More proof for
my scientific theories – that Ganymede use to be a planet:
If Ganymaede was orbiting the sun - it would be a planet - being larger than Mercury, but instead by it orbiting another planet becomes a moon - interesting thought though - this might be evidence further than Jupiter might be just a very small would have been star?
this is all taken from: http://education-portal.com/academy/lesson/jupiters-moon-ganymede-facts-diameter-quiz.html#lesson

"Ganymede's Characteristics
A moon is an object that orbits a planet or other large bodies in space. Ganymede, as mentioned in the introduction, orbits Jupiter, which is the largest planet in the solar system. It takes Ganymede approximate seven 'earth days' to orbit Jupiter. Ganymede's diameter is approximately 3,273 miles, which makes it also wider than Mercury, the closest planet to the sun. In terms of mass, this moon is also the largest, although it has less mass than most of the other planets in the solar system. Interestingly enough, it is large enough to see with the naked eye.Ganymede has an atmosphere (layer or layers of gases) that contains oxygen, ozone, and hydrogen. It also has a magnetosphere, which is an atmosphere that contains charged molecules controlled by a magnetic field. It is the only moon in the solar system to contain this arrangement.
Ganymede contains a core that is composed of iron, and this core is surrounded by a layer of ice and rock. The surface contains many craters, or deep depressions, and also has many intricate grooves that may have formed from shifting in the crust, or upper layer. Scientists also believe that Ganymede may contain saltwater ocean-like bodies beneath the surface above the core." - http://education-portal.com/academy/lesson/jupiters-moon-ganymede-facts-diameter-quiz.html#lesson

Dark energy and
dark matter – and there is only 1% of actual matter – most of it is
“nothingness” = I don’t know
Yes - one of those very disturbing bits of science that we really don't know what over 75% of the Universe is made of - but we do know it is there.
-
Will it be
possible for humans to live on other planets?
What do you think after this week? What would we need to do so?
-
All aliens will
be gold based life form quadruple D.N.A., awesome spaceships, homes, vehicles…. They are going to be awesome!!!
Life within our solar system will probably closely related - but that of planets etc in galaxies elsewhere - who knows!!!
-
Theory: the universe isn’t “expanding” - that the dark energy is pulling it apart
good way of describing it, depends on how you see it.
-
If there are
other universes
According to M theory and others - it sure is looking most likely
-
A LOT
o If the sun died – will it swallow Earth?
It won't "Swallow" it - but it will toast it to evaporate all of it's water - but - it will make the rest of the universe possibly a better place to be?
"the heating Sun will evaporate the Earth’s oceans away, and then solar radiation will blast away the hydrogen from the water. The Earth will never have oceans again. It will eventually become molten again.
One interesting side benefit for the Solar System. Even though the Earth, at a mere 1.5 astronomical units, will no longer be within the Sun’s habitable zone, much of the Solar System will be. The new habitable zone will stretch from 49.4 AU to 71.4 AU, well into the Kuiper Belt. The formerly icy worlds will melt, and liquid water will be present beyond the orbit of Pluto. Perhaps Eris will be the new homeworld."- http://www.universetoday.com/12648/will-earth-survive-when-the-sun-becomes-a-red-giant/

yes - that will happen, but we have billions upon billions of years before that happens. More Billions of years than the Earth has been alive so far.
Projects that would be fun & questions about the

Can we dress up like aliens?
Model of a ship to Mars –
what would that look like? – if I was designing it
VAcume cleaner as a black

OTHER IN CLASS QUESTIONS:
How did people come up with the idea that worm-holes could transport you across time?
How did people come up with the idea that worm-holes could transport you across time?
My guess is when people were able to imagine space time like fabric - our first association other than cloths and wearing it is the holes we can get in it - and if there is a hole in space / time - where does it go to? Much like a black hole - which definitely this concept gained speed when blackholes were confirmed "where do they go?"
many people want to know where stuff goes in a black hole... many many different theories that i can't even begin to start warping into something useful check out the videos for starters and NASA's sight: http://imagine.gsfc.nasa.gov/docs/science/know_l2/black_holes.html
How many Universes are there?
ooooohh - are there videos:
Is there an end to the Universe? Is the end of the universe a giant wall of Black holes?
Great question!!! - possibly.
right now our scientists are so consumed about asking "what came before" - what comes next is completely out of the spectrum.... like politics and life... we forget to look forward rather than driving through the rear-view mirror. I suggest that this is an area you look into. Not enough work is being done here for sure because it does involve a lot of guess work - and to do that - you have to be bold.
How big can a black hole get?
I don't know. I know they can only eat what is within instant reach - not a super-sucking machine - and i do understand that they can get "full" more or less.
i'm not certain, but here are some links:

