there alien life on Mars? This tired, old question has been thrown around every scientific circle one can imagine and it has certainly come a long way. It started out as a mere idea. Perhaps an inspiration for scientists to haplessly ponder upon or the idea for some Sci-Fi novel. Now, that question is too close to being answered. NASA has come so far and now, they are just a few strategic steps away to giving us the news we all want to hear. NASA KNOWS THAT LIFE ONCE EXISTED ON MARS What NASA does

Mercury: Surface Geology Mercury, the closest planet to the sun, is covered in craters, like, there are craters everywhere. There's also a lot of dust and boulders all over the place. In short, Mercury is like if you go fill an empty fish tank with rocks and sand, then dig some holes in there. Mercury has a magnetic field that's about 1/100th that of Earth's, it was discovered by Mariner 10, a Muggle space contraption. The field is generated from inside the planet, just like with Earth, as opposed

In the lab assignment this week, we were to choose two space missions to research. After exploring the two missions, we need to tell about what they did and what we have learned from them. There are so many missions that have given us great discoveries. However, after I looked into several of them I decided on the Kepler and Galileo missions. Both of these missions were extraordinary and gave astronomers many new insights into the universe we adore. First, we look at the Kepler Mission. Kepler spacecraft

Jupiter, 2. Saturn, 3. Neptune, 4.Uranus, 5. Earth, 6. Venus, 7. Mars, 8. Pluto and 9. Mercury. The solar system has a diameter of 17,900 million kms. The nine planets can be grouped into two groups: 1. Small but high density planets – Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars and 2. big but low

.At the Compton Verney Museum in Warwichshire, an exhibition is currently installed called ‘What the Folks Say’. Artists have been invited to choose a folk artefact(s) and position the piece with another artefact, in a way that they feel is appropriate to the subject, to enhance and illumine the quality of the artpiece, to give it further depth of meaning and to add another dimension to the looking experience. For instance, Sarah Woodfine positions a childs commode next to a painting of a child

of the planet Mars we have collected five real life hurdles that could be a threat to sustaining life on a planet other than earth. This group only contains two people. I Josh Watson, and my wife Lesley Watson. We have both teamed up and have done separate research on this topic and combined our information together to compare and contrast. The first major issue would be Terra forming. Terra forming literally means “Earth Shaping”. To colonize Mars we would need to terra form Mars into a planet

modern data on Mars, I attempted to outline the possibilities of colonization in my own perspective. One consideration is that not only is technology lifting mankind up into new heights, but we are on the verge of a new cooperation on a global scale. This cooperation that I am conveying is that world governments are now working together to eventually go to Mars. This exploration will be a culmination of data produced from the rovers that are currently sending data to us from Mars. (http://www.googleearth

humans), kills him. Carter inspects the body and finds a medallion which ultimately transports him to Mars, also known as Barsoon. Upon arriving on Mars, Carter finds that he has the ability to jump extraordinarily high and yields increased strength and speed due to the planets low gravity. Carter quickly becomes a prisoner shortly after to the Tharks (15 feet tall green martians), and discovers that Mars has been at war for thousands of years and is destroying the planet; the evil Zodangan led by Sab
