What is out there after Neptune ?
At one point, Pluto was the mysterious Planet X. There are more candidates for the moniker though, even if they are Dwarf Planets and/or Trans-Neptunian Objects...
Science is the systematic study of the physical and natural world through observation and experimentation. In 2016, scientists Mike Brown and Konstantin Batygin at Caltech announced evidence for a potential giant planet in the outer solar system nicknamed "Planet Nine" estimated to be about 10 times Earth's mass and take between 10,000 to 20,000 years to orbit the sun, though it has yet to be directly observed. Some famous scientists include Albert Einstein, Isaac Newton, Louis Pasteur, Marie Curie, Aristotle, and Carl Linnaeus.

- China's Long March 5B rocket that launched the first module of China's space station, Tianhe, made an uncontrolled reentry over the weekend. Debris from the rocket landed near the Maldives in the Indian Ocean.
- The NASA administrator criticized China for not meeting guidelines regarding space debris from rocket stages. Uncontrolled reentries could endanger populated areas on Earth.
- Events like this highlight issues with how China plans and executes space missions, as large rocket stages are at risk of falling back to Earth in an uncontrolled manner.
NASA did land men on the moon during the Apollo 11 mission in 1969, as evidenced by the moon rocks and samples they collected and brought back to Earth. These samples have a chemical makeup that indicates they could only have been formed in the moon's environment with little water or oxygen. Conspiracy theorists claim the landing was faked, but photographs and film from the open media coverage show details like dust blowing and shadows that prove the footage was indeed captured on the lunar surface.

Scientists have been searching for exoplanets, or planets outside our solar system, since the 19th century. The goal is to find a planet that could support life, with factors like liquid water, a suitable atmosphere, and distance from its star to allow temperatures that could support ecosystems. Over 3000 exoplanets have been detected so far using transit and radial velocity methods. As Earth's population and resources are strained, the long term goal is to find another planet that could potentially support human habitation if Earth becomes uninhabitable due to environmental damage or other disasters.

Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) is a federally funded research and development center and NASA field center located in Pasadena, California, United States.
JPL is managed by the nearby California Institute of Technology (Caltech) for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. The laboratory's primary function is the construction and operation of robotic planetary spacecraft, though it also conducts Earth-orbit and astronomy missions. It is also responsible for operating NASA's Deep Space Network.
Among the laboratory's current major active projects are the Mars Science Laboratory mission (which includes the Curiosity rover), the Cassini–Huygens mission orbiting Saturn, the Mars Exploration Rovers (Spirit and Opportunity), the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, the Dawn mission to the dwarf planet Ceres and asteroid Vesta, the Juno spacecraft en route to Jupiter, the Gravity Recovery and Interior Laboratory (GRAIL) mission to the Moon, the Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array (NuSTAR) X-ray telescope, and the Spitzer Space Telescope.
The document provides a history of major events in space exploration from 1957 to 1998. It begins with the Soviet Union launching Sputnik 1 and Sputnik 2, carrying the first animal into space. The US launched its first satellites Explorer 1 and Vanguard 1 in response. NASA was formed in 1958 to lead US space initiatives. The space race then involved firsts such as putting humans into space and on the moon. International cooperation grew over time, culminating in the launch of the International Space Station module in 1998.
The Space Shuttle is a retired American spacecraft that launched numerous satellites, probes, and space stations. It is made of various parts, including ceramics. Ceramics are inorganic, non-metallic materials made by heating then cooling, including clay pottery and modern materials used in engineering. NASA oversees the US civilian space program and aeronautics research, having replaced NACA and launched missions to the moon and space shuttles.
New Horizon: The First Mission to the Pluto System and the Kuiper BeltSOCIEDAD JULIO GARAVITO
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.
1) The document discusses the connection between continental drift and plate tectonics, explaining that continental drift occurred as the single early continent of Pangea broke apart due to movements of tectonic plates.
2) NASA studies how continental drift may affect the future positioning of continents hundreds of millions of years from now.
3) Evidence for possible life on other planets includes extremophiles on Earth that thrive in extreme conditions, evidence that interstellar dust contains organic compounds and microbes, and indications that the Jupiter moons Europa and Callisto may harbor subsurface oceans.
Clyde Tombaugh discovered the planet Pluto in 1930 while working at Lowell Observatory in Flagstaff, Arizona. He began studying astronomy by sketching Jupiter and Mars from his homemade telescope in Kansas. After discovering Pluto, he attended the University of Kansas but was not allowed to take a beginning astronomy course due to his status as a planet discoverer. In 2006, Pluto was reclassified as a dwarf planet by the International Astronomical Union. Tombaugh's ashes were placed aboard the New Horizons spacecraft which is scheduled to reach Pluto in 2015.
