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

The Planet of Aliens An alien is what we know to be something that is not native to planet earth, also known as an extraterrestrial life form. Although I do not believe that the green, one-eyed, Hollywood-influenced alien exists, I do believe that there are living organisms on other planets in this universe. The universe is so large that it is next to impossible to be able to examine every aspect of it, as we are still discovering new species here on earth. I do not believe that Aliens have

to the planet Earth. It is located in about 500 light-years from Earth and sails through its habitable zone, resulting to potentially watery surface. The planet was put outside the edge of the habitable zone from the fact that in only gets about one-third of the energy from its star compared to Earth. Though researchers find a potentially habitable planet we still need to surmount the problem of getting there or surviving the trip. (Anonymous, 2007) stated that we still don’t have the idea on

I found it interesting to see how the author incorporated this real-life event that happened on October 30, 1938, where H.G Wells did a broadcast on the radio called, “War of the worlds” that caused chaos to break loose. It is important to note that this was just a skit and Martians had never touched earth, so the green person that Dona sees is really a normal New Yorker not an alien. Through the green person making a face when seeing the lentils, the author shows us that people are not willing to
