Habitable zone

I was born in South Korea and grew up in America. As a person who has dual-citizenship, it is nice to know that I have another home. When I become legal, I will have to choose which country I would like to have citizenship in and that would be a bit challenging. The United States is a place where I would want to continue my education while Korea is where I would like to reside in without having to have a work visa or get married to a native. Korea, my first home, is a country that I always look…

North Korea is described as “among the most harshly repressive countries in the world where basic rights are taken away from the citizens and they deal with abuse like murder, rape, and forced abortions” (HRW). Their inhuman actions have led to much controversy around the world. Other than this, their involvement with building up and testing these nuclear weapons has also been a world issue. Their desire for nuclear weapons is valid to ensure the security of the country from its own citizens,…

As a little girl, I always found myself pondering who I was, and what made me this way. At the time I didn't give thought to culture or race, I thought more of why my thought process was this certain way and wondered why every person must have their own different voice in their head. As I got older and began to grow through new knowledge and experiences, I then understood that we simply do not have this magical thought process that just suddenly appears. I realized that the way we think, the way…

After the Marco Polo incident, the Japanese then spread out in China soon reaching Nanjing. To protect the Chinese citizens from being killed brutally, the International Safety Zones Community built a safety zone. Not long after it was built more than 200,000 people move into it. Thanks to the International Safety Zones Community’s effort, this left a legacy in the Chinese history in standing up to the Japanese. Before the Massacre started, the Japanese first have to settle in China. Japan…

As portrayed in the movie The Interview, North Korea seems like a horrible place full of fake grocery stores and a cruel leader. In reality, North Korea’s situation is much worse. The average North Korean goes through many obstacles every day and has limited access to resources that citizens of other countries would have an abundant amount of access to. Through the continued abuse of human rights, no outside countries seem to believe that they should interfere with how North Korea treats its…

in a zone around their star that is neither too hot nor too cold. With a little more funding NASA would be able to find an exoplanet in the habitable zone in order to find life in the universe to save mankind from the swelling of the sun. But without the funding scientists at NASA and SETI cannot search for planets in this zone. So without being able to search for these planets humanity will lose its second home because the sun is already halfway throughout its life time. The habitable zone,…

solar systems, then again by the fraction of habitable planets, then again by the fraction of those that developed life, then again by the fraction of those that evolved to intelligent life, and then one last time by the fraction that may then be capable of interstellar travel or communication (Tyson, 209). Neither of these propositions are very promising if one is asking about the presence of intelligent…

currently feasible. A planet must have much more than just water in order to be a habitable place, and these factors are often overlooked, in fact the same factors affecting the water supply on Mars are also the factors that factors behind the other reasons it is currently inhospitable. What makes a planet habitable and gives it the ability to sustain life? In 1953, Hubertus Strughold proposed the idea of a habitable zone, which is a region outside of the sun that allows for atmospheric…

when we get shipped to us. The ships cause waves to hit the coast. Is there any other planet that is habitable? NASA’s space telescope has found planets that could be the second “earth”. They found an earth sized planet orbiting the “habitable zone”. Even though it’s in the “habitable zone” it does not mean it could be habitable. There are 40 billon earths like planets orbiting the “habitable zone”, but there’s no evidence that humans could live there. Is Neptune covered in water? Neptune is…

the most ground breaking discoveries in regards to exoplanets, and the severity of the habitable zone in regards to life being possible on a foreign planet. 2.0 Why does the type of star the planets are orbiting matter and what is the habitable zone? M-dwarf stars are the most common stars in the universe that we currently know of. However the habitable zone around these stars is very narrow. The habitable zone of a planet depends on its distance from the star that it orbits and the energy…