This document provides a history of NASA and its public relations strategies. It discusses key events including the founding of NASA in 1958 in response to the Soviet Union launching Sputnik, the Apollo moon landing missions of the 1960s-70s, and the Space Shuttle program from 1981-2011. The document also examines NASA's public relations challenges during crises like the Apollo 1 and Challenger disasters, and how the agency's PR strategies have evolved from initial secrecy to more open communication and media engagement over time. NASA faces ongoing challenges to gain public support and funding as it works to develop new vehicles and pursue missions to Mars and beyond.

It will be built using the Tequila PHP framework and technologies like Subversion and ChartDirector. Future plans include further enhancing the system and Tequila framework.
This document discusses the exploration and discovery of planets, moons, and dwarf planets within our solar system. It describes findings such as the presence of liquid methane on Titan, Saturn's largest moon, and sedimentary rocks on Mars that indicate ancient water. It outlines plans for human colonization of Mars by 2027 through the Mars One program. Additionally, it provides details on dwarf planets such as Ceres, Haumea, Makemake, and Eris, and discusses the first exoplanet discovered in the habitable zone of a sun-like star, Kepler-22b.
This document summarizes the history of planetary classification in our solar system. It describes how ancient cultures knew of 5 planets and how discoveries in the 18th century expanded the solar system to include Uranus. Neptune was discovered in 1846 based on orbital anomalies. Pluto was discovered in 1930 and became the ninth planet. In 2006, the IAU defined planets and established a new category of "dwarf planets", reclassifying Pluto due to its small size and orbital properties. This reduced the number of planets from 9 to 8 and established 3 dwarf planets including Pluto, Ceres, and Eris.
This document provides an overview of exoplanets and their discovery. It discusses how the first exoplanet was discovered in 1995 using the radial velocity method by detecting wobbles in a star's movement. The Kepler Space Telescope, launched in 2009, significantly advanced exoplanet discovery through the transit method of detecting dips in starlight as planets pass in front. To date over 3,000 exoplanets have been confirmed across the galaxy, with an estimated trillion planets in the Milky Way alone, showing that small, Earth-sized planets are very common. Current telescopes continue working to find and characterize more exoplanets and their atmospheres.
New Horizons is a NASA spacecraft that was launched in 2006 as part of the New Frontiers program. It performed a flyby of Pluto in 2015, capturing the first close-up images of the dwarf planet. After completing its Pluto flyby, New Horizons maneuvered for a 2019 flyby of Kuiper belt object 2014 MU69, becoming the first mission to explore the Kuiper belt. The spacecraft continues to send back new data about its encounters, helping scientists learn more about the formation and geology of planetary bodies in the outer solar system.
Astronomy is the scientific study of celestial objects beyond Earth's atmosphere. It has split into observational and theoretical branches since the 20th century. Nicolaus Copernicus proposed a model with the Sun at the center in the 16th century, though planets still seemed to deviate from perfect circular orbits. Tycho Brahe made precise measurements, which Johannes Kepler used to discover the three laws of planetary motion, including that orbits are elliptical. Modern astronomy began with the Space Age in the 1950s with the launch of Sputnik and the space race between the USSR and US. Major events included Gagarin and Shepard's space flights and the Apollo moon landings. Theories of solar system and galaxy formation continue to be
The document discusses Pluto's reclassification from a planet to a dwarf planet by the International Astronomical Union (IAU) in 2006. It provides background on Pluto's discovery in 1930 and its initial classification as the ninth planet. It then explains that the IAU formed a committee to define what qualifies as a planet after struggling to do so. The committee established three criteria for planet status, and based on these criteria, Pluto did not clear its orbital path of other objects and was reclassified as a dwarf planet. The document supports the original hypothesis that classifications in science are continually evolving with new discoveries and information.
- The Galileo probe explored Jupiter and its moons from 1995-2003, discovering evidence of subsurface oceans on Europa and volcanic activity on Io. It was the first spacecraft to fly by an asteroid and discover a moon orbiting an asteroid.
- Col. Eileen Collins was the first female shuttle commander, commanding missions STS-93 in 1999 and STS-114 in 2005. She has logged over 872 hours in space.
- The Mars Pathfinder mission in 1997 proved that a rover could be placed on Mars cheaply, sending back over 17,000 photos and 15 chemical analyses before ending in 1997.
The document summarizes several major discoveries of the last decade across various fields:
1) In space exploration, satellites have mapped the Earth and exoplanets in high detail, and the first image of a black hole was captured in 2019.
2) Underwater exploration has continued to map ocean topography and discover new species, as well as historical sites like an underwater Italian village found in 2021.
3) Important biological breakthroughs include decreasing cancer mortality through precision medicine and immunotherapy, developing exoskeletons to help the disabled walk, and discovering mealworms' ability to break down plastics in 2015.
