Are the Stars We See Dead?

Mt Rainer
Milky Way, Mount Rainer. This photo was circulating on FaceBook with no photo credit. I love to know who to attribute this breathtaking shot to.

Fairly easy question. Appears to be some conflicting data out there. But as always, it’s necessary to ask the right question. So is my question: Are the stars we see dead? Or is my question: Are we looking at a star’s past when we search the skies for answers? Here’s what I found. Reality #1   […]

Earthwork 1
One of the enormous earthwork configurations photographed from space is known as the Ushtogaysky Square, named after the nearest village in Kazakhstan. Credit DigitalGlobe, via NASA.The length of the sides of the square 284 meters. Diagonal 406 meters. Discovered in March 2007.

You know how left-brained individuals always have reasons for the unexplainable? Like how crop circles are all hoaxes. Well, you logical souls, explain this.

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

This past week news buzzed with NASA’s announcement of the detection of another Earth-like planet—Kepler 452-b, not to be confused with the Kepler 186-f. Announcement of the Kepler 452-b discovery was made on July 23, 2015 and the planet is being called Earth 2.0.  NASA’s Kepler space telescope, launched March 7, 2009 with the mission to hunt for habitable planets, […]
