Billion Years Ago Carbon Dioxide
1,230 wordsOur understanding and our modern perception of our solar system, the Milky Way, has been drastically reshaped from the corresponding perception of only a few hundred years ago. Our Solar System, the Milky Way is probably about 4 - 5 billion years old. Only in the last 400 years or so have we realized that the earth is not the "center", and that in the Universe alone there is an immense 200 billion "Suns" in a galaxy like our own. Although the origin of the solar system is uncertain, most scienti...

Speed Of Light Square Kilometer
1,069 wordsDo you think its possible to find aliens in your lifetime? The chances that an extraterrestrial civilization would actually come to the Earth are slim. However, if they did the best way to find extraterrestrial life is not by space exploration, but by electronic signals. Signals can carry words, numbers, and pictures cheaply and at the speed of light. The amount of time and energy required for the travel would be enormous. The amount of energy required to accelerate a spacecraft weighing several...

These scientists have developed what we call today a space science or astronomy in general.

Big Bang Theory Force Of Gravity
1,630 wordsNot so much a theory of the universe as a simple picture of the planet we call home, the flat-earth model proposed that Earth? s surface was level. Although everyday experience makes this seem a reasonable assumption, direct observation of nature shows the real world isn? t that simple. For instance, when a sailing ship heads into port, the first part that becomes visible is the crow? s-nest, followed by the sails, and then the bow of the ship. If the Earth were flat, the entire ship would come ...

It is surprising, therefore, that this region was not documented until 1610 by a French lawyer named Nicholas-Claude Far de Peiresc. On March 4, 1769, Charles Messier inducted the Orion Nebula, M 42, into his list of stellar objects. Then, in 1771, Messier released his list of objects for its first publication i...
