Pluto Lesson
A lesson on Pluto featuring a small briefing on the double-planet theory and how it applies to Pluto and Charon.
Solar system
The document provides an outline of topics related to the solar system, including the birth of the solar system, geocentric and heliocentric theories, an overview of the solar system components, and more detailed information about planets, dwarf planets, asteroids, comets, and other celestial bodies. It describes the terrestrial and Jovian planets, important moons like Jupiter's Galilean moons and Saturn's rings, the asteroid belt, Kuiper belt, dwarf planets like Pluto and Eris, and defines asteroids, meteoroids, meteors, meteorites, and comets. The document aims to inform about the key components, structures, and theories regarding our solar system.
Solar System
1) The ancient Greek philosopher Ptolemy devised the geocentric model which placed Earth at the center of the solar system. This view was supported by the Catholic Church.
2) The document outlines four arguments used to support the geocentric model and explains why each is flawed. It also discusses Ptolemy's model remaining unchallenged for 14 centuries.
3) Nicolaus Copernicus later proposed the heliocentric model which correctly placed the Sun at the center. This was initially opposed by the Catholic Church but gained support through evidence from seasons, Galileo's telescope observations, Kepler's laws of planetary motion, and Newton's theory of gravity.
ASTRONOMY
The document summarizes tides, including their causes due to the gravitational interaction between the Earth, Moon and Sun. It describes the stages of a tidal cycle from flood tide to low tide. It distinguishes between spring tides, which occur during full and new moons when gravitational forces align to produce stronger tides, and neap tides during quarter moons when forces are perpendicular and tides are weaker. Rare proxigean spring tides result from a close and aligned positioning of the Moon.
jupiter
Júpiter es el planeta más grande del sistema solar, compuesto principalmente de hidrógeno y helio. Se encuentra a unos 750 millones de km del Sol y tiene un diámetro 10 veces mayor que la Tierra. Júpiter tiene 16 lunas conocidas, incluyendo los 4 mayores - Io, Europa, Ganímedes y Calisto - y ha sido explorado en múltiples ocasiones por la NASA.
The asteroid belt
The Asteroid Belt lies between Mars and Jupiter, contains an estimated 750,000 asteroids over 1 km in diameter and millions more smaller asteroids. It is home to the dwarf planet Ceres and while most asteroids remain in the Belt, some have orbits bringing them closer to Earth and other planets, occasionally resulting in collisions.
Planet Mercury
Mercury is the planet closest to the Sun and the least explored. It is very difficult to study from Earth due to its proximity to the Sun, which means it never gets more than 28 degrees from the Sun's glare. Mercury is the smallest planet and fastest planet in its orbit, taking 88 days to revolve around the Sun. The Mariner 10 spacecraft was the first to visit Mercury in 1974 and photographed nearly half of its surface, finding a landscape scarred by impacts and wrinkled with great ridges.
Space Exploration
This document provides a timeline and overview of major events and accomplishments in space exploration from 1957 to 2004, including the first satellites, spaceflights of animals and humans, lunar landings, Mars missions, and key figures like Neil Armstrong, Yuri Gagarin, and Sally Ride. It also profiles several famous explorers and their missions, and includes videos and diagrams related to space travel.
Solar system PPT
The document summarizes the key components of the solar system. It describes the terrestrial and Jovian planets, asteroids, meteoroids, and comets. It also outlines theories for how the solar system formed from an initial nebula of dust and gas, including how planets condensed from this nebula via accumulation of dust particles and subsequent collisions of planetesimals over hundreds of millions of years.
Pluto The Dwarf Planet
Project about Pluto for Planetary Geology 2010
I updated some information and pictures on this powerpoint on 10/16/12

