Jeremiah Reynolds also delivered lectures on the " Hollow Earth " and argued for an expedition.

This story describes an expedition from a Utopian Socialist Earth arriving at a Mars which is divided between two oppressive, warring empires.

Captain Wilder approaches under a white flag and has a short discussion with Spender during which the archaeologist explains that if he manages to kill off the expedition it may delay human colonization of the planet for a few more years, possibly long enough that the expected nuclear war on Earth will protect Mars from human colonization completely.

; " The City ": A rocket expedition from Earth lands on an uncharted planet to be greeted by a seemingly empty city.

Early in the 23rd century, the United Planets Cruiser C57-D travels to the planet Altair IV, 16 light-years from the Earth, to discover the fate of an expedition sent 20 years earlier.

In the former novel, Lazarus is revealed at the end of the novel as the father of protagonist Colin " Richard Ames " Campbell ; whereas in the latter novel, Maureen as narrator tells a somewhat different version of Lazarus ' visit to Earth in 1916-18 and reveals that Lazarus ( as Woodrow " Bill " Smith ) was the backup pilot of the first lunar expedition.

During the reign of al-Ma ' mun, and together with Khālid ibn ʿAbd al ‐ Malik al ‐ Marwarrūdhī, he participated in an expedition to the Plain of Sinjar to measure the length of a degree, or the circumference of the Earth.

In 1823, Johnson proposed in the Senate that the government fund an expedition to the center of the Earth.

Sitchin states that these " gods " were the rank-and-file workers of the colonial expedition to Earth from planet Nibiru.

Two hundred colonists arrive on Avalon to found a new community, having made the 100-year journey from Earth in suspended animation on the starship Geographic ( the expedition is funded by the National Geographic Society ).

The cry of Xenophon's soldiers when they meet the sea is mentioned by the narrator of Jules Verne's Journey to the Center of the Earth, when their expedition discovers an underground ocean.

The expedition is currently suspended as Atlantis remains on Earth until repairs are completed after its most recent clash with the Wraith.

Lhotse Middle remained, for a long time, the highest unclimbed named point on Earth ; on May 23, 2001, its first ascent was made by Eugeny Vinogradsky, Sergei Timofeev, Alexei Bolotov and Petr Kuznetsov of a Russian expedition.

Hostilities between Earth and the Mysterons commence following a Zero-X expedition on Mars led by Captain Black of the Earth security organisation Spectrum.

He also appeared as Henry " Birdie " Bowers in the 1985 television serial about Scott's last Antarctic expedition, The Last Place on Earth.

When the expedition finally arrives at Jalo's pre-programmed coordinates, they find a flattened version of the mediaeval Eastern hemisphere of Earth, clearly artificial.

While the history of the real " Earth " in Strata clearly is not the one we are familiar with, the history of the flat Earth is consistent with our own, up to the point where the expedition arrives.

This first expedition, beginning in 1997, lasted only two years from the soldier's perspective, but due to time dilation, upon return to Earth decades have passed.

Before the fall of the Old Empire, a scientific expedition known as the Noah 9 left Earth in search of Heaven, a paradise world to which humans could immigrate.

Wyatt and Whipple, 1950 ), which is a retardation of the orbital motion of particles by the relativistic aberration of the repulsive force of the impinging solar radiation, causes the dust to spiral into the sun in times much shorter than the age of the Earth.

If such is the case, the particles within a distance of about Af of the Earth will have, relative to the Earth, a kinetic energy less than their potential energy and they will be captured into orbits about the Earth.

It is also possible that some of the dust in the vicinity of the Earth originated from meteoritic impacts upon the moon.

Beyond a few million kilometers from the Earth, but still in the region of the Earth's orbit, a prediction of the flux of dust is even more unreliable.

The direct evidence on the micrometeorite environment near the Earth is obtained from piezoelectric sensors ( essentially microphones ) and from wire gages ; ;

if a substantial fraction of the dust is orbiting about the Earth, only about one third the above-mentioned average velocity should be used in deriving the mass.

Of course, if there is a dust blanket around the Earth, the fluxes in interplanetary space should be less than the figures given here.

A measure of the total mass accretion of meteoritic material by the Earth is obtained from analyses of deep-sea sediments and dust collected in remote regions ( Pettersson, 1960 ).

What Gabriel was asking was that mankind forego all its parochial moral judgments, and contract to let the Angels serve on Earth as it is in Heaven regardless of the applicable Earth laws.

The average overall albedo of Earth, its planetary albedo, is 30 to 35 %, because of the covering by clouds, but varies widely locally across the surface, depending on the geological and environmental features.

Human time on Earth is divided up into relevant cultural traditions based on material, such as the Paleolithic and the Neolithic, of particular use in archaeology.

* Earth Architecture-A website whose focus is contemporary issues in earth architecture.

The Arctic Circle is one of the five major circles of latitude that mark maps of the Earth.

A relatively recent role for amateur astronomers is searching for overlooked phenomena ( e. g., Kreutz Sungrazers ) in the vast libraries of digital images and other data captured by Earth and space based observatories, much of which is available over the Internet.

Recently however, funding of projects such as the Lincoln Near-Earth Asteroid Research and Near Earth Asteroid Tracking projects has meant that most comets are now discovered by automated systems, long before it is possible for amateurs to see them.

This unique sound is the backdrop for the band's message of dignity for indigenous people, all of humanity, and Earth.

In Abrahamic religions the view is generally held that one goes to hell or heaven depending on one's deeds and / or faith while on Earth, or predestination and Unconditional election, or to the intermediate state to await the Resurrection of the Dead.

The second resurrection is of the unrighteous, when Jesus brings the New Jerusalem down from heaven to relocate to Earth.

Islam teaches that the life we live on Earth is nothing but a test for us and to determine each individual's ultimate abode be it punishment or Jannat in the afterlife, which is eternal and everlasting.
