The differences between inner planets and outer planets, and describe the future of our sun and the solar system. 2 PARAGRAPH DESCRIPTION
I can effectively explain the different theories of the universe. I will discuss theories starting from Ancient Greece through the theories discussed in present day. I will analyze all theories and make a judgment based on my research on which is most valid.
I will research orbits and discuss differences of what we see from the Earth’s surface (phases). 2 PARAGRAPH DESCRIPTION
I can investigate the history of UFOs including claims that the military has hidden evidence about them from the public. Do you agree/disagree with the validity of these findings? Support ypenguinzour answer.
I can investigate the claim that the landing of Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin was a conspiracy created by the United States government. Support or defend the claim.
can identify key technological advancements that helped in making our knowledge of space expand. My research will show the past, but I will also predict what future advancements may stretch our limits even more.

During the 1950s Russia/America Dilemma, The Space Race caused an astronomical uproar. Shortly [one year] after the Russian Sputnik 1; the first man-made satellite, exited Earth's orbit, the Americans executed their own rocket: Jupiter. Over 60 years ago, mankind made its first step towards the final frontier. For even such a simpler time, I would at least predict that since the launch of Sputnik 1, to the liftoff of Endeavor, humans will continue to advance in technology by researching other methods and astronomical mysteries, such as black holes and neurons. We will take said knowledge and use it to our advantage by maybe even creating a device or vehicle that can travel through wormholes in to some, distant, alternate dimension.
Near the end of the Cold War, or The Great Weapons Buildup, America and Russia, the two largest militants in the world during World War II, were still quarreling over who was larger, more powerful, and downright amazing. So was it Democracy, or Communism? Both countries figured space would be the perfect arena for such an occasion. Thus, beginning the Space Race. Since technology was a must at such a time, like the Cold War, both countries attempted at yet again, being better than the other. But as described in the first paragraph, I think that over the course of 60 years, both countries have greatly inclined in astronomical technology. Just a few years ago, or so it seemed, the Hubble Space telescope traveled into the vast, cold environment known as space. Since Sputnik 1, the Hubble has proved itself to be far more superior in space, now reaching the outskirts of our solar system.

UFO: Unidentified Flying Object
There have been multiple "UFO" sightings in the world, some dating back to the renaissance. But in all that time, very few, close to none, have ever been proven. This article describes some sightings, proof to support it, if there is any, and then support my beliefs. Although sightings had been proven to take place during the renaissance, no information has come to my hands of such an incident.
The first sighting takes place in Zacatecas, Mexico in 1883, where Jose Bonilla was monitoring sunspot activity. He noticed more than 300 dark objects passing over the sun in his observatory. Nevertheless, it was later assumed they may have been geese, but nothing else has been proven.
On October 13th, 2010, hundreds crowded the streets of New York City only to look up and see small, numerous lights above the NYC skyline. The FAA reported to Channel 7 news that "our planes are not affected by the lights."
And perhaps the most famous and closest anyone has ever gotten to proving UFO's are real, was the Roswell incident of '47. During the summer of 1947, just after WWII, the R.A.A.F. crew rushed out in the middle of the New Mexico desert to allegedly recover debris from a UFO, possibly containing two extra-terrestrial corpses. The R.A.A.F. told the press it was debris recovered from a high-altitude surveillance balloon. However, if one were to look at a N.O.A.A. high-altitude balloon, they would see that the object found in Roswell looks nothing like the N.O.A.A. balloons. Not much else has been discovered, as the Military may have wanted to keep America from thinking they were being invaded, which was later caused by H.G. Wells story, "The War of the Worlds".
I believe some UFO first-hand accounts are real, whereas others may have been staged or tampered with since the invention of photograph modification tools on computers.There are many people who will say it was dust on the camera lens, or "your eyesight's bad". Some will think it's a new type of airplane being tested. The problem is that such skeptics' ego's are so large, that their mind will create it's own alternate experience, making the skeptic(s) believe that what their ego made them think was right, and no-one could prove it otherwise through their eyes. I like to think that humans aren't the only ones monitoring the solar system, and others as well as my ego's are so small that we research time and again to prove what we saw, and not just assume we were right.
