Science is a systematic enterprise that builds and organizes knowledge in the form of testable explanations and predictions about the universe.

1. 
 Earth science or Geoscience is an all
embracing term referring to the fields
of science dealing with planet Earth. It
can be considered to be a branch of
planetary science, but with a much
older history. There are both
reductionist and holistic approaches to
Earth sciences.
Earth-space science

2. 
 Any of several sciences, such
as geology, oceanography, and
meteorology, that study the
origin, composition, and
physical features of the Earth.
SPACE SCIENCE

Giant Magnetic Space Bubbles
 Nasa’s two Voyager probes
have found magnetic bubbles
in the region of the solar
system known as the
Heliosheath, 9 billion miles
away from Earth. In the 1950s,
scientist believed this region
of space was relatively
smooth. But when Voyager 1
entered the Heliosheath in
2007, and Voyager 2 got there
in 2008 they detected a
turbulence that is generated
by the Sun’s magnetic field,
that creates magnetic bubbles
up to 100 million miles wide.

Water Found on the Moon
 On Oct 9, 2009 Nasa’s LCROSS, or
Lunar Crater Observing and Sensing
Satellite struck water in a cold,
permanently dark crater at the south
pole of the moon. The LCROSS was a
Nasa probe designed to impact the
moon, while a small satellite
followed behind it measuring the
chemical makeup of the material that
was ejected. After a year of data
analysis, Nasa reported that it’s
mission found water ice in the floor
of the permanently-shadowed crater
it’s probe impacted. Later data from
three different spacecraft indicate a
thin film of water coats the surface of
the soil in at least some areas.

5. 
Eris
 In January 2005, Eris was
discovered, sparking a debate
among scientist about what the
definition of a planet really was.
Eris was originally deemed the
10th planet, but it and other
Kuiper and Asteroid Belt objects
were given the new class of
Dwarf Planet. Eris is beyond the
orbit of Pluto, and is roughly the
same size, although is was
originally thought to be larger
than Pluto. Eris has one known
moon, named Dysnomia. Eris
and Dysnomia are the most
distant known natural objects in
the Solar System.

6. 
Water Flow Patterns on Mars
 In 2011, Nasa released a statement,
along with photos, saying they have
evidence that there might be
“flowing water” on Mars. The time-
lapse shots appear to show liquid
running down the planet’s rocky
landscape to form long, dark flow
patterns. Scientists’ best guess is that
the flows are salty water, which
warms up just enough during the
planet’s summer months to melt and
slosh around on the surface. Signs
that Mars once had flowing water
have been seen before, but this is the
first time that such markings have
been observed changing over a short
period of time.

7. 
Extrasolar Planets
 The first Extrasolar Plants, or Exo
Planet, were discovered in 1992. The
discovery included several small
planets orbiting a Pulsar. It wasn’t
until 1995 when a giant planet was
found in a four-day orbit around the
nearby star 51 Pegasi. As of May
2012, a total of 770 confirmed
exoplanets are listed in the
Extrasolar Planets Encyclopaedia.
That count includes 614 planets in
planetary systems and 104 planets
within multiple planetary systems.
As of February 2012, NASA’s Kepler
mission had identified 2,321
unconfirmed planetary candidates
associated with 1,790 host stars.
