Life on Brown Dwarves

NASA has recently come across the coolest brown dwarves (failed stars) in the known universe. Could life exist on these barren bodies? Many brown dwarves are alone, not orbiting anything or recieving sunlight. They emit very little light themselves.

Kuiper Belt Life

The New Horizons space probe was launched a few years ago, and is headed to the outer limits of the solar system with the intent of studying icy bodies. How might places far from the sun, like Pluto and the Kuiper Belt, have life? Here on Earth, ther

Perspectives from Place in Space

Earth is in the 'habitable' zone of our solar system; where the sun's rays allow for us to be the perfect temperature, a gas giant is there to protect us from asteriods, and our moon allows for tides and fine-tuning of our planet's temperature. Scien

Could Human History be Lost?

We have sent messages into space for decades; if an alien responded to a message and visited an Earth devoid of Human life, would there be any evidence? Structures of stone would last a really long time. It has been shown that colonized areas with pl

If we find alien life on Titan as discussed in my previous post, where do we go from there? The Cassini spacecraft is observing the northern methane lakes, and will continue to view it. If we find life, we will probably first send another probe there

Titan: More Evidence for Life?

One of the most successful citizen-led science projects has been noticed by NASA; ZooUniverse has been involved in a wide range of astronomical studies, ranging from Supernovas to Hubble Images. Now view the moon, and aid scientists in studying crate

The 'Issues' Behind Not Exploring Space

Published on 2010-05-31 13:21:00

I found this cartoon, which in my view perfectly shows how politicians do not see the light of human advancement. From the space exploration that we have done, we have advanced tremendously and gained much insight. However, politicians are not allowi
