Trapping Planets Holding Water

Scientists say it’s possible five Earth-sized planets orbiting Trappist-1, an ultra-cool dwarf star located 39 light years away, contain “significant amounts of water.” An international team of astronomers used the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) to measure the amount of ultraviolet (UV) radiation hitting all seven Trappist-1 exoplanets. The phenomenon is important because low-energy UV radiation…

EARTH, A PLANET? WHEN!?

    When the Earth was first proven as a planet cannot be set to one date. The Greeks in the 6th century BC had discussed how the Earth was a sphere, but how large? Eratosthenes in about 240 BC discovered that it was 250,000 stadia, or about 40,000 km (25,000 miles) by measuring shadows at noon in Syene and Alexandria. From the angle and distances, he used trigonometry to determine the size. It was speculated until the 7th century AD, when the flat earth theory finally disappeared. However, it took until Columbus in 1492 proved with hard evidence that the earth was round, and finally the way to India (the Philapines), by Magellan about 1521. Surprisingly, he knew that.

The Week quoted: ”President Bush calls for superiority over CH.I.K,s”

This is the a real quote, ”The country has found a new ‘Sputnik Moment’ ”. This was when the Cold War was in full swing.It was America vs the Soviet Union (that fell in 1994 from internal conflict) because they put up a satellite and we thought nukes were next. It seemed likely. Not so now, Nuclear Weapons are forbidden in Space, thank you presidents Reagan and Gorbachev. The shock, actual shock, of the US failling behind led to an all out effort to regain footing in ”the Space Race” against China (CH), India (I), and South Korea (K,s), ”CH.I.K,s”.

Actually America has 22 of the world’s top 30 universities and graduates more engineers per capita than India or China, and we will have resentment from third world countries like the Arabs or African nations that may be left behind.

Thankfully, someone thought of an answer, ”CoursEra”. Does ''CoursEra'' sound like ''Crimea'' that’s in the news lately? Is this a Cool War over future billions of third world nations? Interested? Contact “CoursEra”. CoursEra is a free university-scale online study ‘center’. You may get Princeton, Harvard, Yale or Stanford, P.H.Y.S.
