Space exploration is one of the most interesting concepts since the knowledge of space. Humans have always wanted to know what lies beyond our planet and what the mysterious world “out there” has to offer. In 1959, mankind was able to partially accomplish this feat by crashing an object

This is the biggest orbiter sent into the atmosphere and is capable of doing a lot more than other orbiters. Furthermore, cameras from space crafts show chances of seasons changing on the planet and the variations in rocks and dirt. These cameras have not shown any creatures around, though. In the future, probes will be underneath the surface to find anything below the ground. Experiments were designed to discover tiny things living in the soil, for example bacteria. Due to evidence from experiments, scientists are realizing that life could have been present and there is a chance of humans from Earth surviving on the planet now.

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

Meanwhile, it was noted that: "There is a chance that the asteroid will be picked up by our asteroid search telescopes when it safely flies past us next month, providing us with data to more precisely define its orbit around the

NASA already has the foundation in place for an asteroid detection and tracking system. In 1998 NASA began the Near-Earth Object (NEO) Observation program with the objective to find 90% of NEOs larger than 1km in diameter1. Congress later set a greater goal for NASA in 2005 to discover 90% of objects as small as 140m4. The United States is actively working to get to discover the massive majority of asteroids larger than 140m as they are the most dangerous. After discovery the system tracks the asteroids to find the orbit to verify it will not intercept the Earth.

The remaining objects are all referred to as near Earth asteroids, and are classified as either Atens, with a semi-major axis less than 1 AU and an aphelion distance greater than 0.983 AU, Apollos, with a semi-major axis greater than 1 AU and a perihelion distance less than 1.017 AU, or Amors, with a semi-major axis greater than 1 AU and a perihelion distance between 1.017 AU and 1.3 AU (Dunbar, 2004). Dunbar (2004) also describes one final classification for near Earth asteroids, which are potentially hazardous asteroids, defined as having a minimum orbit intersection distance of 0.05 AU and having a minimum diameter of around 150m (Dunbar 2004). All of these classifications are necessary in order to look at the objects in our solar system, and to determine which objects pose a serious risk and need to be monitored, as well as objects which could become dangerous if their orbit is slightly changed by an unexpected collision or gravitational

Pluto was once known as smallest planet in our solar system and the ninth planet from the Sun, but was later reclassified as a dwarf planet (Smith, 2012). Even though it was demoted, Pluto is still an important part of our solar system. One reason for this is that it is considered a Trans-Neptunian Object, or TNO (Miles, 2010). This paper will explore the history of Pluto, along with its characteristics, atmospheric conditions, path of movement, and personality.

Within the limits of our existing technology, any practical search for distant intelligent life must necessarily be a search for manifestation of a distant technology. In each of the last four decadal reviews, the National Research Council has emphasized the relevance and importance of searching for evidence of the electromagnetic signature of distant places.

The question of whether life exists beyond our own planet Earth has intrigued humanity since the earliest of times. However, until the last half-century, mankind lacked any useful technology to even attempt to answer the question. Over the last 50 years the onset of advanced rocketry and guided space probes has changed our perspective about the possible existence of life elsewhere in our solar system. Thanks to the innovative exploratory work of advanced space probes, we now know that conditions on certain planetary satellites in our solar system could potentially support life. Such technology has so advanced our understanding of the prospect of life beyond earth that it has given rise to the field of astrobiology, which is an interdisciplinary field dedicated to the study of life elsewhere in the universe.

As humans reach out further into space, the realities associated with astronomical dangers emerge. Obvious dangers such as lack of oxygen or extreme temperatures can be relatively easy to overcome, while the subtle and less understood dangers require special

Far above the Earth’s surface, in the cold vacuum of space, a craft orbits the planet observing the life-forms that inhabit it. The craft is spherical in shape and silver in color, almost like a metal BB. The craft orbits above the Earth, undetectable by man-made machines. The object observes the dominant species transforming the planet for better and for worse; as well as intercepts

Dr. Samuel Miller, one of NASA’s best NEO (Near Earth Object) researchers called San Jose, California home. He resided there with his two daughters, Anna and Sophia, and worked at NASA’s San Jose research facility as a NEO specialist. Miller has discovered countless NEOs and tracked their potential threats to life on Earth. These asteroids or comets that are pushed into an orbit that has the potential to cross Earth’s cause small amounts of local damage approximately once every 20 years. Samuel is working to discover all of these NEOs, which can range in size from mere meters to several kilometers, to satisfy Congress’ mandate in 2005 to find 90 percent of all NEOs greater than 140 meters by 2020 [2], and to prevent further damage to Earth. In his 25 years working at NASA none of the NEOs that he has seen have been considered hazardous. That all changed, however, in Earth year 2018 when Miller made a shocking discovery.

In the 1900’s asteroids were referred to as “minor planets”. Around this time there were places in Berlin that would use available technology to compute the orbits of these asteroids. In 1957, scientists measured the very first cosmic ray exposure age of an asteroid (Gehrels, 1999). This is the time from which the asteroid breaks off from its place of origin to the time it reaches Earth.
