discovered‚ the university of California at Berkeley put out this statement‚ “Marcy and Butler were the ones who last year confirmed the first discovery of a planet outside our solar system‚ 51 Pegasi. ‘After the discovery of 51 Peg everyone wondered if it was a freak‚ a one in a million observation‚’ Marcy said. ‘The answer is no. Planets aren’t rare after all. These new discoveries are important because they spawn a new subfield of astrophysics‚ the study of planetary systems‚’”(Sanders 2). With

always played an important part of ancient societies. Take the ancient Aztecs‚ Mayans‚ Babylonians‚ Greeks‚ or Egyptians for example. The Great Pyramids‚ the only remaining wonder of the ancient world‚ heavily rely on the positions of the Sun and planets in its design‚ while other aspects of astrology have been incorporated into the architecture. Another example of celestial bodies being incorporated into the architecture of ancient civilizations is El Castillo at Chichen Itza‚ an ancient Mayan society

The universe has been a mysterious place for thousands of years until more recently where the stars and planets were not being referred to as ‘gods’‚ but as large land masses and giant balls of gas all made up of millions of little

If you could stand at the surface of Mars’ equator‚ you would feel like it is summertime at the bottom part of your body and wintertime at the top part! This is so because the temperature at the upper part of your body can be 0°Celsius‚ while that in at your feet can be 21 degrees Celsius. When it is snowing‚ the snow can vaporize before it reaches the ground. The place is a desert but a cold‚ cold one. Mars has so many impact craters on its surface‚ the largest of which is the Borealis basin.

desert may appear to contain little other than red-dim shakes and sand. However‚ researchers are occupied with hunting here down pieces of information to life in a place it much looks like the Mars. This desert in northern Chile‚ similar to the red planet‚ is hot‚ dusty and to a great degree dry. However life exists here: modest green growth and microscopic organisms that have developed to get by in the dry earth on minimal more than daylight. When they have done it here‚ then why not on Mars‚ 225

aliens the letter was sent to live on a planet very similar to our own. So researchers believe. And this planet is actually not too far away‚ with respect to how big the universe is. The letter is very welcoming. And it even covers a few political and pop culture points our alien friends‚ or enemies‚ may enjoy. NASA not happy about the letter to aliens on Proxima b; will the space agency make contact too? Sending unsolicited space mail to aliens on a distant planet similar to ours may be frowned upon

answer for this question. Scientists have found many planets which have the potential to support life. However‚ it is the Earth’s neighbor‚ Mars‚ which has the biggest chance that life may exist on. In my opinion‚ I think we still have to go a long road to answer the question: “Is there life on Mars?” Mars is the fourth planet of the Solar System. It is the nearest planet to Earth. Therefore‚ there are many similarities between two planets. For example‚ according to BBC (n.d.)‚ Mars has the surface

practical life skills will be learned effectively when they are related to science‚ geography‚ history‚ music‚ or art. Children will learn about their planet Earth where they live through the sand paper globe‚ colored globe‚ and pictures. Also‚ they will know the beginning of the universe‚ the history of the solar system‚ and the names of planets. Children will go further to know about the continents and sing the song of continents. They will get exposed to different countries‚ different cultures

the Earth as the center of the planetary system‚ with the sun going around the Earth. Galileo believed the heliocentric model to be the true model. The heliocentric model‚ theorized by Copernicus‚ had the sun in the center of the system‚ with the planets going around the sun. Galileo taught himself how to grind lenses. He invented the telescope and improved it further on. With his improved telescope‚ he could see ships in the sea two hours away. His telescopes were then supplied to the navy. Galileo

We need to question everything. Questioning ideas and things we know as fact is how we learn and progress. Galileo Galilei‚ Johannes Kepler‚ and Isaac Newton understood this. Science had some answers for things‚ however since they questioned those things they were able to get to truth. Galileo was born in 1564. He was a professor of mathematics. It is a common misconception that Galileo invented the telescope. However‚ that is not true. Galileo was the first person to look at the sky through a telescope