Jupiter
Jupiter is the largest planet in our solar system, with a mass more than twice that of all other planets combined. It is composed primarily of gas and liquid and rotates faster than any other planet. Jupiter has the strongest magnetic field of any planet and has over 60 moons, four of which are large moons called the Galilean satellites that were discovered by Galileo. Europa may have subsurface oceans that could potentially support life. Many missions have been sent to Jupiter to study its atmosphere, magnetosphere, rings and moons.
Pluto
Pluto is a small, cold dwarf planet located in the Kuiper Belt at the edge of our solar system. It has an elliptical orbit that sometimes takes it closer to the Sun than Neptune. Pluto is made up of rocks and frozen gases like methane and ammonia and has a very thin atmosphere. It has three moons, with Charon being the largest at about half the size of Pluto. Due to its small size and great distance from Earth, Pluto cannot be seen with the naked eye and requires a large telescope to view it as a tiny point of light.
Space Exploration
Space exploration involves using astronomy and space technology to explore outer space. It began with rocket development in the early 20th century and allowed physical space exploration. The early era was a space race between the US and USSR, marked by firsts like Sputnik and Apollo 11. Since then, focus has shifted to cooperation and private interests in space tourism and exploration. Many countries now have plans for future manned missions to destinations like the Moon and Mars.
The Planet Mercury
The document provides information about the planet Mercury:
- Mercury is the closest planet to the sun and orbits it the fastest of all planets due to its small orbital radius.
- It has no moons and rotates very slowly, with a day lasting almost two of its months.
- NASA's Mariner 10 and MESSENGER probes helped reveal Mercury's heavily cratered surface and thin atmosphere through fly-bys and orbital observations.
Uranus ppt
Uranus is the 7th planet from the Sun, discovered by William Herschel in 1781. It has a thick atmosphere composed of hydrogen and methane that gives it a blue-green color. Uranus is an 'ice giant' composed mostly of ice and some rocky material. Unlike other planets, Uranus spins on its side with its axis perpendicular to its orbit, likely due to an ancient collision that tipped it over. Its seasons last over 20 years as a result. Uranus has 27 moons named after characters from Shakespeare and Pope.
The NASA and the Apollo 11
The document summarizes the history of NASA and the Apollo program. It describes how NASA was founded in 1958 to replace NACA and oversee the US space program, including unmanned missions from 1958 onward. A key goal was the Apollo program to land astronauts on the Moon, which achieved the first manned lunar landing in 1969 by Apollo 11. The Apollo missions continued through 1972, conducting lunar surface exploration and scientific studies, but growing costs led the government to end the program.
Basic astronomy
The document provides information about astronomy and the solar system. It discusses the definition of astronomy and describes the solar system including the eight planets, their satellites, asteroids, comets, and other objects within the sun's gravitational influence. It then focuses on specific planets like Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Venus, and Mercury. Details are given about their composition, orbits, moons, and other characteristics.
Planets
The universe contains millions of galaxies, including the Milky Way galaxy that contains our solar system. Our solar system is centered around the sun, which is made up of hot gases. It contains layers including the photosphere and chromosphere. The solar system also contains 8 planets that can be divided into terrestrial and gas planets. The terrestrial planets are closer to the sun and include Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars while the gas planets farther out include Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. The solar system also contains asteroids, meteors, comets, and other minor members.
Pluto - The Dwarf Planet
Curiosities and general information about the dwarf-planet Pluto, visited by New Horizons spacecraft in 14-July-2015.
Life cycle of stars
There are different life cycle stages for stars depending on their original mass. Low mass stars progress through the stages of nebula, main sequence, red giant, planetary nebula, white dwarf, and black dwarf. High mass stars go through nebula, main sequence, red supergiant, supernova, and either become a neutron star or black hole. The main sequence stage can last billions of years for low mass stars but only millions for high mass stars.
New Horizon: The First Mission to the Pluto System and the Kuiper Belt
The New Horizons mission launched in 2006 to conduct the first reconnaissance of the Pluto system and Kuiper Belt, sending a spacecraft on a long journey to answer questions about these distant bodies. It swung by Jupiter in 2007 for a gravity assist and will conduct a six-month study of Pluto starting in 2015, with closest approach on July 14th. If approved for an extended mission, it could explore one or two Kuiper Belt objects over a billion miles past Neptune to understand the origins and outskirts of the solar system. The mission seeks to determine where Pluto fits in compared to other solar system objects and to explore how ice dwarf planets and Kuiper Belt bodies have evolved.
Mission mans-legacy-on-space
NASA has a long legacy of space exploration including landing rovers on Mars, exploring planets like Jupiter and Saturn, and landing humans on the Moon. Some of NASA's most notable missions include Pioneer 10/11 which were the first to visit Jupiter and Saturn, Voyager 1/2 which made flybys of Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune, and WMAP which provided a more precise estimate of the age and composition of the universe. Other landmark missions include Spirit and Opportunity on Mars, Cassini-Huygens at Saturn, Chandra observing the universe in X-rays, Viking as the first successful Mars lander, and Hubble which has changed our understanding of the cosmos through its iconic images.

