Sub-Orbital Space Flights & Satellite Exploration
Northeastern hosts Boston-area students for the Bernard Harris Summer Science Program, a two-week camp focused on building science and math skills. To learn more about space travel, the campers built and launched bottle rockets.

Extraterrestrial life is defined as life that does not originate from Earth. It is unknown whether any such life exists, and all discussion of it must be regarded as highly speculative. Various claims have been made for evidence of its existence, such as those listed in a 2006 New Scientist article. However, the mainstream scientific community regards all such claims as unconvincing. A less direct argument for extraterrestrial life relies on the vast size of the observable universe. According to this argument, endorsed by Carl Sagan, it would be improbable for life not to exist somewhere other than Earth. The theorization of extraterrestrial life is known as astrobiology, exobiology, or xenobiology. One possibility is that life has emerged independently at many places throughout the universe. Another possibility is panspermia or exogenesis, in which life would have spread between habitable planets. These two hypotheses are not necessarily mutually exclusive. Possible forms of extraterrestrial life range from simple bacteria-like organisms to sapient beings far more advanced than humans. Suggested locations on which life might have developed, or which might continue to host life today, include the planets Venus and Mars, moons of Jupiter and Saturn (eg Europa, Enceladus and Titan) and Gliese 581 c and d, recently discovered to be near Earth-mass extrasolar planets apparently located in their star’s habitable zone, and with the potential to have liquid water. Beliefs that …

Hubblecast 29: Mission Accomplished – Healing Hubble. The fifth and final mission to the iconic Hubble Space Telescope was a long time coming. After a delay in the fall of 2008, spring brought new hope and, on 11 May, the seven Space Shuttle crew members headed for the mission of a lifetime. — Subscribe to Science & Reason: • www.YouTube.com • www.YouTube.com • www.YouTube.com — Credits: • ESA/Hubble (M.

*I have recently played this video for my science class. I’m glad I got the chance to present this. It was so exciting! This is completely different from my usual art. Well, I didn’t have Image Permission. However, I did give Nasa, JPL caltech, and Space Science Institute Credit for The Pictures. Anyways, This is a Tribute to Our Solar System. I love Space and The Planets and Moons. SUBSCRIBE!!!

On Tuesday 26 September 2006 the ATLAS Collaboration was honoured by a very special visit to the detector in the underground cavern by Professor Stephen Hawking, the famous cosmologist holding the post of Lucasian Professor of Mathematics at Cambridge University (position held by Isaac Newton in the 17th century). Professor Hawking was very keen to check for himself the status of the detector installation, and he admired, in particular, the spectacular TGC big muon wheel on side C. He was intrigued about the huge LHC interaction rate. He enquired about the differences between the SSC and the LHC, and was skeptical about the existence of the Higgs boson. He believes more in mini black holes. Hawking’s theory predicts spectacular events when black holes are produced. These mini black holes are expected to evaporate immediately by “Hawking radiation”.

The Universe: Jupiter – The Giant Planet: In Jupiter, we journey half a billion miles from the earths surface to a mini solar system of over 60 moons rotating around a powerful planet of gas. Its flowing colors and spots hold strange beauty, but contain violent storms and jet streams. Could this big, bright ball of turbulent weather have been the star of Bethlehem? Could one of its moons harbor life beneath its icy crust? Jupiter, the giant planet, is the king of many questions concerning our solar system and could possibly hold the answers.

Gabriel Audu Oyibo is a Nigerian mathematician who solved the Grand Unification Theory – popularly known as the “Theory of Everything” or “The Holy Grail of Mathematics and Physics”, in 1990, by discovering the GOD Almighty’s Grand Unified Theorem (GAGUT). In a simple language, GAGUT states that GOD or everything including the Unified Force Field or any fundamental force or particle interactions, is conserved within a transformation process over space and time, which cannot be disputed by ANY logical process. It is therefore the provable truth or theorem of everything which has no possibility of errors logically or geometrically. Any experiment which fails to verify the GAGUT equation is deemed to have been done incorrectly since GAGUT is a Theorem. These suggestions or conclusions are based on the reality that GAGUT is the theorem or a provable truth of everything that says everything is conserved within a transformation process over space and time. Some aspects of this theorem have been verified experimentally and extensively in the labs by a famous French alchemist and chemist named Antoine Laurent Lavoisier (1743-1794). Einstein through the E =Mc2 verified Gij,j=0. All other correct equations written by anyone are proven to have origins in and therefore also verify Gij,j=0. GAGUT also proved geometrically that Hydrogen, also called Africanium, is the only real element on the periodic table of “elements” while the remaining 117 previously called “elements” are nuclear …
