87 Words1 Pages
Uranus and Neptune are distinctly bluer than Jupiter and Saturn because of the levels of Methane in the planets ' atmospheres. This allows their respective atmoshperes to absorb light in the red part of the spectrum, and reflects light back in the blue part of the spectrum. They also appear bluer because they are made up of mostly hydrogen and helium, which is a stark contrast to that of Jupiter and Saturn. Compared to Jupiter and Saturn, Uranus and Neptune are both much smaller, less massive, and denser.

Cyanobacteria are able to absorb light at both short and long wavelengths whereas Chlorobi can only absorb light at long wavelengths. In the reaction center of cyanobacteria, oxygen is produced whereas the reaction center of Chlorobi does not generate oxygen. How do Green Bacteria overcome the low light conditions at which they are often found? Green bacteria have large chlorosomes which are composed of bacteriochlorophyll and carotenoids.

In the novel, Death By Black Hole, Neil DeGrasse Tyson proves that the common assumption that the color of our solar system’s sun is yellow, is, in fact, an incorrect belief. Many people think that the sun is yellow because, “Near sunset … the blue light from the sun’s spectrum, lost to the twilight sky, leaves behind a yellow-orange-red hue…”(Tyson 293).This shows why this common misconception is not an easy thing to spot and is understandable why most people incorrectly assume the color of the sun. The actual color of the sun is proven by the fact that, “ if the sun were yellow… then white stuff would reflect this light and appear yellow…”(Tyson 293). If the sun was actually yellow then the colors we see around us would have been changed

Miranda is most likely the most interesting of Uranus’ eleven moons. Miranda looks almost as if pieces of a jigsaw has been placed together and resulted in this moon. Miranda is known for its unique characteristics and notable features such as chevron, layer cakes and race tracks. Some of the conditions of this moon are not appropriate to sustain life. We believe no life can exist on Miranda because it has no water, has very few nutrients and unreasonable temperatures which is illustrated in this moon having ice, rock material and temperatures that are too cold for life.

“Sleeping Beauty” is a well-known fairy-tale, due to Disney’s animated film released in 1959. This isn’t the first rendition of the story, though, as there have been multiple versions over different cultures, each having their own different aspects to the story. The earliest version is the Italian story of “Sun, Moon, and Talia,” written in 1634, with the German version “Little Briar Rose” written in 1812. The differences between these versions of the story reveal deeper cultural values and history of the time that they were written, which deepens the understanding of why the stories were written the way that they were.

The Banquet of Trimalchio from Petronius’s famous book “Satyricon”, is a very important event that takes place in the story even though it is considered not to have any real connection with the overall plot. A very wealthy freedman named Trimalchio hosts a dinner party for many guests, where he shows off his luxury items and foods. During the banquet, it is clear to see that Trimalchio is not interested with his quests or knows them very well, he only had the banquet to show off his wealth. We also learn that Trimalchio is obsessed with death and gods, and has very little education and culture to offer.
