83. Science Line - Physics & Astronomy - Is There Much Geological Activity On The Ot But instead, Jupiter s moon Io is a world of volcanoes more The other volcanic moonis even stranger - so strange that Physics astronomy subject categories. http://www.sciencenet.org.uk/database/phys/astronomy/solarsystem/Mercury/p01006c

Is there much geological activity on the other planets? There is quite a lot of activity - particularly erupting volcanoes - elsewhere in the Solar System, but it's not where you would expect it to be. Mars is famous for its volcanoes - they dwarf the largest ones on Earth. Olympus Mons (Mount Olympus) on Mars rises to 27 kilometres above the surrounding plains, compared to the Hawaiian volcanoes on Earth, which are 6 kilometres high (measured from the sea floor). The entire planet actually bulges out beneath the Tharsis Plain where the Martian volcanoes are located. This 'Tharsis Bulge' was caused by molten lava rising up to feed the volcanoes from inside the planet, creating a giant 'convection cell', and pushing the solid crust 6 kilometres above the surrounding terrain. Venus has a wide variety of different features caused by lava, and several huge volcanoes as well. There is a possibility that some of the volcanoes might still be wich is often associated with erupting volcanoes on Earth. Mercury, much smaller than Venus, Earth and Mars, never seems to have had any internal activity - its surface was created entirely by bombardment with rocks from space. This leaves Earth as possibly the only one of the four terrestrial planets which is still active - and certainly the only one where geological activity is still shaping the surface.

84. Science Line - Physics & Astronomy - Careers Information - Dr. Ellen Stofan effect on me. The idea that we could explore the solar system, touchother worlds, was incredibly exciting. I also loved geology http://www.sciencenet.org.uk/careers/phys/ellens.html

Dr. Ellen Stofan It also transpired that her parents were a great influence on her. 'My father is an engineer and my mother was a science teacher, so science and space were just always a part of my life,' she says. 'They certainly didn't push me into any specific career, but I knew that they supported me and felt that I could achieve whatever goals I had.' But Ellen is one of the relatively few women working in science. The last 15 years or so have seen a surge in women entering the different fields of science, but recent studies show that women still get paid a lot less than men in similar positions, even at universities and science laboratories. 'The generation above me, 40 and older, are mostly men. The positive news is that there are a lot of women in the field who are my age and younger. I think trying to combine a family and a career in any field is difficult, but in general the opportunities for women are great in the sciences.' The highlight of her career to date has been working as the deputy Project Scientist on the Magellan mission to Venus. 'I got to be present at 4am when the first Magellan images of Venus were processed,' says Ellen. 'It was such an incredible feeling knowing that you are one of the first people to ever look at this area of a planetary surface.' The role of science communication is becoming more prevalent in today's rapidly changing world. Since space programmes are supported by taxpayers' money and the information is of great importance in learning about our own world, I asked Ellen how she communicated her research. 'I give talks in schools and to other groups and I write articles. However, I don't think we do a good enough job of letting everyone know what exciting things we are doing and how we are really moving forward in understanding how planets form and change, including the Earth.'

90. Parallel Worlds astronomy is an art with which astrologers can know the For if there were some otherheaven, then both or any closeness between the two worlds, as shown in http://lullianarts.net/worlds.html

Parallel universes and corporeal nature Two parts: first part : a translation of a passage by Blessed Raymond Lull, second part : comments and further references. The first part Article 83, on Astronomy, in the 100 Forms of Ars Brevis by Blessed Raymond Lull : Astronomy is an art with which astrologers can know the virtues and movements that heaven effectively rules in things below, and the topic of this art is heaven, signified by the letter D. And if there is any doubt or question regarding heaven the question can be answered by referring to the third subject, or heaven, in accordance with the explanations given. And this must be done without altering the things said there about heaven. However, I say that it is possible for another heaven to exist, because God's power is infinite. And if there were such a thing, distance and closeness would remain disposed in the state of potentiality, without any actual existence outside the said heavens, as they would have no subject or locus because there would be nothing but void between the said heavens. And at this point, the intellect wonders: if the Sun is not hot in itself, for what reason does it heat the air? But then it considers that the Sun causes heat through its presence, as it causes darkness by its absence, so that day and night can exist. Article 83 of the 100 forms of Ars Brevis: Questions about astronomy What is astronomy? Is astronomy dependent on geometry? Is there any other eighth sphere, any other universe, or some other starry sky? As the Sun is not hot, how does it heat air? Many more questions can be put regarding astronomy and their solutions are implicit in the third subject, which is heaven. For instance, supposing there is another eighth sphere, would the distance, or closeness between the two exist in potentiality, or in actuality?

Sites are mostly listed alphabetically within each chapter. At the end, we also list a number of more general sites that apply to many topics in introductory astronomy. We include only sites that we have visited ourselves and find useful, and try to evaluate the site from the perspective of a reader or instructor of a textbook like Voyages Through the Universe. We try to describe the site in enough detail so you can make an intelligent decision about whether you want to go there. (There is nothing more annoying than a long list of tantalizingly or ambiguously named web sites which does not explain what each site contains, and how sites differ from each other.) We make no claims for completeness and welcome suggestions for additions or deletions. New sites will be added to the list regularly, so feel free to check back with us from time to time.
