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.

The goals of InSight include determining the size of Mars' core, thickness of the crust, mantle composition, and rate of seismic and meteorite impacts. Studying other planets through seismology provides context for Earth and advances understanding of planetary formation processes.
Mars planet and exploration
As parts of the Earth were colonized there success sometimes depended on the raw materials that were available to support the colony.
This could be same for Mars. Materials could be mined from Mars to support the colony or to send back to Earth. Its close location to the asteroid belt could also allow mining of iron nickel meteorites which are abundantly found throughout the asteroid belt.
Mar Abstract final
The document discusses sending a rover to Mars to explore for signs of life and collect data. The rover would be equipped with artificial intelligence to sense its surroundings and adapt to atmospheric changes. While previous rovers have provided some data, none have found definitive evidence of life. New advances in technology allow for building a better rover that can gather more valuable information to improve understanding of Mars and seek natural resources or contact with inhabitants. Mars remains mysterious with opportunities to uncover its secrets.

NASA Artemis Mission Advances with SpaceX Starship Test Flight
NASA's aggressive Artemis program, pointed toward returning people to the Moon, has moved forward with the most recent practice run of SpaceX's Starship space apparatus. This achievement denotes a vital second in space investigation, as both government and confidential elements team up to push the limits of human spaceflight.
The Artemis program, named after the twin sister of Apollo in Greek folklore, tries to land the main lady and the following man on the lunar surface by the mid-2020s. It addresses an essential shift for NASA, moving towards economical lunar investigation with an eye towards inevitable ran missions to Mars.
SpaceX, drove by business person Elon Musk, has been a vital accomplice in NASA's Artemis program. The organization's Starship shuttle, intended for profound space missions, including lunar and Mars arrivals, is a focal part of NASA's lunar investigation plans. The new practice run, led at SpaceX's offices in Boca Chica, Texas, displayed the abilities of this imaginative shuttle.
The practice run, known as Starship Chronic Number 20 (SN20), exhibited the vehicle's climb, plunge, and landing abilities. Furnished with three Raptor motors, Starship climbed to a height of roughly 12.5 kilometers prior to executing a controlled drop and landing move. This effective flight test approved key advances and functional techniques urgent for future maintained missions to the Moon and then some.
NASA Manager Bill Nelson hailed the experimental drill as a critical achievement in the Artemis program, underscoring the significance of public-private organizations in propelling space investigation. "The progress of this practice run carries us one bit nearer to understanding our objective of returning people to the lunar surface and investigating new outskirts," said Nelson.

The last days of dawn spacecraft
NASA scientists say that we are about to loose our favourite Dawn spacecraft that has been studying the Asteroid Belt largest objects Ceres and Vesta for the past 11 years. In the next few weeks Dawn will run out of fuel needed to keep the spacecraft’s antennas pointed to the Earths and instruments to the target. When it happens, Dawn will not be able to do any more science or talk to the ground control. It will continue silently orbiting the dwarf planet Ceres for quite some time, possibly for the next twenty years.
Dawn at vesta_press_kit
The Dawn spacecraft will orbit the two largest objects in the asteroid belt, Vesta and Ceres, to study their composition and evolution. Vesta and Ceres are remnants of early planetary formation and comparing them can provide insights into how the solar system formed. Dawn carries instruments to obtain high-resolution images and perform spectral analysis of the objects. The data will help scientists understand conditions in the early solar system and the development of terrestrial planets like Earth.

Venus-PPT.pdf
Venus is the hottest planet in the solar system with an average surface temperature of 462°C due to its dense carbon dioxide atmosphere. It is similar in size to Earth but spins clockwise, opposite the direction of most planets. Early space probes helped discover conditions on Venus' surface, which is too hot for humans to explore directly. Later missions in the 20th century, like Magellan, mapped Venus' surface in detail using radar.
New Horizon: The First Mission to the Pluto System and the Kuiper Belt
The New Horizons mission launched in 2006 to conduct the first reconnaissance of the Pluto system and Kuiper Belt, sending a spacecraft on a long journey to answer questions about these distant bodies. It swung by Jupiter in 2007 for a gravity assist and will conduct a six-month study of Pluto starting in 2015, with closest approach on July 14th. If approved for an extended mission, it could explore one or two Kuiper Belt objects over a billion miles past Neptune to understand the origins and outskirts of the solar system. The mission seeks to determine where Pluto fits in compared to other solar system objects and to explore how ice dwarf planets and Kuiper Belt bodies have evolved.

The binding of cosmological structures by massless topological defects
Assuming spherical symmetry and weak field, it is shown that if one solves the Poisson equation or the Einstein field
equations sourced by a topological defect, i.e. a singularity of a very specific form, the result is a localized gravitational
field capable of driving flat rotation (i.e. Keplerian circular orbits at a constant speed for all radii) of test masses on a thin
spherical shell without any underlying mass. Moreover, a large-scale structure which exploits this solution by assembling
concentrically a number of such topological defects can establish a flat stellar or galactic rotation curve, and can also deflect
light in the same manner as an equipotential (isothermal) sphere. Thus, the need for dark matter or modified gravity theory is
mitigated, at least in part.

