scientists have suggested that the planet Kepler-62f might be habitable for life. If that’s so‚ it could open up a legion of other theories suggesting life exists on other systems surrounding Earth. Judging by NASA’s history with lying‚ they very well could have known about aliens for years. Let’s hope they’re not dangerous.

NASA has identified many planets outside our solar system. According to the article “Out of this world‚” the organization has discovered over twelve hundred thousand exoplanets throughout the Milky Way Galaxy. The TedX video “Are we Alone” explained that there are millions of planets in our universe. Astronomers discovered these planets by measuring the brightness of distant stars over time. Moreover they measured the brightness using advanced telescopes such as the Kepler. If the brightness fluctuates

Uranus Uranus Uranus is the seventh planet from the Sun and has the third-largest planetary radius and fourth-largest planetary mass in the Solar System. Though it is visible to the naked eye like the five classical planets‚ it was never recognized as a planet by ancient observers because of its dimness and slow orbit. It was the first planet to be discovered in modern history. It was discovered in 1781 by Sir William Herschel (Encyclopedia: Uranus (planet)) and expanded the known boundaries of

There are three confirmed and two other possible planets that orbit Gliese 581. Each of these five planets are close to the star and have a circular orbit. The planets orbiting Gliese 581 were named in the order they were discovered and are named Gliese e‚ Gliese b‚ Gliese c‚ Gliese g‚ and Gliese d.

most of us think of eight planets orbiting around the sun. However‚ the solar system is a lot more complicated‚ larger and exciting than this simple description. The solar system is a gravitationally bound system with all the objects in this system revolving around the sun.
