On the other hand‚ some astronomers defend Pluto’s planet status‚ citing several key features. Indeed‚ most of the problem is that there is no formal definition of a planet. Furthermore‚ it is very difficult to invent one that would allow the solar system to contain all nine planets. I suggest that for an object to be classified as a planet‚ it must embody three characteristics. It must be in orbit around a star (thus removing the larger satellites from contention)‚ it must be too small to generate

and find other worlds.The French satirist Cyrano de Bergerac in the 17th century wrote Histoire comique des états et empires de la lune (1656) and Histoire comique des états et empires du soleil (A Voyage to the Moon‚ 1662: With Some Account of the Solar World‚ 1754).

WHAT IF EARTH STOPS SPINNING? As we all know‚ planets spin. Our solar system was formed billions years ago from a spinning cloud of gas and dust. Nowadays‚ the Earth is turning at more than 16 hundreds kilometers an hour‚ bus it’s gradually slowing down about two seconds every one hundred thousand years. BUT WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF THAT SLOWDOWN SPEEDS UP? If the speed of rotation were reduced by about one kilometer per hour‚ traffic air would face serious consequences. Most commercial aircrafts

possibility that is already being weakly implemented today is asteroid mining. Just past Jupiter‚ there is a very large and possibly profitable asteroid belt. Some of these asteroids contain large amounts of silicone‚ which will bring the price of solar power down for earth if it can be effectively shuttled from the asteroid belt to earth. Some of these asteroids also contain both Gold and Platinum‚ both of which are very important for todays technology. (Kaufman) Space innovation will also bring

It’s density is too small for it to be considered a Terrestrial planet‚ but it also is made out of rock and ice (Kaitlin). To be a Jovian planet it would have to be made of of gas‚ so it was classified

generation to generation it would take roughly 600 generations of humans before they arrived based on today’s current life expectancy (3). This issue isn’t hugely significant as it isn’t currently considered feasible to send humans beyond the solar system. Perhaps in the future this will be more of an issue. In interstellar space‚ there isn’t really much of anything‚ and there’s a lot of interstellar space between things. However‚ once a vessel travelling at high speed (especially for a long time)
