Extrasolar planet

Does life exist on other planets? There are many people who both believe in, and don’t believe in the existence of extraterrestrial life in the universe. While the people who don’t believe that life exists on other planets so have some decent arguments, the universe is so vast that it is possible there are other Earth-like planets capable of supporting life. It is highly probably due to the vastness of the universe and the many Earth-like planets we’ve already discovered that are possibly capable

As a member that is part of the UC’s Lick Observatory “Planet Hunter Team, I have found a possible planetary system that may contain a planet. From my further research, I discovered that the planet may support life, such as bacteria and plants. After confirming with the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence Institute about intelligent life, I eventually decided to want to discuss intelligent life through a scientific process. I will use the Drake Equation to give us the possibility that intelligent

is important because it helps us find other places in the universe that could be habitable, determine the potential for habitable planets beyond the solar system, and understand those planets that we can observe in the universe. Scientists have many ideas on how to recognize signs of life on other planets (Des Marais et al., 2008). NASA has done many missions to planets and moons in our solar system and beyond, searching for life. ASTROBIOLOGY According to the textbook Astro2, “Astrobiology

We live in a universe that is about 46 billion light years old. In a world, as massive as ours there must be some form of extraterrestrial life out in the galaxy. For thousands of years ancient peoples, such as the Greeks, have wondered the same question. Are we alone? As our technology advances, things such as videos and photographs are surfacing of people claiming to see such alien life. Whether it is an unidentified flying object, or if it’s from someone claiming to see an actual alien, there

astronaut when I grew up. It was just fascinating to me to go off and explore. From a young age, I knew the Universe was infinite but tapped into the basic human instinct to explore. I would play with models, and use computer programs to look at planets and stars. I was given a telescope when I was ten or eleven for Christmas and became even more entrenched with space. It was just always fascinating to me and to this day it still is. That’s why when NASA announced that they had found seven exoplanets

coincides an increased number of questions that need answers. Does other life exist? What do planets need to support life? Where do we go from here? Throughout this paper, I hope to answer these questions, or at least provide some evidence as to what we know so far. The focus will mainly be on the different types of habitable zones, what special resources and properties are required for a potentially habitable planet within one of these zones, and what this all means. Types Circumstellar Habitable Zone

president, I would bump up NASA's finances to help them find more planets in outer space. More money would allow NASA to try to find new species that have never been seen before. Also, if a new planet is found that could inhabit humans and other species, then maybe we could send criminals there. Then here on Earth, we would have a more peaceful life. NASA needs more money that can help pay for more useful and newer technology to find another planet. Bringing up NASA's budget could lead to marvelous studies

People started observing stars and needed a way to look closer. The telescope was invented and more and more discoveries were made. Questions were being answered but other questions arose. Could humans leave Earth’s atmosphere? Are there other planets like ours? Where are we in this universe? And are we alone? Questions were being asked. Some were answered and some were not. Time moved along and space exploration grew. People were experimenting and researching. Robert Goddard, being one

about 1,400 light years from Earth (4). Kepler-452b orbits a similar star as Earth, orbits in the habitable zone, and is only thought to be 1.6 times the size of Earth (4). It is also rocky. The planet meets all of the criteria to be life-friendly, giving believers in extraterrestrial life hope. Many other planets similar to Earth have been discovered (5). Another indicator of life in the universe can be found here at home. Extremophiles live in conditions that humans have previously thought to be uninhabitable

Many news of mysteries on our planet is still not yet clarified by experts to us. Some of this news are about how Earth was formed and others are nature related. But most of the unexplained news is about the "aliens". Questions of where aliens came from? Why they are visiting our planet? Will they invade us? Many conspiracy theorists say that they have proof that aliens do visit and live on our planet. Some of these proofs are the Madonna and Child painting, the Great Pyramid of Giza, the Nazca
