Technological Tools and Devices Needed for Space Exploration. Some technological tools and devices needed for space exploration are spacesuits, telescopes, spectroscopes, and a spacecraft.
Technological Tools and Devices Needed for Space Exploration Cont. Other Technological Tools and Devices Needed for Space Exploration are: • Space Probes • EVA Gloves • Helmet • SAFER (Simplified Aid For EVA Rescue) • Pistol-grip Tool • Robot Crane • Safety Tethers
The Planets There are 9 planets in the Solar System. The closest planet from the sun is Mercury. After Mercury, there is Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto.
Solar Eclipse An eclipse of the sun happens when the moon spins in its orbit around the earth comes between the sun and the earth.
Lunar Eclipse Lunar eclipses happen when Earth's shadow blocks the sun’s light, otherwise, the sunlight would reflect off the moon. There are three types of Lunar Eclipses, a Penumbral Lunar Eclipse, a Partial Lunar Eclipse, and a Total Lunar Eclipse. The last Lunar Eclipse was on May 10, 2013 ( We were not able to see it though). This is a picture of Total Lunar Eclipse
Difference Between Meteors and Asteroids An asteroid is a rocky object in space that's not as big as a planet. There are millions of them, meanwhile on the other hand we have meteors. A meteor is an asteroid that burns up as it enters the Earth's atmosphere. VS. Asteroid Meteor
Comets Comets are often referred to as "dirty snowballs." They are left over from the formation of stars and planets billions of years ago. Comets that we see in our solar system start out as big chunks of rock and ice just floating around in something called the Oort Cloud. This is a photo of an Oort Cloud. An Oort Cloud is like a cloud that carries trillions of comets.

5 Facts About the Moon • The Moon is 4.5 billion years old. • The USA’s NASA Apollo 11 mission in 1969 was the first manned Moon landing. • The first person to set foot on the Moon was Neil Armstrong. • Mons Huygens is the tallest mountain on the Moon, it is 4700 meters tall, just over half the height of Mt Everest (8848m). • The Moon orbits the Earth every 27.3 days.
How Moons and Tides are Related Tides are created because the Earth and the moon are attracted to each other, just like magnets are attracted to each other. The moon tries to pull at anything on the Earth to bring it closer. But, the Earth is able to hold onto everything except the water. Since the water is always moving, the Earth cannot hold onto it, and the moon is able to pull at it. The ocean is constantly moving from high tide to low tide.
10 Facts about Earth! • The Earth is rotating at its axis at about 1,070 miles per hour. • Earth is hottest when it is furthest from the Sun on its orbit. • The coldest day in the world was on July 21 1983.It was -89.2°C ( Exactly 18 years before I was born). • Earth is the only planet in the Solar System to have water in its three states of matter.
10 Facts about Earth! (Cont.) • Earth is the only planet in the Solar System not to be named after a mythical God. • From a distance, Earth would be the brightest planet because, sunlight is reflected off our planet's water. • Earth is sometimes referred as the Blue Planet. • 99% of Earths gold lies in its core. • 8.6 million lightning strikes a day. • A human can survive 2 minutes in space unprotected.
Sundials Sundials were used by many cities to help the people know what time it was. When the Sun was directly over the sundial, it was said to be noon. As technology grew, clocks and watches were used instead. Still, these clocks and watches were still set and checked by using a sundial.
How Humans meet their basic biological needs in space There are many ways that basic biological needs can be met in space. If water is needed, it's frozen to make sure it is fresh when it is defrosted in space. Water
How Humans meet their basic biological needs in space Cont. Air in the spacecraft A continuous supply of oxygen is essential for breathing. A manned spacecraft uses a gas, which is a combination of oxygen and nitrogen. This gas is circulated with the help of fans in the cabin.
