asteroid belt n.

In view of the dimensions of the rings which formed the planets…, we cannot suppose that a single ring occupied all the space within the asteroid belt.

Taking this distance of the sun as a unit, the distances of the inner planets, Mercury and Venus, are 13 and 34 respectively, while the exterior planets, Mars, asteroid belt, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune, may be approximately represented by the numbers 1½, 3, 5, 10, 20, and 30.

If it’s so dangerous, why couldn’t we fly over the asteroid belt?

The asteroid belt was many millions of miles across, but they hoped to encounter very few of the spinning particles at this time.

The two tiny slabs of rock, revolving about each other, made up a part of the asteroid belt, all that remained of a mythical planet between Mars and Jupiter (which must have disrupted into the thousands of tiny fragments many millions of years before).

Beyond Mars, both newer and older, lies the asteroid belt—wreckage of a world that exploded, but that was peopled once, too. It is a wonderful, terrible region.

None of these bodies are livable. Then comes the asteroid belt, followed by four small dense planets, two of which appear to be inhabitable.

Astronomers have discovered that about 10% of the asteroids, including many of the larger ones near the inner part of the asteroid belt, are stony-iron types.

The most remarkable thing we encountered was an asteroid belt.

Martin Humphries presents rival Dan Randolph a solution…that will also help Earth: build a fusion rocket so it is economically feasible to mine the Asteroid Belt for the energy the Earth needs.
