"Is there life on other planets?" Since the first famously documented UFO sighting in 1947‚ the idea of extra-terrestrial life has been debated almost non-stop. The subject has inspired many TV programs‚ such as The X-Files‚ and films (Mars Attacks‚ Independence Day‚ and the Men in Black films to name but a few). Scientists have come up with many new ideas and ways of trying to either prove or disprove the existence of life elsewhere. Mars is a very similar planet to earth in relation to size and

How was the Earth formed and why do we live in it is a question many of us would like to find out‚ but there are many answers to these questions and we cannot come up with a conclusion. The theory that is said to explain the formation of our earth is called the Big Bang Theory. This theory explains that

A Potentially Habitable Planet? A team of astronomers led by Steven Vogt of the University of California‚ and Paul Butler of the Carnegie Institution of Washington have found a rocky earth-sized planet that might be habitable (Haghighipour‚ Nader 2010). The new exoplanet called Gliese 581g orbits the red dwarf star Gliese 581 in the constellation Libra and it is the sixth planet that the astronomers have found around its star. Gliese 581g is about 20 light years away‚ which is roughly 117.5 trillion

Life on Other Planets Life on other planets‚ Is there another titan planet out there that harbors life? Scientist have found two such planets in a neighboring but distant Solar System. Which planets are habitable and is there already life there or basically in general‚ “Is there life in outer space?” That is the question and debate among astrologists and scientist alike about this discovery of two planets that orbit the red dwarf star of Gliese 581 (Gliese 581c.eu).

know that our solar system has a total of eight planets‚ after they decided Pluto wasn’t a planet it was then know to be a dwarf planet. What if there are other planets in our solar system? With advanced technology they did it‚ they found another planet that’s in our solar system‚ but it’s not proven yet. The high tech computers detect a planet but it has still not been seen by the human eye. So what this means is the the planet isn’t officially a planet until it has been seen by a human for it to be

system is a dwarf planet named Pluto. The existence of the unknown planet was first proposed by astronomer Percival Lowell in 1905‚ who thought that the wobbles in the orbit of Neptune and Uranus were probably caused by the gravitational pull of an unknown planet. After calculating the approximate location‚ he looked for more than a decade without any success. About 25 years later‚ it was discovered by an American astronomer named Clyde Tombaugh. The surface temperature of the planet is estimated to

EARTH As far as science knows the planet earth is unique in the entire universe. Certainly this is true in our own solar system. Earth is far better suited for life than any other planet‚ yet even here most of the environments are too hot‚ too cold‚ too far underground or too far above ground to support much life. In the many thousands of miles of changing environments from the center of the earth to the edge of its atmosphere‚ there are only a few meters of habitable environment for most life forms
