the queen of water‚ whose life is water; It is scared of the touch and out of water it shall perish This is not just true for fish‚ but for any life on the earth. The biosphere with its fauna and flora owes its existence to water. In the solar system it is only our earth that is credited with water‚ that too just 1% of the entire water‚ that is potable. It is therefore a gift and a coincidence‚ too. Although water is regarded as one of the most important chemical compounds‚ yet the world is

Pluto system‚ the Pluto barycenter. The PKB mission is to carry out the first scientific reconnaissance of the Pluto system and accomplish the specified science objectives and goals through a close flyby of Pluto and Charon. The outer space beyond the orbit of Neptune is referred as the Kuiper Belt. It was named after Gerald Kuiper‚ who predicted in 1951‚ as a hypothesis‚ that the shortperiod comets originate from a collection of material left over from the formation of the solar system. Kuiper’s

rocks that fall into the earth. Most come from the asteroid belt between the planets Mars and Jupiter. Some are fragments of other planets. These “rocks” are predominantly composed of iron or nickel. They are thought to be remnants of our old Solar System‚ which drift in space until they collide or drift in a large gravitational body such as our planet. They burn up when they enter our atmosphere due to friction. Meteorites come in different sizes. Some can be as big as a car while others can

mass of the planet is much greater than of Earth’s. These different circumstances on Venus‚ are very hard for humans to adapt to coming from Earth. Since the atmospheric pressure is 92 times greater than earth‚ Venus is the hottest planet in our solar system‚ and Venus’ atmosphere is made up of Carbon Dioxide‚ I believe that we won’t be able to colonize on Venus‚ as shown in the setting of “All Summer in a Day” by Ray Bradbury.

The fact that this faint band of light is made up of stars in 1610 when Galileo Galilei used

next in this vicious cycle. III. We still don’t know exactly what happens to low mass stars when they die as the universe has not been around long enough for a low mass star to stop fusing hydrogen into helum. It is believed that a star with a solar mass of less than 0.5 will never be able to fuse helum even after the core stops hydrogen fusion. The star is not massive enough to exert pressure on its core. These are called red dwarfs. An example of a red dwarf is Proxima Centauri‚ which is shown

with us. Around January 1986 the Space Shuttle Challenger exploded during takeoff in front of the entire world. As a teenager‚ this event was tragic and amazing at the same time because I felt that we were on our way to discovering new planets‚ solar systems‚ and other life forms. This tragic event was the start of my interest in outer space. Fast forward to 2012‚ the science community has greatly advanced our technology since the mid-eighties. Today‚ we have computers in everything‚ all types of space
