According to Acharya Shree, within the next 50 years, scientists will focus their attention in creating such technology to bring and sustain human life on the moon. With advanced technology for outer space travel projects, human, animal and plant life will be preserved. This video briefly explains how human life is created and preserved on planets among the galaxies.

Hail Science!! Celebrating 400 years since Galileo first peered into the milky dark with the 2009 International Year of Astronomy. With images from the Hubble and Spitzer Space Telescopes. Find free space images at nasaimages.org The Chromatics’ “Shoulders of Giants” free download and lyrics available at: www.astrocappella.com Music and Lyrics by Padi Boyd © 2008, The Johannes Kepler Project It was a calm and cloudless night but it was all still a blur A shaking of our Universe was just about to occur It was Summertime… 1609 when Galileo used his telescope for the very first time and he saw mountains and craters on the moon and a Milky Way with thousands of stars and he saw Jupiter, with four tiny moons he was the only man on Earth that night who knew That Copernicus was right come outside with me tonight and I can show you wonders of the world to surprise and delight I’ve got my telescope with me just wait until you see that on the Shoulders of Giants…. … we’ll see beyond! The world turns round and round now around 400 years have flown since Galileo’s telescope first focused the unknown Now we use bigger glass to peer into the past And we’re discovering the Universe’s secrets at last And there are geysers on Saturn’s icy moon and planets circling hundreds of stars while all the Universe expands like a balloon from Galileo’s tiny scope we’ve come so far Galileo was right when he looked out in the night and he discovered wonders of the world to surprise and delight I …

NASA Renames Observatory for Fermi, Reveals Entire Gamma-Ray Sky. NASA’s newest observatory, the Gamma-ray Large Area Space Telescope, or GLAST, has begun its mission of exploring the universe in high-energy gamma rays. The spacecraft and its revolutionary instruments passed their orbital checkout with flying colors. NASA announced today that GLAST has been renamed the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope. The new name honors Prof. Enrico Fermi (1901 – 1954), a pioneer in high-energy physics. “Enrico Fermi was the first person to suggest how cosmic particles could be accelerated to high speeds,” said Paul Hertz, chief scientist for NASA’s Science Mission Directorate at NASA Headquarters in Washington. “His theory provides the foundation for understanding the new phenomena his namesake telescope will discover.” Scientists expect Fermi will discover many new pulsars in our own galaxy, reveal powerful processes near supermassive black holes at the cores of thousands of active galaxies and enable a search for signs of new physical laws. For two months following the spacecraft’s June 11 launch, scientists tested and calibrated its two instruments, the Large Area Telescope (LAT) and the GLAST Burst Monitor (GBM). The LAT team today unveiled …

On March 31, 1989 headlines informed that Phobos 2, before losing contact, captured some strange photos of an unidentified object. Phobos 2 operated normally during its cruise phase, travelling the millions of miles from the Earth to Mars with no mechnical problems. It successfully gathered data about the Sun, Earth, Mars, and the interplanetary medium. On March 27, 1989, as it approached within 50 meters of the moon Phobos, it was set to drop a mobile “hopper” lander and a stationary platform. But just before doing so, contact was mysteriously lost.
