are going. The universe is all that we have, and human kind has developed the ability to explore it. But the real question is if we should. Some issues should be considered when it comes to space exploration, and those are economics, ethics, and science. These three things are the most important factors to consider. The economic effect from space exploration is an important factor to consider. Technology is expensive and the amount of money it takes to pay for the research, salaries, materials…

An ancient alien theorist, Erich von Däniken, believes extraterrestrials landed on Earth, were hailed as gods, and aided in the shaping of human civilization. What proof you may ask could possibly exist for such an encounter? Proponents of the theory point to two types of evidence: ancient religious texts and physical specimens; a few of these are listed below: Vimanas: Astronauts from other planets visited India during ancient times theorists suggest. They point to the similarities…

The moon is the brightest object in the night sky. On some nights, the moon looks like a shining circle of light. On others, it looks like a thin, silver fingernail. The moon does not make its own light. The light we see comes from the sun and bounces off the moon. If the moon and Earth were side by side, the moon would look like a tennis ball next to a basketball. It looks bigger than the stars and as large as the sun because it is closer to Earth than any other natural object in space. But…

Characteristics of Sun As matter of fact, our solar system is composed of the Sun and all things which orbit around it in the nature of the Earth, the other eight planets, asteroids, and also comets. Even though the sun is a normal star but it is much closer to us compared to any other star. By studying the sun, we do notonly acquire about stars and galaxies but in the end, we can also learn more about the universe. Another significance of learning more about the sun is we will apprehend more…

The connection between my article Mars, the red planet and The Martian by Andy Weir is that Mark Watney uses Mars’s two moons Phobos and Deimos to help him travel to the Pathfinder so he can communicate with NASA for help.When he travels at night he can’t see any of the landmarks like the craters to help him know the direction he is going so he uses Phobos and Deimos to help him travel. “Mars doesn’t have a magnetic field.So I navigate by Phobos. It whips around Mars so fast it actually rises…

Should Pluto be a dwarf planet or a planet? There has been lots of debate on whether it should be a dwarf planet or a planet. Their is not a big difference between the dwarf planets and the planets. The only difference between the two is that a dwarf planet has an orbit around it which is not cleared out and the orbit around a planet is cleared out. Pluto has been a dwarf planet since 2006. It turned into a dwarf planet because it is lacking certain details and the orbit around it was…

to make the cut to be a planet is orbiting around the sun, have enough a gravity to pull it into a sphere, and have cleared the neighborhood of your orbit, then wouldn't some dwarf planets out there be worthy of the title? Not by terms in today's science yet are dwarf planets like Eris, Pluto, and Ceres going to be considered planets. Though Pluto had a long run of seventy-six years as a planet its time came to an end almost ten years ago. I believe that…

benchmark of yet another view into space for mankind; after 15 years of searching for evidence, this day in 2015 was the day water was confirmed to be on Mars. "Mars is not the dry, arid planet that we thought of it in the past," says Jim Green from NASA, "Liquid water has been found on Mars." Dark streaks that marked the surface and slopes of Mars were further investigated and proven to be liquid water flowing down the planet's ridges. During warm seasons, these streaks darken even more…

People have got dreamed about going to Mars practically since it was discovered. In the foreseeable future, such mission is actually seems like real possibility. National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is taking the helm of one of the most significant human endeavors to explore Mars. Unlike the previous programs, Manned Mission to Mars is a one-way ticket. Scientific and technological challenges facing the mission to Mars have been identified as a result of strenuous scientific…

Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Pluto, Neptune, and Uranus. Scientists think Mars has the best chance of sustaining life. Scientists have done research as to if each planet in the Milky Way Galaxy can sustain life. What they found was that every single planet in the Milky Way Galaxy, besides Earth, cannot sustain life. All of the planets they have done research on have come back failing to show signs of life. Intelligent life does not exist outside of Earth because other planets are…
