ESS AS 3.6: The features of distant planets – how do we know? 1 INTRODUCTION Exoplanets, also referred to as extra solar planets, are planets which orbit around stars in planetary systems other than our own Solar System. The first exoplanet that was ever discovered was of PSR B1257+12 A in 1992, since then we have discovered approximately 1932 extra solar planets, 1222 planetary systems and 484 multiple planet systems. A wide range of techniques are used by astronomers to find exoplanets, most of

Liquid water is the most important factor for life, as we know it. Water is abundant in the galaxy, it is found in cold dense molecular stars as well as hot stellar atmospheres. Liquid water exists at a large range of pressures and temperature. Liquid water is the best solvent for life to emerge due to its large dipole, the ability to form hydrogen bonds, and to stabilize macro molecules. It is able to orient hydrophobic and hydrophilic molecules and is a strong polar and non-polar solvent. This

Having dreams of being on the moon, President John F. Kennedy approaches the podium on September 12th, 1962 at Rice University in Houston Texas to inspire others to have unimaginable dreams of their own. Kennedy produces a dramatically moving speech to create brilliance across America and for all of America, through his own dreams in the context of “The decision to go to the moon.” Around this time was the height of the cold war and just the start of the space race, with that said, he starts his

measurement to the nearest star. Other projects that emerged from South Africa space inquisitions were project Moonwatch which resulted in observations of satellite transits. South Africa collaborated with National Aeronautics Space Administration (NASA) in 1961 to establish deep space station 51 that provided ground support to Mariner IV (fly by to Venus), Pioneer 8 (interplanetary weather satellite) and analysis of soil samples returned by the Apollo satellite. Moreover, South Africa serves as the African

Johannes Kepler was one of the key figures in the Scientific Revolution. Despite him not as well-known as that of his predecessors, Kepler’s discoveries laid the foundation for future discoveries and advancements in the field of astronomy we have today. Kepler was born December 27, 1571 in a rather small, Catholic town in southern Germany called Weil der Stadt. Kepler was born as the eldest of three children who died in infancy. An early bout with smallpox, the same thing that had killed his siblings

Kennedy felt pressured and embarrassed that Russia

The mission was later completed by Mariner 2 that successfully flew to Venus to help in the collection of scientific data about the planet (Lieberman & Fry,
