Exoplanets definitivo (1)
An exoplanet is a planet that orbits a star other than the Sun. More than 1800 exoplanets have been discovered so far, mostly within the Milky Way. The habitability of exoplanets depends on factors like their location within the habitable zone of liquid water, and having an atmosphere that supports life. Exoplanets can be discovered through direct detection as they pass in front of their star, or indirectly by the gravitational effects on the star. Studying exoplanets helps understand the diversity of planets and could reveal if life exists elsewhere.

Now there are 88 constellations officially recognized by the International Astronomical Union.
The Hunt for Exoplanets
The curiosity to find earth-like planet can be dated to long time ago. But because of the incapability of the available technologies, it was a dream to detect planets beyond our solar system. After the time stated, the space research have taken a new leap and opened a new era of information. The concept of Exoplanet born. It can also be referred to as Extra Solar Planet. Any planet which is not within our solar system is Exoplanet. But an absolute definition is quite complex and problematic. So some of the important characteristics of an Exoplanet is it has to be earth-like environment, it can be giant or terrestrial type
Extrasolar planets
The document discusses exoplanet formation theory and detection methods. It reviews that planets likely form through core accretion, with cores forming more easily beyond the snow line. Migration may cause planets to move inward through the protoplanetary disk. Exoplanets are discovered using radial velocity, which detects planets via stellar wobble, transits, which finds planets as they pass in front of their star, and microlensing. Observations have revealed details about exoplanet compositions, atmospheres, and distributions around other stars.

THE EXOPLANET REVOLUTION
We are in the middle of one of the most exciting moments in history of Astronomy and maybe of mankind. Any minute we will discover our next home. Learn more about the Exoplanet Revolution in this presentation that includes spectacular pictures.
Origin of earth & universe
The document provides an overview of the course plan for geography which includes physical geography, Indian geography, world geography, and human geography. It then summarizes the origin of the universe, solar system, and earth. Key points include:
- The universe contains galaxies, stars, planets, and other matter and energy. A galaxy is a cluster of billions of stars.
- Our solar system revolves around the sun and contains 8 planets, over 160 natural satellites, asteroids, and other objects.
- Theories of the universe's origin include the nebular hypothesis, binary theory, and accretion theory for older theories, and the big bang theory and steady state theory for modern theories.
Astronomy comet ison
Comet ISON was discovered in 2012 by Russian astronomers using a telescope in Russia. As it gets closer to the sun, the comet will brighten and grow in size. When first sighted, Comet ISON was over 625 million miles from Earth and measured 18.8 on the magnitude scale, which is 100,000 times fainter than what the human eye can see.
Space
The document discusses several celestial bodies:
- Space is the three-dimensional extent in which objects exist and have position and direction. Modern physics views it as part of a four-dimensional spacetime continuum.
- The Sun is a nearly perfect sphere of hot plasma at the center of the solar system, producing most energy for life on Earth. It accounts for over 99% of the solar system's mass.
- The Moon is Earth's only natural satellite. On average it is about 384,400 km from Earth. It is thought to have formed from debris after a collision between Earth and a Mars-sized body.
ILOA Galaxy Forum USA 2013 - Mariska Kriek
This document discusses different types of galaxies including elliptical and spiral galaxies like the Milky Way and Andromeda. It asks how these different galaxy types formed and if they are connected. Specifically, it explores how distant compact galaxies have increased in size over billions of years and if "spirals and ellipticals" underwent a "metamorphosis" or transformation from one type to the other over the lifetime of the universe.
Space Junk
Unwanted junk accumulates in space from broken pieces of satellites, space probes, and other debris, forming a growing problem of space junk orbiting Earth. Over 9,000 pieces of space junk are the size of a tennis ball or larger, moving at speeds up to 36,000 km/hr. The issue of space junk was first discovered after the launch of Sputnik 1 in 1957, and it is estimated that over 4 million pounds of garbage circles our planet.
Exoplanets and extraterrestial life
This document discusses exoplanets and the search for extraterrestrial life. It describes how over 1800 exoplanets have been discovered orbiting stars other than the sun. It explains several methods used to detect exoplanets, including direct imaging, the transit method, astrometry, and radial velocity. It also discusses characteristics of potentially habitable exoplanets and provides details about Gliese 667 Cc, one of the most Earth-like exoplanets discovered. The document then reviews the history of exoplanet detection and outlines some of the earliest projects in the search for extraterrestrial intelligence, such as Projects Ozma and Phoenix.
Sect 10.1
Galileo and Copernicus observed that the Sun, not Earth, is at the center of the solar system. The Sun contains over 99% of the mass in the solar system and its huge gravity keeps the planets in orbit around it. Johannes Kepler discovered that planets move in ellipses, not perfect circles, around the Sun and that planets closer to the Sun move faster than those farther away.
Planets in thesolar system
There are 8 planets in our solar system. The inner planets are Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars which are rocky. The outer planets are Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune which are gas giants. The document describes each planet's characteristics like size, distance from the sun, moons, and orbital period.
Solar System
Earth science or Geoscience is an all-embracing term referring to the fields of science dealing with planet Earth. It is arguably a special branch of planetary science, though with a much older history. There are both reductionist and holistic approaches to Earth sciences. The formal discipline of Earth sciences may include the study of the atmosphere, hydrosphere, oceans and biosphere, as well as the solid earth. Typically, Earth scientists will use tools from physics, chemistry, biology, chronology, and mathematics to build a quantitative understanding of how the Earth system works, and how it evolved to its current state.