The Kuiper Belt is a disc-shaped region beyond Neptune that extends from 30 to 55 astronomical units from the Sun. It is populated with hundreds of thousands of icy objects larger than 100 km, including the dwarf planet Pluto. The discovery of the Kuiper Belt Object Eris in 1992, which is similar in size to Pluto, led astronomers to reclassify Pluto as a dwarf planet along with Eris. In 2015, NASA's New Horizons spacecraft became the first mission to explore Pluto up close, finding it to be a cold, icy world.
Georges Lemaître proposed the Big Bang theory in the 1920s to explain observations that galaxies were moving away from each other and the universe was expanding. His theory was initially rejected but gained acceptance in the 1950s as evidence accumulated. The Big Bang theory proposes the universe began in a hot, dense state and has been expanding and cooling ever since. Lemaître's theory is now central to modern cosmology and he is considered the father of the Big Bang theory, though his religious beliefs led him to advise against linking the theory directly to divine creation.
Humanity has long been fascinated by exploring space and discovering new worlds. Many key events in the early history of space exploration involved firsts in reaching Earth orbit and the Moon, including the first satellite Sputnik 1, first animal Laika and human Yuri Gagarin in space. Robotic exploration of Mars began in the 1960s and ongoing missions continue to provide more details about the planet's geology, climate and potential for past life. Future plans involve potential manned missions and colonization of Mars.
The document appears to be a collection of quiz questions on various topics including astronomy, history, mythology and science. It includes questions about the Pythagorean school of thought, messages stored in space probes, hypothesized stars, order of planets, Greek mythology, telescope mirrors, and discoveries in astronomy research.
Exoplanets for the Masses: Crowdsourcing the Search for New WorldsEpi Ludvik Nekaj 宇 赫
1) The document discusses how citizen science projects like Planet Hunters and Exoplanet Explorers have helped discover exoplanets by analyzing light curve data from NASA's Kepler and K2 missions.
2) The NASA TESS mission, launched in 2018, will provide light curves for over 20 million stars that will need analysis from citizen scientists through new crowdsourcing platforms.
3) Citizen science has proven highly impactful in exoplanet discovery so far and will continue to play an important role in analyzing the huge amount of data expected from NASA's TESS mission.
The document discusses the Big Bang theory and how it relates to both science and theology. It provides background on the development of the theory, including key discoveries and scientists like Einstein, Hubble, Gamow, and Lemaitre. It also discusses how the formation and conditions of the early universe allowed for the eventual emergence of life on Earth through natural chemical processes. The document concludes that science and faith are not in conflict but rather provide complementary visions of the world.
The document discusses exploring space through electromagnetic waves and telescopes on Earth and in space. It covers early space missions including Sputnik and missions to study planets. Current and future space missions are exploring Mars and building space stations for long term living in space through international cooperation.
NASA has a long legacy of space exploration including landing rovers on Mars, exploring planets like Jupiter and Saturn, and landing humans on the Moon. Some of NASA's most notable missions include Pioneer 10/11 which were the first to visit Jupiter and Saturn, Voyager 1/2 which made flybys of Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune, and WMAP which provided a more precise estimate of the age and composition of the universe. Other landmark missions include Spirit and Opportunity on Mars, Cassini-Huygens at Saturn, Chandra observing the universe in X-rays, Viking as the first successful Mars lander, and Hubble which has changed our understanding of the cosmos through its iconic images.
12 astronauts landed on the moon between 1969-1972 as part of the Apollo missions, including Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin in 1969 who were the first to walk on the moon. Animals like monkeys and dogs were early passengers in rockets and space flights during the 1950s and 1960s to test the effects of space travel. Rocket propellants undergo chemical reactions to produce thrust by ejecting hot gases. The Soviet Union's Luna 2 was the first man-made object to land on the moon in 1959.
Background
We can search for evidence of past, or even present, life forms within our own solar system, find
evidence of simple life on planets around other stars –- a planet where water could be present has
recently be found –- or even detect an intelligent signal from an alien civilization. The speaker was
a project scientist in the most sensitive search, Project Phoenix, ever undertaken. Sadly, no signals
were detected but a new 10 year search using two of the world’s largest radio telescopes is about
to begin and, during the next decade, a giant radio telescope, the Square Kilometer Array, will have
the sensitivity to detect alien signals from across the galaxy.
- The document discusses the history of planetary classification and discovery in our solar system. It describes how ancient cultures knew of 5 planets and how more were discovered over time, growing the solar system to 8 planets.
- In 2006, the IAU defined criteria for what qualifies as a planet, reclassifying Pluto as a "dwarf planet" since it did not meet the criteria of "clearing its orbit". This controversial move demoted Pluto from the 9th planet.
- The definition added two new dwarf planets, Ceres and Eris, and the solar system was now said to have 8 planets and 3 dwarf planets.
This document appears to be from a science quiz containing multiple choice and fill-in-the-blank questions about topics in astronomy, physics, and scientific history. It includes 4 rounds of questions with varying point values for correct or passed answers.
