The S.E.T.I. Institute With there currently being an estimated amount of seventy-five billion tons of living things on this planet that we call Earth, there is a possibility that there are more living things out there in space, either in this galaxy, or in another. People like to refer to the beings that may or may not exist in space as “aliens.” This term does not fit the description well, because you can also refer to a person who is from a different country or nation as an alien. The term…

Space Shuttle The space missions by NASA involve the exploration of our space by pushing for more scientific and technical skills. It is indeed useful for us in addressing the fundamental concerns especially concerning the solar system. Through space missions, the exploration is expanded by using the technology. The missions are essential in integrating technology in form of robotic missions (Xu, & Kanade, 2010). For any successful endeavor as observed in the science center. The translunar space…

A Lack of this protective layer is a key factor in what may have caused the depletion of the atmosphere on Mars. Without protection, Mars’ atmosphere may have been stripped off from solar wind particles over the 4.5 billion years of its existence. Dr. Tamppari also talked about NASA’s thousands of detections of minerals. Certain locations have layers of minerals that required a lot of water, and show that the environment has transitioned…

William Herschel was a British scientist and astronomer who lived and studied during the late 18th century. He had a particular fascination with space and everything it contained, and he made it his goal to understand “the construction of the heavens”. The search for new astronomical objects during Herschel’s time was huge, and at one point during his studies, he began to become very intrigued by the discovery of nebulae. This interest of Herschel was partly due to the studies of another fellow…

answer to! Will they last millions of years? Billions of years? I’ll just have to wait and see… Although one planet was extremely fortunate, I cannot say the same for one of my other planets. An asteroid came and nearly obliterated a planet in my solar system. This saddens me greatly because this planet had an atmosphere, and great potential for life. This planet won’t be having life on it soon, although I am extremely grateful for the one planet that does have life on it. Year 4,278,289,073:…

If you ever happen to turn on The History Channel, you'll notice that the channel has gone from showing actual moments in history to hypothetical moments in history that probably never happened at all. Ancient Aliens is basically a show that shows people with little to no educational background in an subject close to Astronomy. For Example: That guy with the crazy hair, Giorgio A. Tsoukalos, is a 1998 graduate of Ithaca College in Ithaca, New York, with a bachelor's degree in sports information…

Composition of the universe; What it is made of? How is the solar system expanding? What is a black hole? How do planets form? All of these questions are pretty basic, but there is more to this universe, and how it formed, than you think. Scientists have been trying to find out the answers to all these questions, but it still is not enough for a good explanation. Without the understanding of all these questions, it is impossible to come to any firm conclusions about how the universe evolved. For…

The objects between 42 and 47 AU are in very stable orbits – not affected in any significant way by any of the planets. Like the “classical” planets, these objects are in nearly circular orbits, so were given the name “Classical KBOs” (CKBOs), by David Jewitt. Of the CKBOs, about one-third have a low orbital inclination of around 2o – these are the “Cold” CKBOs. The remaining two-thirds have a much higher inclination of up to 20o or more – the “Hot” CKBOs. Hot and cold do not have anything to do…

We can use BT with the invading UFOs. What’s the chance that an abducting UFO is from Zargon? (What is the chance that a UFO is from Zargon given that it abducts?) P(Zargon|Abduct) = P(Abduct|Zargon) x P(Zargon) P(Abduct) P(Zargon|Abduct) = 3 /8 x 8 /20 = 24/160 = 1 /2 6 /20 6 /20 This is the answer we’ve already seen. iv. -AT LEAST ONEWe flip three coins. What is the chance that any (at least one) of them lands Heads? We could solve this problem the way we’ve already done: count the outcomes…

Life, until now is known to be found only on earth. Although, life has travelled to space but it cannot survive there without the necessary induced conditions. Only lichen and mosses have survived the vacuum of space and UV radiations yet. Imagine if you could survive the space without these conditions! Tardigrade (Water Bear), a water dwelling, 8 legged, segmented micro-animal has survived the space without any protection. They are prevalent in mosses and lichen and have a lifespan of a year.…
