Mars was once able to sustain human life from research by rovers. A Rover is a space vehicle designed to move across the surface of a planet or other celestial body. The Rovers have found a lot of information about Mars. First, The Red Planet is more than likely to be the first planet, humans search on for extraterrestrial beings (Warmflash 6). This will help continue the research for life with humans being there, we could go out on searches with Rovers and know what we are looking for better.

Introduction Humanity has searched for life in our solar system and outside of it for years. Speculation supporting and against the probability of life on other planets has been a subject of debate in the scientific word and beyond. The probability of life mathematically is extremely low even when all the elements of life are present. Stages of evolution and development needed to create life take time. This time that it takes to develop is difficult to come by in the Universe according to some

A 21st Century Model Of The Sun The visible surface of the Sun is called the photosphere. This is the region of the Sun where energy produced in its core can finally escape the star, and fly off into space. It reaches a temperature of almost 6,000 degrees Kelvin, and gives the Sun its white/yellow appearance. | | | | | Perhaps the most familiar feature on the surface of the Sun are sunspots. These are relatively cooler regions on the surface of the Sun, where its magnetic field lines pierce

In June and July of 2003, two unique robot rovers were launched by NASA bound for Mars. The goal of NASA was to collect informations about our neighbour planet, the red planet called Mars. Previous expeditions of the last nearly 30 years have given us so much informations about Mars, but they have been fleeting visits and not enough data had been collected. But this mission would be different. The two rovers were expected to last 90 Martian days at best, but even after more than 1000 Martian days

I was impressed by how the artist personified each planet giving every planet a different tempo, instrument combination, and rhythm. My favorite songs were Mars and Mercury because Mars has faster tempo with strong horn and percussion sections and Mercury has an uplifting pace and pleasant string instruments. When I started listening to Mars I visualized an inter-galactic battle taking place with the song playing in the background. I didn't like Venus or Saturn all that well because of the somber

In the article” Cassini Seeks Insights to Life in Plumes of Enceladus, Saturn’s Icy Moon”, Dennis Overbye talks about the possibility of life on one of Saturn’s moons. He talks about how water is the key to life and this moon is full of ice so if the conditions were met there could be life on this moon. When one of these observational flights passed by Enceladus one time they saw tiger stripes near the south pole of Enceladus. These tiger stripes are cracks on the ice where water is squirting out

Scientists believe Mars was wetter and warmer in the past, so they believe there used to be life on Mars. Mars has polar ice caps, so scientists believe it has water beneath its surface. A heat source and water source are needed for life, and Mars at one time had both. Hydrothermal vents on Earth have an environment like no other. Organisms can survive in this environment without sunlight as an energy source. Many scientists believe these vents are where life on Earth originated. Mars has signs of past
