CASSINI'S NAVIGATES ICE PLUMES ON ENCELADUS Cassini spacecraft was set to fly through plumes of water on Saturn’s moon Enceladus on Wednesday, Oct. 28, 2015. Scientists recently discovered a salty ocean lying beneath the ice covering Enceladus similarly to one of Jupiter’s moon, Europa which is also believed to have a sub-ice ocean. The dive was designed to collect data about the mysterious subterranean salt water ocean on Enceladus. In this event, the craft will only be 30km on top of the surface

Mars Exploration Rover and Kepler Space Telescope May Prove Existence of Extraterrestrial Life On September 28, NASA’s mars exploration rover, Opportunity, made a ground-breaking discovery, finding evidence of water on Mars.

Introduction “Earth and Mars have a lot in common. They formed around the same time -- about 4.6 billion years ago -- and, as on Earth, a Martian day lasts about 24 hours (Ross, 2016, p.8). This is one of the many reasons why humans should colonize Mars. Humans should colonize Mars because it is the closest planet to Earth within the habitable zone, also with current technology it is the most feasible planet that is within reach of Earth. Colonizing Mars would help Earth with its problems with resources

Mars Since the beginning of time, people have looked at a red dot in the sky we call Mars. In the past few generations, humans have been learning more and more about this red dot, Mars.

They named it this because it reminded them of blood, and blood made them think of the roman god of war, Mars. Mars is the 4th planet from the sun, right after

The dust surrounding him was a swarm of disturbed bees. The spray of dirt and sand stung his eyes as he trudged through the empty District 6 from District 9. Charlie kept a wary eye on his surroundings, unsure of whether to call the silence peaceful, or suspicious. It felt so natural that he wanted to lie down right there, to rest after his long trek from the hideous “alien resettlement camp.” He spat angrily at the ground. What a load of talk. It was obviously a permanent, isolated residence for

“He’s stuck out there. He thinks he’s totally alone and that we all gave up on him.”(Weir 63) Andy Weir wrote The Martian, and the character Mark Watney has an interesting life.
