Proxima Centauri Research Paper

We were interested because it has three planets that human can live. Three planets of TRAPPIST-1 system could have life. It could have a life because TRAPPIST-1 system has key of life. Key of life are liquid water and good temperature for life. It can be possible in future that human travel to TRAPPIST-1 system. TRAPPIST-1 system is close to us. Distance between TRAPPIST-1 system and us solar system about 40 light-years or 235 trillion miles. Technology of human develop very fast so in future human will make spaceship that can travel to TRAPPIST-1 system. This news was interesting and was surprising. It is important because if TRAPPIST-1 system has water that is key of life, it can have a life except human and animal in Earth. So earth will not a single planet that have a life in this

Uranus was discovered by William Herschel and is 2.877 billion km away from the sun.

This activity is about the main events in New Horizon’s journey to Pluto and beyond.

1. Explain what the sun is and how it differs from other stars we see in the sky.

- Discuss stellar evolution (describing each stage in brief). What forces are opposing one another throughout the life of a star and how do they influence the various stages in the life cycle of a star

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.

In this paper I will explain how astronomers determine the composition, temperature, speed, and rotation rate of distant objects using various methods. I will explain the properties of stars. I will also summarize the complete lifecycle of the Sun and determine where the Sun is currently in its lifecycle.

"We are 100 percent confident that this is the first object bigger than Pluto ever found in the outer solar

Pluto was discovered by a man named Clyde Tombaugh, an american astronomer. Pluto got its name by the Roman god of the underworld. Pluto has only 5 planets and is the second dwarf planet from the sun. They explored/visited in

Pluto was discovered by a young astronomer named Clyde W. Tombaugh about 85 years ago. Clyde discovered Pluto while looking for any moving objects on a blink comparator. A blink comparator is a machine that rapidly switched images back and forth to create the illusion of movement.

surface for all of the people to see. Proxima b a rocky planet orbiting Proxima Centauri

It is usually referred to as Earth’s sister planet due the their similar size and mass. Also the surface of the planet is obscured by clouds made up of sulfuric acid.

The topic of finding life on another planet, or seeing if we are the only ones in our Universe has been a mystery to us since the beginning of time. One of the closest findings NASA has found to this topic was exoplanets. Exoplanet is defined as a planet that orbits a star outside the solar system. NASA’s Kepler Space Telescope is the main telescope used to search for exoplanets that have similar features to Earth, and habitability on these exoplanets. NASA has found over 2,000 exoplanets so far, and out of those, there are only about eight exoplanets that seem to have a possibility on being a habitable exoplanets. Among these eight, Kepler 62f seems to be the most plausible.

Findings revealed that the system is located 39 light years from the solar system and is in the constellation of Aquarius. The system is formed of at least seven planets that orbit around a star that according to trappist.one is 12 times less massive than the Sun (“About Trappist-1 p.1”). Following findings made by the TRAPPIST, Spitzer space telescope, the Very Large Telescope, UKIRT, the Liverpool Telescope, and the William Herschel Telescope revealed new planets in the system and more facts about the composition of the planets. The discoveries made about the planets in the Trappist-1 system show surprising and promising aspects that might be promising evidence for a habitable

     Stars are a marvelous wonder to many people, that is why some people spend most of their lives wondering what is “above the world so high” (Gardner 98). These people study and map the little twinkling stars in order to get a better meaning of them; they are astronomers. Great astronomers like Edwin Hubble, Immanuel Kant, and William Huggins, never stopped valuing the beauty of the stars. While they developed great astronomical principals. One astronomer who fits this mold most is, Edwin Powell Hubble. Wondering about what was
