Planets In A Solar System
734 wordsWhere the Planets Are In the beginning, the Earth was believed to be both flat and at the center of the universe. Then a sailor set sail to prove that the Earth is in fact round. Decades later science proved that the churches were wrong and in fact the Earth orbited around the Sun not the other way around. Now it is commonly known that the solar system that the human race lives in is just a small part of a much larger spinning body called a galaxy. Now science argues about whether or not Pluto i...

10 Trillion Stars With Earth Like Planets
1,838 wordsWhen considering the likeliness of life arising repeatedly throughout our universe, the first three terms of the Drake Equation immediately come to mind. Since life needs a place to arise, the availability of such places becomes one of the most important considerations. Even though the rate of star formation is currently not determined exactly, based on evidence, it could be estimated to be relatively high. In our own galaxy, star formation can be observed in the frontal areas of the spiraling a...

Orion Nebula
1,023 wordsThe Orion Nebula contains one of the brightest star clusters in the night sky. With a magnitude of 4, this nebula is easily visible from the Northern Hemisphere during the winter months. It is surprising, therefore, that this region was not documented until 1610 by a French lawyer named Nicholas-Claude Fabric 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 publicatio...

Planet Orbits Its Star
1,203 wordsIn the past 8 years, astronomers have discovered over 100 probable planets around other stars. According to the standard model of planet formation (pre-1996), many of these planets are too close to their stars to have formed in their present locations. This has lead to a few astronomers suggesting that these are not, in fact, planets at all. Rather, the scientists argue, these objects are really small stars. Because our most successful detection method only gives a lower limit on the object's ma...

1,999 words"To the Stars Through Difficulties" is the state motto of Kansas, the place where Clyde Tombaugh the discoverer of Pluto grew up.
