If Life is Found on Kepler 452-b, What Will God Say?

Kepler 452-b
The sweep of NASA Kepler mission’s search for small, habitable planets in the last six years. The first planet smaller than Earth, Kepler-20e, was discovered in December 2011 orbiting a Sun-like star slightly cooler and smaller than our sun every six days. But it is scorching hot and unable to maintain an atmosphere or a liquid water ocean. Kepler-22b was announced in the same month, as the first planet in the habitable zone of a sun-like star, but is more than twice the size of Earth and therefore unlikely to have a solid surface. Kepler-186f was discovered in April 2014 and is the first Earth-size planet found in the habitable zone of a small, cool M dwarf about half the size and mass of our sun. Kepler-452b is the first near-Earth-Size planet in the habitable zone of a star very similar to the sun. Credits: NASA Ames/W. Stenzel

Turtles are placed in danger because of the plastics.

This is my second time to visit a horror story that—as science fiction as it sounds—is reality. In a lively discussion in my google+ sci-fi community, a commenter argued that the Great Pacific Garbage Patch (GPGP) was a myth. That it didn’t exist. That we’d been lied to. I decided to investigate further. He cited […]

As Dawn orbits even closer, there are still no answers to Ceres' mysterious lights.

NASA’s space probe Dawn continues her journey to explore the dwarf planet Ceres.  As Dawn orbits even closer, scientists had hoped to have some definitive answers to the question: What are those strange lights reflecting from the planet’s surface? The Short of It  The first images captured by Dawn of the lights were taken from a distance […]
