Seager Biography). In a search for her most recent papers, Sara Seager’s most current recent research revolves around the search for habitable planets. This seems to stem from Seager’s goal which she announced on her fortieth birthday. With the discovery of another Earth inevitably growing closer and closer, Seager wants to ensure the discovery this planet within her lifetime (Seager…
that the entire world lives on the planet Mars. “Mars is only about one-half the diameter on Earth, but both planets have roughly the same amount of dry land surface area, and both planets share some similar elements” according to phoenix.edu (2010). There are many similarities between both planets which are Earth and Mars such as the prospects for generating food, oxygen, and there are places that are appropriate for building. In addition, Mars is the best planet for living because of many…
of Earth. After reading the article I believe that Proxima B would be hazardous to the human population or kind. That planet is too far away from Earth so it would take awhile to land on the planet. I honestly believe the reason why we need another planet to live on is because we have ruined our own planet, and what if we do the same to the others. We have ruined our own planet from global warming, and we continue to do so. The problems we have now is because of our own decisions. If there was…
Mercury: Mercury is the first planet and the closest planet to the sun. It has a very thin atmosphere. It has a temperature range of 800 degrees Fahrenheit to -280 degrees Fahrenheit. In this passage, there will be many other facts about Mercury such as the characteristics of the planet and how it compares to our planet Earth. Mercury was not discovered by one single person. Since it was discovered before history was written. It is approximately 35.98 million miles away from the sun and has…

much of the star’s light was dimmed, astronomers can also indicate the approximate size of the planet’s radius. It can also tell astronomers what the atmosphere of an exoplanet consists of by looking at the light from the star passing through the planet from differing wavelengths. From here, one can accurately determine the gasses in the atmosphere. (The Planetary Society). Problems with the Transit method stem from the fact that it’s guidelines are very difficult…
Pennsylvania that goes at a speed of 0-50 miles per hour in three seconds. This roller coaster takes you through all eight planets going at an average speed of sixty miles per hour. Race Through Space starts by shooting you up a whopping 210-foot hill reaching the Sun at instantaneous speed before adventuring through the planets. These planets are created to appear like the actual planet. The moment before you dive into Mercury, potential energy is at its highest. Once you fall down the hill…
and Money Visiting Mars There is so much data out there in this world that leads humans to want to go to other planets. Not only want to, but eventually people may need to go to other planets and there is a chance that it could become a huge part of life and a huge step up from where humans are today. A new galaxy has been discovered called TRAPPIST-1 which has seven Earth like planets, three of them suitable for life. If humans could get to this galaxy which is only 39 light years away, it…
mapped the entire planet down to 1 km. These images brought a wealth of information and it soon become clear that Mars was indeed a complex planet. It was not, in fact, like the moon and merely composed of a crater strewn rocky surface. Mariner 9 revealed plains, canyons, drainage channels and even volcanos. Mariner 9 evoked such enthusiasm that plans were begun for Mars landers. VIKING TO MARS In 1976, Viking 1 and 2 landed on the Martian surface. Viking orbiters mapped the planet down to 100…
