The possibility of life beyond Earth is a tantalizing idea long prompting our species to wonder if there are other worlds where life exists. As space technology advances, the chances of finding life on other planets are now greater than ever. With new technologies such as satellites and solar panels, scientists are able to expand their exploration farther into our solar system. In 1995, an astronomer named Michel Mayor together with Didier Queloz discovered 51 Pegasi b. This was truly an incredible discovery that rocked the science community. Pledges b, a wobbling star the size of our sun, was slowly approaching, and according to Mayor’s

"None of this was planned. The universe played a part in the whole thing, obviously. We just took our cues from the universe and kept moving on."

“It is possible that the plants and animals that he brings with him have caused the extinction of more species of life forms in the last four hundred years than the usual processes of evolution might kill off in a million.”

The author mentions that the oceans could all evaporate and the Earth probably couldn’t handle those conditions. This would lead to the release of hydrogen gases into outer space, losing a vital gas, and turning into our neighbor planet Venus. Although this is highly unlikely, many organisms cannot withstand such dramatic change over such a short time, the Earth would reach a point where only rats and cockroaches could survive in such conditions. Humans would even have a difficult time adapting as seen by the Mayans who died because of a minor setback on rain. The author believes that a lot of carbon will settle in the rock and be “a record, written in stone of a world changed by a single

Then red dwarf star that was discovered by Michal Gillion and his team with the spencer telescope. Once they discovered this star that is a lot small and colder than our sun, it allowed them to get a vision of the seven planets. The star is about 40 light years away. There are not 3 or four planets but there are 7 earth like planets.

On the contrary, opponents of NASA may speculate that overpopulation or ruining our planet will not occur, therefore the time, effort, and money spent on exploring Earth-like planets is useless. In actuality, overpopulation and the diminishing of Earth’s resources and health are working hand in

"The early universe, really early universe, before the time lords even. That's a generation 1 star!" he said pointing to the sun in the sky. "This is one of the first planets."

"All I need is the stars," Victor said. "And besides, you still think about things too much."

rubbed her eyes frantically trying to adjust to the bright light she'd be exposed to with absolutely no warning. She'd wondered

If other solar systems are anything like ours, they are bound to have many planets. Not all habitable, but planets none the

Shoemaker Levy 9. Nasa took on the task of seeking out what objects are near Earth.

Prof. Martin Collingwood is telling the men and women there that had volunteered to be a test subject for mankind. How their population has grown out of control and their environment is in ruins. They have exhausted resources, war has ravaged their planet & they were fighting over the scraps of what remains. He also told them that in ten years he estimated that half of the planet would/will be

Mars and Jupiter; which is believed to have formed when Planet X exploded. This belt holds

our solar system, but they are unimportant compared to the nine major planets. In this paper I will discuss the planets and how they are each unique.

"Who says it didn't? What I say is that a sun won't last forever. That's all I'm saying. We're safe for twenty billion years, but then what?" Lupov pointed a slightly shaky finger at the other. "And don't say we'll switch to another sun."
