Titus FYS 1100 Final Essay: Drake Equation The Drake Equation is a theorized equation used to estimate the number of intelligent, radio-communicative life in the Milky Way galaxy. The Drake Equation was written in 1961 by Frank Drake soon before he was going to attend and present at the “search for extraterrestrial intelligence” meeting or SETI. Drake pointed an 85 foot telescope1 at nearby stars and hoped for a response (Scoles). There are eight different variables in the Drake Equation. Each variable

expected impact on the ratings of CBC's TV movie? The regression equation 5 is RATING= 12.82+1.899*FACT+0.7406*Stars+0.1862*Previous Ratings-0.2899*Competition-1.046*BBS+1.078*ABN-1.540*Oct+1.398*Dec-1.403*Apr-May+2.523*Mon+1.525*Sun Average Rating for CBC is given by substituting BBS=0 and ABN=0 in the above equation. Therefore, Average Rating for CBC = 12.82+1.899*FACT+0.7406*Stars+0.1862*Previous Ratings-0.2899*Competition-1.540*Oct+1.398*Dec-1.403*Apr-May+2.523*Mon+1.525*Sun If competition

The magnitude of a star is simply how bright the star is. The brightest stars were of first magnitude, however, the dullest were of sixth magnitude. The simple scale of magnitude was made popular by Ptolemy, but is thought to have started with Hipparchus. The scale is sometimes considered confusing since the brighter the star is, the smaller the magnitude it has. In 1856, Norman Robert Pogson determined the system of magnitude by specifying a first magnitude star as a star that is 100 times as bright

Star Girl was a play conveying the story of a young alien girl, Star Girl, Naomi Garay, and her encounter with an Earth family and with her family’s archenemy, Dr. Horribilis, Samantha Cox. Star Girl was directed by Jim Anderson and written by Janet Farr Swart. Although this play is aimed towards a younger audience, members of all age groups could learn a thing or two from this story. Star Girl consisted of a dynamic character set. Throughout the progression of the story, character after character

developments in the sky. The investigation of stargazing looks well past the scopes of our nearby planetary group, into our cosmic system, and into different worlds in the universe. Cosmology endeavors to answer the inquiries that identify with how planets, stars, heavenly bodies, and systems are conceived, how they develop, and how they work out to form what is called to be the “Universe.” Stargazing can enable us to comprehend our place in the universe and investigate the likelihood of life existing somewhere

“The Math Code: Numbers,” we start out in a creepy setting that immediately pulls the viewer in. Especially because this film is about numbers, the creepy settings gives the viewer a different impression. Professor Marcus de Sautoy explains how numbers represent the entire universe. In the film, viewers learn about many things. Marcus tells how numbers and ratios make up the Chartres Cathedral. He studies bugs that only hatch on prime number years, and teaches the viewers how numbers are involved in

(SETIWeb 2). It is designed to estimate the number of civilisations in the Milky Way that are capable of reaching out and communicating, therefore giving us an idea of the probability of finding intelligent life within our home galaxy. It consists of multiple variables, each carefully considering a factor that may play a role in the existence and development of extra-terrestrial life. Unfortunately, all variables are estimated, as we don’t have exact numbers to use. However, they are our best estimates

Here, we are trying to determine if a particular review has 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 stars. Our set of observations here is one long string in the form of a review. Since the Naive Bayes theorem requires discrete features, the easiest way to generate features from text is to split the text up into words. Each word in the review will then be a word that we can work with. So, to extract features from the review, we will split the review into words based on whitespace. Because of this extraction, the denominator

The Milky Way is the galaxy that contains our solar system. Its name “ Milky” was derived from its appearance as a dim glowing band arching across the night sky whose individual stars cannot be distinguished by the naked eye. The Milky Way is a barred spiral galaxy, which means it spiral out from the middle. The first and most obvious thing to talk about is how it was formed. It began as an oversized mass left behind after the big bang. The Big Bang theory is an effort to explain what happened

In the book Number the Stars, the author Lois Lowry tells a fictional story about a girl who lives in Denmark at the time of World War II, named Annemarie. The movie Miracle at Midnight, lightly based on Number the Stars, is very different. The characters in Miracle at Midnight are Elsa, Henrik, Mrs. Coster, and Mr. Coster. They live in the time of World War II. One day, the rabbi of a church warns the Jewish people that the Germans are coming to take them away. All of them try to hide except for
