Asir Sinafe sat at his desk, looking over the reports of the new universe system his people, the Veltreni, had discovered. This new system had plenty of planets to evaluate for the next Culmination.
The Veltreni were the perfect civilization. They had spent their entire existence terraforming prime planets to plant their genetic code, expanding their lineage. Their genetic code always evolved differently on each planet, given to the planet’s conditions. The Veltreni carefully watched over each planet, making sure their genetic code evolved properly. Once the new civilization on the planet evolved to a certain point, the Veltreni would take best specimens to live as part of them.
Asir had been doing this purpose for as long as he could

Asir poured over the reports his second in command, Zilva Aleanrahel, had served him.
“Too many of these planets would need extensive terraforming,” Asir began. “The planets have extreme weather or temperatures or toxic rains. I’m not sure if the trouble would be worth it.”
“There are a few planets that have life on them already. We could plant our genetic code there. We’ve done it before,” Zilva said.
Zilva was correct about that. Asir pulled out the reports of the planets labeled 1E24B, 2M59A, and 3P16C.
1E24B and 2M59A seemed the most promising, with both having water, stable climate, and life forms. Planet 3P16C would need terraforming to adjust the extreme cold climate but there was definitely potential there.
“Which do you think would be the most logical choice, Zilva?” Asir asked as he transferred the reports to the screens in front of him for Zilva to mull over.
After a few moments, she pointed. “Planet 2M59A. It has water, stable climates, and the life forms are in their infancy. Our genetic code would have the best chance for

“Would it be possible for us to stop it?” Asir asked.
Zilva shook her head. “We could but there are other large meteors in the area. The impact of our firing could fling those rocks to the planet as well.”
“Calculate time to impact and all possible devastation scenarios. The hit could easily render that planet useless and I don’t want to waste my time if that is the case.”
Zilva immediately left without saying a single word.
She headed down the corridor to the observation room where a team was surveying the new universe as well as the other universes they had already culminated. There were always small new teams, usually consisted of 3-5 beings, being assigned planets to monitor.
Zilva knew she had to be quick and efficient with her task as any time, the meteor could destroy a very viable planet.
Zilva sharply turned another corner which immediately lead to the observation room. Upon entering, she noticed the team assigned to 1E24B were already calculating the meteor.
“What is the most likely outcome of 1E24B?”
“The meteor will hit land mass. It will cause a planet wide extinction. Nearly all of the current life forms will not survive.”
“But some
The possibility of life beyond Earth is a tantalizing idea long prompting our species to wonder if there are other worlds where life exists. As space technology advances, the chances of finding life on other planets are now greater than ever. With new technologies such as satellites and solar panels, scientists are able to expand their exploration farther into our solar system. In 1995, an astronomer named Michel Mayor together with Didier Queloz discovered 51 Pegasi b. This was truly an incredible discovery that rocked the science community. Pledges b, a wobbling star the size of our sun, was slowly approaching, and according to Mayor’s
"None of this was planned. The universe played a part in the whole thing, obviously. We just took our cues from the universe and kept moving on."
As Andrew Kuper, a Fellow of Trinity College of Cambridge and researcher of philosophy, politics, and the modern world, once said "Since the costs to ourselves may be significant, how much ought we to sacrifice?" (Kuper, 1). A direct correspondence of such can be seen in the work of Garrett Hardin, specifically "Lifeboat Ethics: The Case Against Helping The Poor," versus Peter Singer, author of "The Singer Solution To World Poverty," and Alan Durning, author of "Asking How Much Is Enough." Garret Hardin, a former professor and ecologist, argues that the wealthier nations of the world need to not allow themselves to get caught up in helping the
Then red dwarf star that was discovered by Michal Gillion and his team with the spencer telescope. Once they discovered this star that is a lot small and colder than our sun, it allowed them to get a vision of the seven planets. The star is about 40 light years away. There are not 3 or four planets but there are 7 earth like planets.
The author mentions that the oceans could all evaporate and the Earth probably couldn’t handle those conditions. This would lead to the release of hydrogen gases into outer space, losing a vital gas, and turning into our neighbor planet Venus. Although this is highly unlikely, many organisms cannot withstand such dramatic change over such a short time, the Earth would reach a point where only rats and cockroaches could survive in such conditions. Humans would even have a difficult time adapting as seen by the Mayans who died because of a minor setback on rain. The author believes that a lot of carbon will settle in the rock and be “a record, written in stone of a world changed by a single
Author John N. Oswalt begins The Bible Among the Myths: Unique Revelation or Just Ancient Literature? with a concise and well-written introduction that whets the reader’s appetite, compelling one to continue reading. He begins by informing the reader that his novel has been in the works dating all of the way back to the 1960s, when he attended the Asbury Theological Seminary. Oswalt quickly points out that one of the main points that the book will focus on is determining if “the religion of the Old Testament [is] essentially similar to, or essentially different from, the religions of its neighbors.”1 Oswalt is swift to acknowledge a major difference between the Old Testament and the religions of the Israelites Near
“It is possible that the plants and animals that he brings with him have caused the extinction of more species of life forms in the last four hundred years than the usual processes of evolution might kill off in a million.”
Shoemaker Levy 9. Nasa took on the task of seeking out what objects are near Earth.
On the contrary, opponents of NASA may speculate that overpopulation or ruining our planet will not occur, therefore the time, effort, and money spent on exploring Earth-like planets is useless. In actuality, overpopulation and the diminishing of Earth’s resources and health are working hand in
"The early universe, really early universe, before the time lords even. That's a generation 1 star!" he said pointing to the sun in the sky. "This is one of the first planets."
Prof. Martin Collingwood is telling the men and women there that had volunteered to be a test subject for mankind. How their population has grown out of control and their environment is in ruins. They have exhausted resources, war has ravaged their planet & they were fighting over the scraps of what remains. He also told them that in ten years he estimated that half of the planet would/will be
"Who says it didn't? What I say is that a sun won't last forever. That's all I'm saying. We're safe for twenty billion years, but then what?" Lupov pointed a slightly shaky finger at the other. "And don't say we'll switch to another sun."
There is no difference between the words "naked" and "nude", in my opinion the words are pretty much interchangeable. The only thing that is different is how one interprets the words. A "nude" or "naked" body can be represented in a variety of ways. Most people will use the word "naked" when referring to a body presented in an arousing or sexual way, "naked" has a raw connotation, whereas many people use the word "nude" when referring to a body presented in an artistic way, which focuses on the form and shape of the body. I believe that it is the presentation of the "naked" or "nude" body that makes the difference, not which word is chosen to describe it. For example, if a strip club uses the phrase "all nude dancers" one does not
In our solar system today there are over 30,000 asteroids flying around in all direction colliding with other asteroids and planets, without a care about the destruction they might convey. Our planet Earth is caught right in the middle of all of this action and is liable to entire extinction of any life forms on the planet if a large enough asteroid crosses its path. Any single asteroid has the possibility to erase thousands of years of history and wipeout the human race, as we know it.
Mercury which is the planet that is closest to the sun is the first planet I will discuss. Mercury is the smallest of the inner
