Alien Land?
A unique land in Africa could hold extreme life forms. The land called Danakil doesn't look it belongs to Earth. The evaporating water makes colorful layers of volcanic minerals and salts, making the rocks look other worldly. The water it holds is deadly due to the volcanic gases, making it highly acidic. The air is filled with a toxic, yellow gas that would burn a person's airway and lungs if breathed in. This land is one of the most ungiving places on the planet.
Felipe George is the microbiologist that was the first, along with his team, to research life on Danakil. Danakil was deemed unlivable for humans and regular animals, but some odd creatures settled down there. The pond water goes into cracks in the ground, mixing
It's all fun and games until someone gets hurt, or killed. A flight instructor, of all people, and two students decided it would be a good idea to go on a spree of buzzing cars on the freeway during the night, while attempting to look like a UFO. Their luck eventually ran out, however, when they struck power lines stretching across the freeway during a night of UFO mischief.
What do you think we would do if someone from anther planet landed in the U.S and claimed it as his territory because he had discovered it? How would you feel about this?
In 1932 Forrest Mars went to England to begin his own business. He was inspired by his father that had his very own business going. Mars had copied another company. Mars began his product (M&M’S) at a factory in Newark, New Jersey in 1941. After M&M’S started going into business Bruce Murrie and him decided to get together and work. (Mental Floss)
A region in East Africa called Dankill looks like an Alien Land. The water looks very pretty with its emerald green color but it is highly acidic, with volcanic acids and would probably burn your skin if you were to swim in it. Extreme little microbes live in this type of water that is very hot and very acidic. All the very colorful rock that that have been eroded by the acidic water and it makes it turn yellow and makes it smell like stinky rotten egg gas.
On a dark winter night, a UFO landed on Earth. The UFO was filled with Martians. During the night, the Martians made their way to the White House. The Martians snuck into the White House and implanted a device in the President to allow them to control him with the sound of a whistle. When the President woke up the next morning, he suddenly heard a whistle and lost complete control. The Martians were able to make the President launch rockets, launch attacks on other countries, and to spread false information to the citizens. When the President regained control, he was confused by what had happened and why or how he completed these tasks. Every morning the President would get up and the Martians would take control of him again. Everyday they
Is our universe unique? From science fiction to science fact, there is a proposal out there that suggests that there could be other universes besides our own, where all the choices you made in this life played out in alternate realities. So, instead of turning down that job offer that took you from the United States to China, the alternate universe would show the outcome if you decided to venture to Asia instead.
The possibility of life outside of our own planet has been boggling the minds of the human race for more years than anyone can truly know, however in the summer of 1947 new information made these already known suspicions even more apparent. A leery encounter with what a local farmer would identify as a UFO would quickly arise complications with the government and mysterious men who would threaten his family if any knowledge of this got out. These men would later coin the name “The Men in Black” due to their odd task of making sure no extraterrestrial information reached the public. The importance of these unexplainable men and their habits come to the surface when you truly begin to realize
Companies such as Space Exploration Technologies offer NASA a cheaper, and overall better to reach Earth orbit and interplanetary space than any projects currently in development by NASA. When Elon Musk founded Space X, he wanted to radically change how rocket launches worked. He had the idea to recover the first stage of rockets, and then reuse them. He believed that this would allow him to offer launches at a considerably reduced cost when compared to non-reusable rockets. As it turns out, Musk was right. The current Falcon 9 version costs at lowest 49 million dollars to launch, a large decrease over the average NASA launch cost of 200 million dollars. (Falcon 9) The main reason that SpaceX is able to offer these low costs is due to their
Liquid water is the most important factor for life, as we know it. Water is abundant in the galaxy, it is found in cold dense molecular stars as well as hot stellar atmospheres. Liquid water exists at a large range of pressures and temperature.
For decades there has always been the world wide question, Do UFO’s and Aliens exists? That question has yet to be answered. Yukon, Canada has had multiple sighting around the same regional area. The reported size of the semi spherical UFO is over a mile in diameter, or bigger than a football stadium and light patterns that none of our aircrafts are seen to have. Only a handful of people have laid their eyes on the magnificent mystery in the sky. This case involves over 30 eyewitnesses and plenty of documentation of what appears to be a massive UFO that appeared over the Klondike Highway in the Yukon Territory of Canada on December 11th, 1996. The Mothership has been seen in 3 different areas around Yukon, Canada; Fox lake, Pelly Crossing,
Her whole life in concealed in a single expression. Never changing but always different. Her deep brown hair dirty and her skin dry from many days without any clean water. As she searches her hair breaks free of her safe haven encircling her courageous disguise. Only showing her strong character because weakness is not an option. Showing weakness will make her vulnerable, will make her a target, will make her flee out of fear. Her life is not something that anyone could imagine that anyone would believe. She may be young but she has experienced more than we will in our lifetime. When she shows strength she shows she is capable, she is willing to fight, she chooses life over death. Concentration set in her eyes. She will let nothing stand in
Do you know that reddish planet that you could see through a telescope in the sky? Well everyone knows that planet and the planet is mars. Mars is known as the red planet because of its reddish color. Also Mars was named after the ancient romans after their god of war mars. Mars is the ninth planets that makes up the solar system. Mars is known to be the fourth planet away from the sun. Earth is mars neighbor the third planet from the sun. Mars diameter is about 4,200 (6,790 kilometers). Mars makes a little more than half the size of the earth. The only planets smaller than mars is mercury and Pluto (dwarf planet). It takes mars 687 days to revolve around the sun. Mars also rotates once every twenty-four hours and thirty-seven minutes. Mars
NASA is one of the most important organizations in the World, as a part of the executive
Physical characteristics of the Mars is half the diameter of the Earth, less dense than Earth. Mars' rotational period is similar to the Earth rotation. Another interesting facts about Mars is that, it has two Moons which are Deimos and Phobos. Deimos and Phobos are small and irregular shape. Also, Mars have largest volcano and second highest known mountain and largest canyon in the Solar System. Largest volcano and highest mountain is Olympus Mons, it has a height of 25 km and it is three times as tall as Mount Everest. Largest canyon is Valles Marineris is more than 4000 km long , 200 km wide, and up to 7 km deep. It is located along the equator of the Mars. Second interesting facts about the Mars except the similarities to the Earth, is the findings on the
Viking 1 lander launched by NASA took the first picture of Mars on July 20, 1976. The picture has shown a strangely familiar, yet different enough to challenge scientists to figure out more about this planet. Mars, the Red Planet, attracts people since ancient times, the Greeks call it Ares. Mars has stayed in the human imagination until the rise of science and technology has discovered it. Mars appears in orange visually, and it is slightly more than half the size of Earth. Mars has about 15% of Earth’s volume and about 71% as dense as Earth. (NASA) The inner four planets – Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars – are made up mostly of iron and rock. Mars is composed of mostly iron-rich basaltic rock similar to Earth’s thin crust. (NASA) However,
