Nasa has just discovered a planet like Earth known as Kepler-186f, named after the telescope that found it, the Kepler. This discovery raises the possibility that a large number of planets like earth are waiting to be found, maybe much closer to Earth. One astronomer says that this is a tip of the iceberg discovery! Another says that it is a historic discovery of an Earth-like planet in a perfect spot around its star. Nasa says that future missions will study whether which planets are life…

back some samples of the land, and search for the possibility of life in depth. It only takes them a few days to reach the Mars using the Electro Magnetic Drive enabled spacecraft. Unfortunately, right after they land on Mars, an unpredicted extreme solar wind and coronal mass ejection also arrive, breaking the engine, the communication system, and several other machines. The survival situation has begun: Before repairing all the electronics, they must fix the force field generating machine…

The above diagram illustrates the volcanic activity on Venus, it indicates how activity this planet has been and still is. There is no evidence of plate tectonics on Venus along with no long linear volcano chains. There are also no clear subduction zones. Rifts are very common on Venus and they look much like the mid-ocean ridges on Earth. Volcanoes on Venus are much more regional and less organized then here on Earth. Volcanoes on Venus seem to have simple and fewer eruptive styles than the…

Narrowing Down A roofing Material? Why Choose Metal Have you ever looked around your neighborhood to see what kind of roofs are out there? While asphalt shingles are most likely dominating the neighborhood, you may see a few metal roofs out there. Metal can be a viable alternative to traditional shingles for the following reasons, so do not count it out so soon when narrowing down a roofing material. Life Expectancy The longevity of a roof will depend on several factors, such as the home’s…

Over time we’ve changed our minds about how the Earth came to be. Through the study of our planet and solar system we’ve widened our understanding of where we began. We went from thinking the Earth was the center of the universe to knowing for a fact that we are just a small spec in a huge ocean of planets and stars. After watching the documentary presented in class, the major theme I noticed was how over time and after years of research our ideas around how things worked and how they…

“Commander, we have a problem we're goin down”! Something has attacked from inside, the plant serum spilled and…” “Screech” This is the recording of inside the rocket challenger before its explosion. Tragically, about 31 years ago in 1986 the rocket challenger was launched purposely into space into space, along with it a slimy growth hormone for plants that were undergoing experiments, also a bird was taken to study the effects of space on animals. Later on that exploration the rocket was…

Oxygen has been found lingering in the upper atmosphere on Mars. So why doesn't life exist on the planet? Well for one, it's atomic oxygen. Perhaps one day aliens thrived on the red planet, prancing about in lush green fields with waterfalls of gold. As we know, that's far from the case now. So what happened? Until NASA gives us a logical answer, we might as well say the devil is responsible for the planet's destruction. NASA HOPES TO UNCOVER MARS HISTORY Atomic oxygen affects how gas can…

insufficient that there are some many unknowns out there. 2. Trappist-1 system Highlights: a recently found solar system located 40 light years away that house 7 earth-size planets,…

Heraclides Ponticus and Aristarchus of Samos: “We know that the Earth is (or is not) at rest because...” The two philosophers Heraclides Ponticus and Aristarchus of Samos lived back to back as Ponticus lived from 390 BC – 310 BC and Samos lived 310 BC – 230 BC. Samos was a radical believer in the heliocentric theory of the universe, while Ponticus believed in the geocentric model; however, he believed that the Earth rotated on its axis, but it is at rest otherwise. Should these men have ever…

Imagine a new home without risks. Also, imagine 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…
