Terrestrial planet

warming to the extinction of many different species, the effects of a withering Earth are being observed firsthand. However, human beings are trying to slow down the deterioration of our planets health by doing things like recycling and creating biodegradable materials. Unfortunately, despite our efforts to save our planet, the eventual expansion into space will soon be necessary to ensure the survival of our species. With a deteriorating Earth, we must look to space for a new home. We need to conduct

it does not make the fact any less true. Nobody has ever seen an alien or an organism that has not originated from Earth, yet it does not make the prospect any less valid. Most citizens of Earth cannot imagine living anywhere else but on this blue planet, but that should not make the possibility of it any less real. Space, like the future, is always ahead of us, and no one can predict what it has in store for us or what ideas will be found. Outside of the Earth, life in the universe is not such an

of Americans throughout the nation that believe in life on other planets while only 35 percent reject the idea. Life on other planets exists. According to the article “Aliens among Us” by Paul, David extraterrestrial evidence has already been discovered such as different types of bacteria and even water. The article “Aliens among Us” is a credible source because it has many explanations and possibilities on how life on other planets can easily be real. Extraterrestrial life can be many things such

discover Earth-size planets in or near the habitable zone and determine how many of our galaxy’s billions of stars have such planets. Results from this mission will allow the placing of our solar system within the continuum of planetary systems in the galaxy. The scientific objective of the Kepler Mission is to explore the structure and diversity of planetary systems. This is achieved by surveying a large sample of stars to: 1) Determine the abundance of terrestrial and larger planets in or near the habitable

indicate that oil, the precious black gold, will run out as early as 2060 (Boss). Conditions will only get worse because of inevitable population growth as well; our planet will eventually run out of space. The Earth’s resources are not infinite, therefore as the fate of the human race is contemplated, the search for a new life supporting planet is the highest priority for space exploration. Currently, over 7 billion people populate the earth with an average population growth

been seeking to find an earth-like habitable planet. This search especially rose in importance in the 21st century when we were faced with intensifying problems of resource scarcity and environmental deterioration which directly influence our being on earth. In order to investigate regions in the Milky Way to discover Earth-sized exoplanets in and approximate to a habitable zone, NASA sent Kepler, a Discovery-class mission spacecraft to identify planets in the Habitable Zone of main sequence stars

system is special since it has seven planets that are very alike to our Earth. With the terrain being rocky and warm enough that it could support life on it. This discovery is the first time people have ever found that out that there are rocky planets that are orbiting a single star. Before we have the technology we have today, the only terrestrial planets we knew of being four planets. And we didn’t even know much about our solar system, other than our planet and some a few others, but as we reach

exoplanet can be defined as a planet that orbits a star outside the solar system. One of the many exoplanets that could possibly be habitable in the near future are far away. For example, Kepler-186 is around 500 light years aways to put that in perspective that is around 5,878,625,373,183.607731 Miles away. That is why we know so little about these planets that could support life on them. Starting off, what is some of the criteria that is needed to live on a planet. The University of Utah put it

Day 0: Pre-launch; Earth The moment humans have been waiting for for decades is finally here. The first manned flight to the planet Mars, the furthest terrestrial planet from the Sun. After a century of only dreaming, it has finally become a reality. So many years of planning went into making this first launch possible. Mars’ orbit is the most eccentric of any planet in the Solar System. At it’s fastest it moves at a speed of 26.50 km/s, slower than the Earth’s and at it’s point closest to Earth

demonstrate how Map Reduce in a distributed environment readily and easily allows us to take several measurements that describe the empirical data and to answer several questions like, for example, stars that are like our sun, and how many Earth-like planets have been observed. This project has been done as part of the coursework for the course Distributed Computing. After applying the Map Reduce and Hadoop techniques to the planetary database, and to the star database, we realize that bringing a large
