The passage tilted "The Electric Atmosphere: Plasma Is Next NASA Science Target" by Karen C. Fox, informs the reader of the Van Allen Belts. The Van Allen Belts are two electrified rings that surround the earth. NASA is working on further understanding these belts.

In the first paragraph, the author states that, "Indeed, 99% of the universe is made of this electrified gas, known as plasma." The author uses this data to show how much of this plasma surrounds the earth. The earth is trapped inside of a smaller belt and that smaller belt is surrounded by a much bigger belt. The smaller belt inside of the bigger belt gives it a doughnut-like appearance.

In the second paragraph, the author says to further understand the belts,

When James “Whitey” Bulger appeared in court for the first time in June of 2013, one would never know that he was once the most feared criminal in Boston. At 84 years old, Bulger “shuffled into a federal courthouse” like “a dinosaur in an orange jumpsuit.” (McMorrow 1) After 16 years of escaping the wrath of the FBI, Bulger was finally being put on trial for his long list of heinous crimes including 11 murders, money laundering, weapon violations, and racketeering. (McMorrow 1) However, even more shocking than his convictions was the relationship Bulger had with the FBI, which unraveled before the eyes of the court and people across the country.

The Carnegie Airborne Observatory (CAO) is an airplane containing advanced spectroscopic technology and was developed by Greg Asner. The goal of the CAO is to manage ecosystems using their mapping technology. They are also trying to figure out different ways to organize species in the canopies of rainforests depending on the chemical and spectroscopic traits of leaves. The CAO consists of a visible to short-wave infrared (VSWIR) spectrometer, LiDAR technology, and the Airborne Taxonomic Mapping System (AToMS). All of these technologies assist in obtaining colored 3-D images of tropical forests that can represent and distinguish between a variety of variables such as biomass, density, vegetation, heights of trees/canopies, concentrations of specific elements, and the overall chemical make-up of forests.

Instead, flat-Earthers argue, the planet is a disk. Exactly what this looks like varies by who is theorizing, but many flat-Earth believers say that walls of ice surround the edge of the disk, and that the planets, moons and stars hover in a sort of dome-shaped firmament above Earth, much closer to Earth than they really are. [8 Times Flat-Earthers Tried to Challenge Science in 2017) As conspiracy theories go, it's a pretty all-encompassing one. So what is the appeal?

There were various sources of politics and power apparent in the AstroTech case. Legitimate, coercive, reward, expert, and charismatic are all sources of power that specifically involve an individual. Legitimate power played a role in this case because there were managers who felt like their position gave them power within the company, whereas coercive power was played by a couple of individuals who used a harsh leadership style to get results. Reward power was identified in this case by a promotion that was given to an individual to manage the newly acquired division, while expert power was revealed by an individual who knew more about quality control and specific regulations. A manager in this case displayed charismatic power by his willingness to help his subordinates get the work

The hollow earth theory or ‘hohlwelttheorie’ as it is called in German, is the idea that the Earth is not a solid mass but rather an entirely hollow sphere that within contains a substantial interior space. The idea goes back to ancient mythology, folklore, and legends of a subterranean land inside the Earth, from which places of origin and afterlife were thought to be located, such as the Christian hell described by Dante, the Greek underworld, the Hindu ‘Patala’, the Celtic ‘Cruachan’ just to name few, which in its majority were caves or holes that connected the outside Earth with its interior, from which strange creatures would emerge and be seen in the surface. However, the idea didn’t have any scientific credibility until 1962 when English