Authoring a personal GPT for your research and practice: How we created the Q...
Thematic analysis in qualitative research is a time-consuming and systematic task, typically done using teams. Team members must ground their activities on common understandings of the major concepts underlying the thematic analysis, and define criteria for its development. However, conceptual misunderstandings, equivocations, and lack of adherence to criteria are challenges to the quality and speed of this process. Given the distributed and uncertain nature of this process, we wondered if the tasks in thematic analysis could be supported by readily available artificial intelligence chatbots. Our early efforts point to potential benefits: not just saving time in the coding process but better adherence to criteria and grounding, by increasing triangulation between humans and artificial intelligence. This tutorial will provide a description and demonstration of the process we followed, as two academic researchers, to develop a custom ChatGPT to assist with qualitative coding in the thematic data analysis process of immersive learning accounts in a survey of the academic literature: QUAL-E Immersive Learning Thematic Analysis Helper. In the hands-on time, participants will try out QUAL-E and develop their ideas for their own qualitative coding ChatGPT. Participants that have the paid ChatGPT Plus subscription can create a draft of their assistants. The organizers will provide course materials and slide deck that participants will be able to utilize to continue development of their custom GPT. The paid subscription to ChatGPT Plus is not required to participate in this workshop, just for trying out personal GPTs during it.

Title: Gravitational wave detection with orbital motion of Moon and artificial
Abstract:
In this talk I will describe some recent ideas to find gravitational waves from supermassive black holes or of primordial origin by studying their secular effect on the orbital motion of the Moon or satellites that are laser ranged.The cost of acquiring information by natural selection
This is a short talk that I gave at the Banff International Research Station workshop on Modeling and Theory in Population Biology. The idea is to try to understand how the burden of natural selection relates to the amount of information that selection puts into the genome.
It's based on the first part of this research paper:

The debris of the ‘last major merger’ is dynamically young
The Milky Way’s (MW) inner stellar halo contains an [Fe/H]-rich component with highly eccentric orbits, often referred to as the
‘last major merger.’ Hypotheses for the origin of this component include Gaia-Sausage/Enceladus (GSE), where the progenitor
collided with the MW proto-disc 8–11 Gyr ago, and the Virgo Radial Merger (VRM), where the progenitor collided with the
MW disc within the last 3 Gyr. These two scenarios make different predictions about observable structure in local phase space,
because the morphology of debris depends on how long it has had to phase mix. The recently identified phase-space folds in Gaia
DR3 have positive caustic velocities, making them fundamentally different than the phase-mixed chevrons found in simulations
at late times. Roughly 20 per cent of the stars in the prograde local stellar halo are associated with the observed caustics. Based
on a simple phase-mixing model, the observed number of caustics are consistent with a merger that occurred 1–2 Gyr ago.
We also compare the observed phase-space distribution to FIRE-2 Latte simulations of GSE-like mergers, using a quantitative
measurement of phase mixing (2D causticality). The observed local phase-space distribution best matches the simulated data
1–2 Gyr after collision, and certainly not later than 3 Gyr. This is further evidence that the progenitor of the ‘last major merger’
did not collide with the MW proto-disc at early times, as is thought for the GSE, but instead collided with the MW disc within
the last few Gyr, consistent with the body of work surrounding the VRM.

Describing and Interpreting an Immersive Learning Case with the Immersion Cub...
Current descriptions of immersive learning cases are often difficult or impossible to compare. This is due to a myriad of different options on what details to include, which aspects are relevant, and on the descriptive approaches employed. Also, these aspects often combine very specific details with more general guidelines or indicate intents and rationales without clarifying their implementation. In this paper we provide a method to describe immersive learning cases that is structured to enable comparisons, yet flexible enough to allow researchers and practitioners to decide which aspects to include. This method leverages a taxonomy that classifies educational aspects at three levels (uses, practices, and strategies) and then utilizes two frameworks, the Immersive Learning Brain and the Immersion Cube, to enable a structured description and interpretation of immersive learning cases. The method is then demonstrated on a published immersive learning case on training for wind turbine maintenance using virtual reality. Applying the method results in a structured artifact, the Immersive Learning Case Sheet, that tags the case with its proximal uses, practices, and strategies, and refines the free text case description to ensure that matching details are included. This contribution is thus a case description method in support of future comparative research of immersive learning cases. We then discuss how the resulting description and interpretation can be leveraged to change immersion learning cases, by enriching them (considering low-effort changes or additions) or innovating (exploring more challenging avenues of transformation). The method holds significant promise to support better-grounded research in immersive learning.

NASA’s Dawn Spacecraft Nearing Orbit of Dwarf Planet Ceres
- 2. CEO Phil Monkress brings over 20 years of supervisory experience to All Points Logistics, a company that provides diverse services in engineering, program management, and information technology from its headquarters in Merritt Island, Florida. In October 2014, he led the company in signing an agreement with NASA, who selected All Points to manage its Solutions Enterprise Wide Procurement (SEWP) V contract. Phil Monkress also holds an interest in NASA activities outside his company’s professional obligations.
- 3. NASA recently announced the current position of its Dawn spacecraft, which launched in 2007 on a mission to observe and photograph the two largest bodies in the asteroid belt: Ceres and Vesta. According to NASA mission controllers, the spacecraft is entering the mission’s next phase, the Ceres approach phase. Currently, the team estimates the spacecraft to be 400,000 miles away from the dwarf planet and marks its speed at approximately 450 miles per hour. In its previous phase, mission controllers had limited communication with the Dawn craft due to its positioning in solar conjunction. During this time, the spacecraft was located on the opposite side of the sun, making transmissions between Earth and Dawn difficult.
- 4. Once Dawn reaches Ceres, it will become the first spacecraft to ever orbit two separate targets within the solar system. Before making its way to Ceres, Dawn visited the protoplanet Vesta from 2011 to 2012. Mission control calculations indicate the Dawn spacecraft will enter Ceres' orbit in March 2015 and will arrive on the dwarf planet on March 6. Principal investigator for the mission Christopher Russell hopes the mission will unlock many of Ceres’ secrets, as astronomists currently know very little about.
