All
great discoverys begin with a problem or question.Did the Maya worship
space gods? Now we know the answer, but 50 years ago we did not know the
answer to that. They did. |
Ancient Cultures And Space

Space.
Planets. Space Shuttle. Rockets. All in space, but did you know that we
are not the only ones who are fascinated by space? |
The
Aztecs had huge pyramids that were in almost all grand cities. Those
pyramids were dedicated to the solar system and there gods, who they
belive created it. Below is an aztec pyramid.
You can see that this pyramid looks nothing like Egytian pyramids. |
The Greek gods had many children, brother and sisters who are related to space and in the cases of Zeus |
When the sun explodes in 4 billion years, but we shall be off this planet in…. |
Ares,
a NASA project is designed to take satellites and humans in space. Ares
was a ancient Greek god of war. On the left is Ares V, on the
right is Ares I. Below is Pegasus, whitch you can read about in box on the right. |
Another NASA rocket with a Greek mythical name is Pegasus, a rocket for launching satellites. Notice Pegasus has wings, which makes it unique. Another thing that makes it unique is that it is launched from an airplane! The space shuttle is tested on a modified Boeing 747, so I geuss it kind of makes sense to launch a space shuttle like rocket from a plane. |
Ancient civilizations are almost gone. But their memory lives on in modern rockets and other great machines named after them. |
Our wonderful sun. The thing earth revolves around. The thing that some
ancient civilizations worshiped. The center of our solar system! |

The
artist's impression of an Alien. Some gullible people belive that a
ancient person's skull shows a Alien bullet hole. In truth that is an
early form of brain surgery! The injury shows that the person healed
partly! But ,who knows if aliens are real? That is why we explore! CREDITS Levi (HMS) Marta (ICSA) Pictures from NASA Sun from The Creation of A Black Hole Aztec Pyramid By Maunus (Own work) [Public domain], via Wikimedia CommonsBy:Its_Richard http://phantasticphysics.wikispaces.com/ |
Who knows what is out there! |
Space. Galaxys. Ancients. Aliens. Rockets. Gods. The realm of space!!! |
