Lost Matter in Space Found

I was researching topics to do this on when I came across something that confused me but also made me really interested. It was an article which read “lost matter in space was found”, i didn't really know at that time what it meant but after researching this the topic started to really interest me. It all started when in 1998 NASA decided to make a inventory of all the matter in the universe. After a data collection something was missing in it, after calculation of how much matter was in the universe after big bang they were missing a large amount of matter that should be there. After a lot of work trying to find the matter and doing what they could at the time to be able to find it they came up hopeless.

NASA ended up leaving the missing matter to later scientist since they weren't able to find it. Though over this last year a group decided to try to find the missing matter. The thing about this matter is it is dark matter and when they did the study 15% of the universe was supposed to be dark matter but they could only find 1.5%. This matter was also visible to the eye so they thought that they would be able to find it easily though that wasn't the case for this. Over a year of research they started to get close to something they thought could be it.

To be able to find the gas the single between the gas was so faint they had to multiply the single by a million to have a chance to find it. They were also nervous that the matter either got sucked up or was just so faint that a large percentage of matter just disappeared out of nowhere. Though after a lot of work finally they were able to come up with a signal in the matter. They were able to discover all of the matter that was thought to be missing or just gone. The lost matter was wound after almost 25 years.

In the beginning this topic really interested me I wanted to understand how matter just disappeared it didn't make sense to me. After reading and researching the topic more I was able to understand as much as possible yea there is still things I have questions about such as how we knew it was gone if we never saw it before, or if we just miss calculated. I mean the reason they knew about the matter was because of the big bang theory which is a theory so how did they knew it was really there. And did this mean that there is more proof that the big bang theory is true. I had many questions yet most were answered this did though interest me and I liked learning about it.

Force and Motion in Concerts

Force and Motion Blog  By Amadi Clemens INTRODUCTION: Do you listen to Travis Scott? If so, you know of his most recent album AstroWorld has been on tour. One of his recent shows (in Oakland, California) he performed with a roller coaster. Crazy, right? It wasn’t like a full roller coaster that you see Six Flags. It’s like the Ring of Fire at Clementon Park. His ring ties into his theme park theme! PROS AND CONS: There are pros and cons that follow this event. A pro is that it was a fresh idea. I’ve seen amusement parks and rides in music videos but never live in concert. Another pro is that it was eye-catching and entertaining.. The main idea of a concert is that it is entertaining, this is going back to the idea of fresh. A con is that it’s very dangerous. Although thrilling, what if something goes wrong? What if it breaks? What if it stops mid-way in the year and he can’t rap anymore? Mechanical service would have to come and get him and that can ruin the concert. Another con, what

Chemical complexities that causes Saturn's rings to change planet’s atmosphere

Ayad Alhazmi 10/19/2018 Chemical complexities that causes Saturn's rings to change planet’s atmosphere New discoveries are made today on Saturn's rings by the Cassini space probe. Based on data from the final orbits of NASA's Cassini space probe shows the rings of Saturn. Some of the most amazing celestial objects in the universe are far more chemically complicated than was previously understood by scientist. When the Cassini space probe first gathered the information from 2017 and the signals of Cassini took scientist a long time to retrieve the information. Also knowing the astrophysicists are still studying it is beyond my reach. I will show you a quote by a professor of physics and astronomy Thomas Cravens. "Two things surprised me. One is the chemical complexity of what was coming off the rings -- we thought it would be almost entirely water based on what we saw in the past. The second thing is the sheer quantity of it -- a lot more than we originally expected.

The Earth is a very big Magnet Its North and South Poles are Highly Magnetic

The Earth is a very big Magnet     Its North and South Poles are Highly Magnetic   By: Alzahraa Alrubaiey Magnetism is the force exerted by magnets when they attract or repel each other. Magnetism is caused by the motion of electric charges. Earth has two geographic poles: the North Pole and the South Pole. They are the places on Earth's surface that Earth's imaginary spin axis passes through. Our planet also has two magnetic poles: the North Magnetic Pole and the South Magnetic Pole. The magnetic poles are near, but not quite in the same place as the geographic poles.   The Earth is a magnet that can interact with other magnets in this way, so the north end of a compass magnet is drawn to align with the Earth's magnetic field. Because the Earth's magnetic North Pole attracts the north ends of other magnets, it is technically the South Pole of our planet's magnetic field. A compass point north because all magnets have two poles, a north pole
