Terrestrial planet

governments, including the United States government, spend billions of dollars on space programs to explore the solar system, the planet Mars in particular. As our earth develops into a planetary, polluted waste, Mars could eventually become our new home. Scientists believe Mars sustained or could sustain life, yet, they still can't uncover what lies beyond our planet. Perhaps Earthly humans aren't the only intellectual organisms that inhabit the universe. Most Christians believe that God…

life in the universe and if there are any other planets out there with the same conditions needed for life as on Earth. Kepler has been “specifically designed to survey our region of the Milky Way galaxy to discover hundreds of Earth-size and smaller planets in or near the habitable zone and determine the fraction of the hundreds of billions of stars in our galaxy that might have such planets.”(“Mission Overview | NASA”) Kepler is able to detect planets is by the transit method. This method has…

universe. Is it possible that there is life outside of earth? If so,how will try to get in contact with the extra terrestrial life ? Most important,will it change the way we live or where we live today or in the near future? We believe it's very possible that their is life outside of of earth. There have been many findings that helps contribute to what helps us sustain life on earth on other planets in our…

The Dawn Mission created an image of the Solar System completed by learning both distinct bodies with the same tools on the same spacecraft. In order for the Dawn to carry three science instruments data that will be used in combination to characterize the bodies. The data information that returned from the spacecraft could offer chances for information in our knowledge of how the Solar System shaped. The instruments that are involved are a visible camera, a visible and electromagnetic mapping…

After watching the "What You Aren't Being Told About Astronomy DVD" I choose to talk about Venus and the Moon. Venus, the hottest planet and scientifically the most similar to earth. Science used to call Venus "The Sister Planet" because it's made about the same stuff earth. The Evolutionary Model tells that Venus was formed by the same natural processes as the earth, at the same times, same place and from same materials. (Psarris, 2017) But in fact, Venus is very different from earth. Being in…

atmosphere. The existence of water is pivotal in the exploration of Mars, as it may hold vital information regarding the history of the planet. Scientists have implemented the ideology to ‘follow the water’, as the existence of water allows for life to grow, and more importantly, exist. This is reiterated in Rothschild and Mancinelli’s “observation that all terrestrial life requires liquid water during some phase of its life cycle (cited in Jones and Lineweaver 2010, p.349). NASA followed this…

Saturn is the sixth planet from the sun and the second largest planet in the solar system. Saturn is the farthest planet from Earth and not visible to the naked human eye, but it is through a telescope that the planet’s most outstanding features can be seen: Saturn’s rings. Although the other gas giants in the solar system, Jupiter, Uranus and Neptune, also have rings, those of Saturn are without a doubt the most extraordinary. Saturn is a gas giant made up of mostly hydrogen and helium gas,…

“Named for the Roman goddess of love and beauty, Venus is also the only planet that is named for a female.” ("Venus, Second Planet from the Sun, Brightest Planet in Solar System." Space.com. Web. 30 Apr. 2014) Venus has fewer impact craters than any other planet. Also unlike most planets, Venus turns clockwise on its axis, as opposed to counter-clockwise. This is called retrograde rotation. It is said that this is because of their close position to the Sun. Appearing to be a nice golden color,…

extra terrestrial. Some of the things found in our world history are way too advanced for ancient civilizations. This show went in depth on what ways the world to advance and theories on how the advanced works and technologies…

understand more than just our world, it allows humankind to learn about the infinite space Earth floats through. Earth will change and is changing, but the universe will be there forever. According the astronaut Michael Collins, if people “could see their planet from a distance of - 100,000 miles, their outlook would be fundamentally changed. That all-important border would be invisible, that noisy argument suddenly silenced” (Collins). Just seeing Earth from outer space helps people gain…