13 lecture outline
The document summarizes key points about detecting and characterizing exoplanets:
1) It is extremely challenging to detect exoplanets due to their faintness compared to host stars. Techniques like measuring stellar wobbles or brightness dips can reveal planets' presence and properties.
2) Exoplanets show huge diversity in traits like size, mass and orbits. Many have orbits closer to their star and larger masses than planets in our solar system.
3) Theories of planet formation need updating to explain unusual exoplanets. Effects like planetary migration and gravitational encounters may be more influential than originally believed.
4) Future observations by missions like Kepler will improve understanding by finding smaller, Earth-like exoplanets
13 lecture outline
Future observations will improve our understanding of extrasolar planetary systems in three key ways:
1) Transit missions like Kepler will find Earth-like planets by detecting the small brightness decreases caused when planets cross in front of their stars.
2) Astrometric missions such as GAIA will precisely measure the wobbles of stars caused by the gravitational tugs of orbiting Earth-mass planets.
3) Direct detection missions will use techniques like adaptive optics and starlight blocking to directly image Earth-like planets, which are currently too faint to see next to their bright host stars.
Other solar systems (12/16)
There are currently 424 known exoplanets orbiting stars other than the Sun. The first exoplanet was discovered in 1992 using pulsar timing and the first using the radial velocity method was 51 Pegasi b in 1995. There are several methods used to detect exoplanets including astrometry, radial velocity, microlensing, timing, and transit. The radial velocity method detects variations in a star's spectral lines caused by the star moving due to gravitational influences from planets. This allows scientists to calculate planetary properties. The transit method detects dips in a star's light curve when a planet passes in front of it, allowing the determination of planetary properties. As of December 2010, there were 510 known planetary systems using various detection methods.

It also discusses the different types of galaxies and useful orbits for satellites, such as polar and equatorial orbits which are used for weather, spy and communication satellites. The outcomes are to understand these concepts and the relative positions and motions of celestial bodies in our solar system and universe.
Geog210N12016Final.ppt
The document provides an overview of physical geography concepts including the solar system, shape and size of Earth, geographic grid system, latitude and longitude, seasons, and Earth's movements. Key points are that Earth is an oblate spheroid located within the solar system. The geographic grid system uses lines of latitude and longitude to locate places. Earth's rotation and revolution around the sun cause the four seasons and variations in daylight hours by latitude.

The document provides an overview of physical geography concepts related to Earth and its place in the solar system. It describes the key components of the solar system including the sun, 8 planets, asteroids, comets, and moons. It explains that Earth is the 3rd planet from the sun and has an oblate spheroid shape due to rotation. The document also summarizes how Eratosthenes calculated the circumference of Earth in the 2nd century BC by measuring the angle of sunlight in different locations.
Chapter 04 Lecture
The chapter summarizes the current understanding of the solar system: it consists of the Sun and everything that orbits it, including planets, asteroids, comets, and other smaller objects. Asteroids orbit mostly between Mars and Jupiter, while comets originate far away from the Sun. The major planets all orbit and rotate in the same direction. Nebular and condensation theories explain how the solar system formed from an initial cloud of gas and dust. Planets have also been discovered in other solar systems.
07 lecture outline
The document provides an overview of the solar system and spacecraft exploration. It describes the key features of the solar system, including that the large bodies orbit in the same direction and plane, there are two main types of planets, and there are swarms of smaller bodies like asteroids and comets. It also discusses how robotic spacecraft can operate via flybys, orbiting other worlds, landing on surfaces, and returning samples. The goal is to understand patterns in the solar system that provide clues to how it formed and how spacecraft reveal information about other planets and moons.
Introduction_to_Earth_Science_PPT.ppt
Earth science studies the planet Earth and its place in the universe. It is divided into four categories: geology, oceanography, meteorology, and astronomy. Earth consists of four major spheres: the hydrosphere, atmosphere, geosphere, and biosphere. The geosphere is divided into the core, mantle, and crust. Maps represent Earth's surface and help scientists locate areas using grids of latitude and longitude. Scientists use the scientific method, making hypotheses and analyzing data to understand the natural world.
Solar system and eclipse
The document provides an overview of the solar system, including:
- The solar system consists of the Sun and eight planets that orbit it, along with moons, asteroids, comets, and other objects.
- The planets can be divided into inner planets like Earth and Mars that are rocky, and outer gas giants like Jupiter and Saturn.
- Each planet has unique characteristics like Mercury's extreme temperatures or Jupiter's large moons. The document also discusses features of the Sun, Earth's moon, and other bodies in our solar system.
The solar system and the earth 2014
The document discusses the solar system and the Earth's movement. It begins by defining the universe and some of its main components like galaxies, stars, and planets. Our galaxy is the Milky Way, which has a spherical shape. The solar system is part of the Milky Way galaxy and includes the Sun and objects that revolve around it like planets, satellites, asteroids, comets, and meteorites. The Earth moves through both rotation, revolving on its axis every 24 hours, and revolution, revolving around the Sun in an elliptical orbit over the course of one year.
Arny chap07
The document provides an overview of the components and formation of the solar system. It discusses:
- The solar system formed from the collapse of a giant cloud of gas and dust around 4.5 billion years ago.
- The solar system consists of the Sun and objects that orbit it, including eight planets, over 100 moons, asteroids, comets, and other small bodies.
- There are two types of planets - terrestrial inner planets like Earth that are rocky, and gas giants like Jupiter that lack a solid surface. The solar system shows an underlying order in the dynamics and composition of its components.