Voyager - World's The Greatest Space Mission
The twin Voyager 1 and 2 spacecraft are exploring where nothing from Earth has flown before. Continuing on their more-than-40-year journey since their 1977 launches, they each are much farther away from Earth and the sun than Pluto. In August 2012, Voyager 1 made the historic entry into interstellar space, the region between stars, filled with material ejected by the death of nearby stars millions of years ago. Voyager 2 entered interstellar space on November 5, 2018 and scientists hope to learn more about this region. Both spacecraft are still sending scientific information about their surroundings through the Deep Space Network, or DSN.
The primary mission was the exploration of Jupiter and Saturn. After making a string of discoveries there — such as active volcanoes on Jupiter's moon Io and intricacies of Saturn's rings — the mission was extended. Voyager 2 went on to explore Uranus and Neptune, and is still the only spacecraft to have visited those outer planets. The adventurers' current mission, the Voyager Interstellar Mission (VIM), will explore the outermost edge of the Sun's domain. And beyond.
Redone final project
Space probes are unmanned spacecraft that collect science information from locations in space without astronauts. They carry instrument packages to conduct scientific experiments and transmit data back to Earth. Probes can fly by, orbit, or land on planets, moons, asteroids, and comets to study features from a close proximity. Some notable space probes include Voyager 1 and 2, Galileo, Cassini, Curiosity, and probes launched by ISRO to study planets in our solar system.
Pictures of the year 2013: Space
The document provides a summary of notable space and astronomy pictures from 2013, including:
1) Hubble telescope photos of the Horsehead Nebula and a map of relic radiation from the Big Bang composed from Planck satellite data.
2) Photos from Mars including the Curiosity rover drilling into a rock and findings suggesting Mars could have once supported life.
3) Photos of Saturn from Cassini including its rings, hexagonal polar vortex, and storms; and photos of the Milky Way from space and Earth.
New Horizons
New Horizons is an interplanetary space probe launched by NASA in 2006 as part of its New Frontiers program. It was engineered by the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory to study Pluto, its moons, and the Kuiper Belt by performing flybys of objects in the Kuiper Belt. New Horizons launched with 7 scientific instruments to examine Pluto's atmosphere, particles, surface composition, and take high resolution photographs. After a Jupiter gravity assist in 2007, New Horizons conducted a flyby of Pluto in 2015, becoming the first spacecraft to explore the dwarf planet. The mission aims to understand the formation of the Pluto system and early Solar System evolution.

New Horizons has travelled over 3 billion miles over 9 years to study Pluto and its moons up close. It will pass within 6,200 miles of Pluto in July, obtaining hundreds of thousands of images and measurements to transform our understanding. Currently very little is known about Pluto, but the data from New Horizons will fill textbooks. After studying Pluto, New Horizons will continue on into the Kuiper Belt to rendezvous with another small planet years from now.Similar to The Cassini Huygens Probe (20)

Cosa hanno in comune un mattoncino Lego e la backdoor XZ?
ABSTRACT: A prima vista, un mattoncino Lego e la backdoor XZ potrebbero avere in comune il fatto di essere entrambi blocchi di costruzione, o dipendenze di progetti creativi e software. La realtà è che un mattoncino Lego e il caso della backdoor XZ hanno molto di più di tutto ciò in comune.

CAKE: Sharing Slices of Confidential Data on Blockchain
Presented at the CAiSE 2024 Forum, Intelligent Information Systems, June 6th, Limassol, Cyprus.
Synopsis: Cooperative information systems typically involve various entities in a collaborative process within a distributed environment. Blockchain technology offers a mechanism for automating such processes, even when only partial trust exists among participants. The data stored on the blockchain is replicated across all nodes in the network, ensuring accessibility to all participants. While this aspect facilitates traceability, integrity, and persistence, it poses challenges for adopting public blockchains in enterprise settings due to confidentiality issues. In this paper, we present a software tool named Control Access via Key Encryption (CAKE), designed to ensure data confidentiality in scenarios involving public blockchains. After outlining its core components and functionalities, we showcase the application of CAKE in the context of a real-world cyber-security project within the logistics domain.

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing Days
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.
