Remember the space search I mentioned?<BR/><BR/>"Telescope blasts into space to find other Earths<BR/>Published: 3/7/09, 10:08 AM EDT<BR/>By MARCIA DUNN<BR/>CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) - NASA's planet-hunting telescope, Kepler, rocketed into space Friday night on a historic voyage to track down other Earths in a faraway patch of the Milky Way galaxy.<BR/><BR/>It's the first mission capable of answering the age-old question: Are other worlds like ours out there?<BR/><BR/>Kepler, named after the German 17th century astrophysicist, set off on its unprecedented mission at 10:49 p.m., thundering into a clear sky embellished by a waxing moon.<BR/><BR/>"It was just magnificent. It looked like a star was being formed in the sky," said Bill Borucki, Kepler's principal scientist. "Everybody was delighted, everybody was screaming, 'Go Kepler!'"<BR/><BR/><BR/>Kepler's mission will last at least 3 1/2 years and cost $600 million.<BR/><BR/>The goal is to find, if they exist, Earth-like planets circling stars in the so-called habitable zone - orbits where liquid water could be present on the surface of the planets. That would mean there are lots of places out there for life to evolve, Borucki said.<BR/><BR/>On the other hand, "if we don't find any, it really means Earths are very rare, we might be the only extant life and, in fact, that will be the end of 'Star Trek.' "<BR/><BR/>Once it's settled into an Earth-trailing orbit around the sun, Kepler will stare nonstop at 100,000 stars near the Cygnus and Lyra constellations, between 600 and 3,000 light years away. The telescope will watch for any dimming, or winks, in the stellar brightness that might be caused by orbiting planets.<BR/><BR/>Astronomers already have found more than 300 planets orbiting other stars, but they're largely inhospitable gas giants like Jupiter. Kepler will be looking for smaller rocky planets akin to Earth.<BR/><BR/>Kepler is designed to find hundreds of Earth-like planets if they're common and, perhaps, dozens of them in the habitable zone, Borucki said. The telescope is so powerful that from space, NASA maintains, it could detect someone in a small town turning off a porch light at night.<BR/><BR/>It won't be looking for signs of life, though. That's for future spacecraft.<BR/><BR/>NASA was counting on a successful launch to offset the loss last week of the space agency's Orbiting Carbon Observatory. That environmental satellite ended up crashing into the Antarctic because of rocket failure. It was a different type of rocket than the one used for Kepler.<BR/><BR/>Everything seemed to go well with Kepler's launch."<BR/><BR/><BR/>If he's out there we'll find him! <BR/><BR/>;)scooterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05490412151429369054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2960414577715729011.post-32253668629546164262009-03-06T14:45:00.000-05:002009-03-06T14:45:00.000-05:00Yeah, or if you replace the z in zoology with a "b...Yeah, or if you replace the z in zoology with a "b". :)<BR/>Just saying all science can be kind of spooky.<BR/><BR/>Yes, I have often thought it would be nice to visit his Sunday school class.

I HAD to have been traveling!<BR/><BR/>Scooter!<BR/>AHAAAAA! LOL<BR/>Where to begin?<BR/>I think it is very short sighted and bigoted of you people to exclude a demographic just because it occupies a location that soon may, or may not be in the ocean!<BR/>I'm feeling the urge to make signs stating "penguins are people too" and march back and forth in front of your place of worship. Where do you TVU go for that? <BR/>White MALE to join! UGHH! It's the Masons all over again! I can't get in anywhere! (... and yes, I know the Masons are not exclusive to white's, but that really doesn't help ME now does it?) :)<BR/>And ooooo, the Prof is gonna get ya for saying his blogs say white men are EVIL! Even if all of you are, the Prof would NEVER say it out loud on his blog!<BR/>I guess you can't even let me know when you find where Yeti originated. I'm not a member. I'll just have to take comfort in my constant nagging and demoralizing of your fellow members. :)<BR/>BTW, ya know it's really gonna be a good blog when it comes with a disclaimer!!!

Oh my, a very touchy subject for sure but I will share a little. ;) But only if you promise not to hold me to any info I share? You must also keep it secret?<BR/><BR/>:)<BR/><BR/><BR/>As for my church, I am a member of the TVU, short for Tunnel Vision Universal. We used to be named International instead of Universal, but seeing as how we've managed to subjugate the entire planet Earth, we felt we needed to stretch out a little. Let me back up a little here.....we did plan originally to go and take over Antartica but our scientists there said there were only a few penguins and lots of ice. Besides, they said the place keeps falling into the ocean.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, membership is very exclusive; you must be a white male to belong. As you no doubt have learned from reading the Prof's blog, white men are inherently EVIL. We are mostly born that way but some do manage to get through with maybe a fleck of goodness; usually caused by genetic mutation no doubt. We usually spot these types though. Eventually they can't help but commit an act kindness like giving a cookie to a kid or tending to a little old lady that needs help crossing the street. <BR/>However, we pride ourselves in being short-sighted and never consider others points of view. We also realize and admit that white man has never done anything of value while on the planet Earth and that we should be ridiculed continuously by any human form here not white male.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, we were figuring that since the Milky way is about 200,000 years across and contains anywhere between 200-400 billion stars, there's bound to be somebody we can take over. <BR/><BR/>We're also currently working to locate a planet where the Yeti could have originated. We know that one is among us because of the movie Star Wars.<BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/>Caprice, I hope this clears it all up? :)<BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/>disclaimer:<BR/>(no disrepect to honest research and/or ideas is meant by this post)scooterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05490412151429369054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2960414577715729011.post-53114986913371959812009-03-03T07:34:00.000-05:002009-03-03T07:34:00.000-05:00Oh Caprice you missed out on Evidence?!?!?!!!He fe...Oh Caprice you missed out on Evidence?!?!?!!!<BR/><BR/>He fell out of a truck on I-75 last year, he was between 2 to 3 months old. Between Butts county and Henry he was found munching on the side of the highway.<BR/><BR/>The police at first glance thought he was ok but just lose. As one officer got closer they saw he had been hit horribly, being a baby they were able to get him into a police car until someone could get a horse trailer and get him safely tucked away.<BR/><BR/>Noah's Ark hearing about him instantly claimed him and any bills that might come his way, he was sent to Veterinarians at Auburn University's vet school. Sadly they had never worked with a zebra and treated him as a horse, but he is fine now and living at Noah's Ark. Needless to say noone ever came forward and claimed Evidence, the reason behind his name is, while staying in touch with the police the people at Noah's Ark, everytime they called for updates the police still referred to him as Evidence because the case was sill open. <BR/><BR/>So Noah's Ark said the name stuck and was in way kind of perfect for him. Over time people helped donate for him so when he came home he had shelter and a travel camper, seeing as the one animal Noah's Ark never had was a zebra.
