Explore an interactive gallery of some of the most intriguing and exotic planets discovered so far. Historic Timeline. A planetary tour through time. The ancients debated the existence of planets beyond our own; now we know of thousands. He found that the Sun was positioned at one "focus" of the ellipse there are two "foci", both located on the major axis. He also found that when the planets were nearer the sun in their orbits, they move faster than when they were farther from the sun. Many years later, he discovered that the farther a planet was from the sun, on the average, the longer it took for that planet to make one complete revolution. Here you see a planet in a very elliptical orbit. Note how it speeds up when it's near the Sun. Kepler's third law is the one that interests us the most. It states precisely that the period of time a planet takes to go around the sun squared is proportional to the average distance from the sun cubed. Here's the formula:. Note that as the distance of the planet from the sun is increased, the period, or time to make one orbit, will get longer. Kepler didn't know the reason for these laws, though he knew it had something to do with the Sun and its influence on the planets. That had to wait 50 years for Isaac Newton to discover the universal law of gravitation. Closer planets revolve faster, more distant planets revolve slower. The answer lies in how gravity works. The force of gravity is a measure of the pull between two bodies. This force depends on a few things. First, it depends on the mass of the sun and on the mass of the planet you are considering. The heavier the planet, the stronger the pull. If you double the planet's mass, gravity pulls twice as hard. On the other hand, the farther the planet is from the sun, the weaker the pull between the two. The force gets weaker quite rapidly. If you double the distance, the force is one-fourth. If you triple the separation, the force drops to one-ninth. Ten times the distance, one-hundredth the force. See the pattern? The force drops off with the square of the distance. If we put this into an equation it would look like this:. The Exploratorium is more than a museum. Explore our online resources for learning at home. Travel to an outer planet! Johannes Kepler.

With her trademark tortured hero, Adron who who was viciously tortured after selflessly sacrificing himself for a pregnant woman he didn't know is now badly scarred and bitter his every movement an agony. Livia has had a sheltered life, but is determined to break free before she is forced to wed a man 60 years her senior. To do this she must lose her virginity so that her betrothed will no longer have her, and so that is what she intends to do, even if they kill her for it, and Adron seems just the man to help her out. This was a great story I loved it, it had all the aspects of SK's writing which I love to moan about but still read; the soul deep romance; the tortured hero; the melodramatic writing, I lap that stuff up! Another aspect I liked is the family interaction, seeing all Adron's brothers and sister tease him and each other showing how much they love him was both funny and sweet. This is definitely story I would reread and have done! Knightly Dreams 3 Stars Of the three novellas this is the one I enjoyed the least. It was still fun and romantic, but I didn't really connect with either of the characters, that might be because it was so short, but it was still a very quick amusing read. Dragonswan 4 Stars This one was actually a reread for me as I have the ebook on my computer, I think this may actually be the first SK book I ever read. After rereading it I can see why I went on a major SK reading binge afterwards. It was romantic with a bit of action some steamy scenes and of course the requisite hot and tortured hero. I really enjoyed reading this again and I am glad I have it in paperback form as well as on my computer as I am certain I will want to read it again. View all 15 comments.

I love a man with scars, a man who is strong, intelligent, and determined. I feel bad for how horrible his life was until Livia came. I love that he protects her from her father and marries her. It broke my heart when he had to be in the hospital and said he wanted a divorce from Livia. And, is it just me, or does he seem like he would be an exceptional lover? I absolutely loved Livia. I loved how she was unafraid to stand up to Adron all the time when no one else would because they were afraid of his wrath. It broke my heart when she was in a coma from healing him completely. And I love how she always tries to help him, even when he's surly. My favorite part of the story: when Nykyrian walks in on them naked. Then Tiernan does the same thing later on. I love Taryn and Tiernan's banter, and Zarina was as hilarious as ever. I absolutely love when Adron freaks out about Livia talking to Kiara and Zarina about sex. Totally hilarious. I thought it was cool that Nyk, Kiara, and all their kids show up at some point throughout the story. I'm glad that Jayce and Adron are on friendly terms again, and I love that Adron and Livia name their baby after Jayce. I love Devyn's cameo, even if it was only through old videos. The video from the pregnant woman and her daughter always makes me cry. I love, too, that this story is longer than the original version, and I love all the new scenes and new dialogue. I'm always up for more of Nyk and his peeps. I loved Taryn; she's sarcastic, funny, smart, loving. One of my favorite parts was when she took Hawk to Medieval Times to make him feel somewhat at home in her time. I absolutely adored Hawk; he's strong, smart, funny, and determined. It was so cute the way he did special things for Taryn everyday for when she came home. I wanted to beat Alinor for taking Sparhawk away from Taryn. It drove me insane every time it came up in the story, because after having read all the other Were-Hunter books in the Dark-Hunter series, it's clear to me that Katagaria are better than Arcadians. I did like Sebastian, though, despite the prejudice towards Katagaria. He was strong, honorable, funny, and loving. I love that he went to get the tapestry to save his brother even though Damos claimed to hate him, and I love how he continually protected Channon. I liked Channon and thought she was intelligent, funny, and loving. I love how she protected Sebastian and his people in the end. I thought it was hilarious that she thought Damos was Katagaria and pulled a sword on him. I love how she mated Sebastian and it was awesome that she returned his powers with him being half-dead and unconscious. It was interesting to see more of Damos, and I'm glad to finally get at least a little bit of an explanation about him because the other DH books don't. It would be awesome, too, if he got his own book soon. Shelves: ebook , , 5-stars. I thought this was a great book to get myself out of my reading rut and it worked a treat! I have read Dragonswan before back in when I first got into the Dark-Hunter series. And I thought it was just ok but after re-reading it I much enjoyed it the second time around and thought it was a grea I thought this was a great book to get myself out of my reading rut and it worked a treat!