VISUALIZING THE UNIVERSE
By Abbi
Allan. © 2004, 2012
Close your eyes.
We are starting here at home, on Earth. To take this trip into the universe, we are
going to have to travel extremely fast. Even if we were traveling the speed of
light, 186,281 miles per second, turning ourselves into energy, it would still
take us far more time than we have. It
would be billions of lifetimes over.
Sure, it would be fast
locally. We could go from New York to
London in a tenth of a second. It would
only take us less than a second and a half to get to the moon, and only 8
minutes, 30 seconds to make it to the sun.
It’s fast relative to our solar system, but even at the speed of light,
it would take us 4 years and 2 months to reach the closest star within our own
galaxy! And that’s just on the same
block! We are going to go far further
than that.
People are
just one of billions of different life forms on earth. Our rich diversity comes from all the
different solutions to all the different environmental conditions we have on
Earth. Deep-sea vents where the animals
live off sulfur, parasites in an acidic stomach, bacteria in the artic, and
birds in paradise. There isn’t a place
on earth that doesn’t house some sort of life.
Think of all the different plants and animals that have long come and
gone, now extinct. Most of them looked
like they came from another planet! I’m
sure the dinosaur would say the same thing about us if they could.
Now we are going to leave
Earth.
Our planet is just one of 8
planets, if you don’t count planetoids, (and if you do possibly ten or more)
some with Many moons, and some with none, orbiting our only star, the sun,
within our solar system. Approximately 2 light years across. Our Sun is barely notable. It may be special to us, but is only one of
200 to 400 billion stars within our galaxy, the Milky Way. Think of all the
possible planets there might be surrounding those stars? Think of all the variety we see within our
own solar system? Just about anything
you could possibly imagine might possibly exist. Imagine each star as a house on your
block. That would be A LOT of houses!
The Milky Way is beautiful. One of the few spiral galaxies other
there. It looks like a swirly
Frisbee. In the center are all the older
stars, 6,000 light years thick worth of them and at the center, a Supermassive Black
hole! Their heavy mass helps pull the
arms around them. These arms hold the
birthplaces of our galaxy’s newest stars that shine brighter than those in the
center. The Milky Way is a mere 120,000
light years across, and 2,000 light years deep.
Our galaxy is one of 30 or so
other galaxies within our local group.
It is like our celestial neighborhood.
Lucky for us, we are one of the three largest of these galaxies, so a
lot of the little ones orbit around us.
This is because our mass is so great that we are actually denting the
fabric of space, pulling the little ones in!
We can look over and see another
cluster of galaxies far away. It is the
Virgo Cluster, 50 million light years away to be exact. If you lived to be 100, you would have to
live five hundred thousand times to reach it!
(And that’s at the speed of light!)
This cluster holds over 2000 galaxies, and with all of those stars, it
is just breathtaking. A treasure chest
in the sky.
It doesn’t stop there. That Virgo cluster, and ourselves and
surrounding neighborhoods all are part of a Super Cluster, holding a dozen or
so more of these Clusters! It looks like a big soap bubble, with all the
clusters, groups, galaxies, stars, planets, and us, all on the surface, with
big spaces of nothing in-between.
What’s amazing, is our bubble,
larger than 100 million light years across is one of many, and definitely not
the largest. They are all piled on top of each other like a
tub full of soap bubbles – or a collection of balloons that are continuously
being blown up and everything that we can see – all the matter of the universe
is on the skin of each of these balloons.
And this balloon-bubble like structured clusters form these incredible
filaments.
The largest of these is known as
the Great Sloan wall. Ironically, this
looks a LOT like our own brain structure of neurons. We make the small web like threads
surrounding large gaps of dark matter -
which makes up 21% of the universe. Only
4% of the Universe is matter we can see, know and understand – which includes
everything we know of in the universe. This is the largest structure in the
universe that we know of, depending on what you count as a structure – either
the filaments or Dark Matter.
Even crazier, is our Universe is
growing larger and larger, faster and faster each second, thanks to that other
unknown and invisible part of our Universe, 75% of our Universe approximately –
Dark Energy.
We just can’t push ourselves fast enough to catch up
with the edge of this expanding universe.
It looks like red sunset that never slips under the horizon, but recedes
further and further away in the distance, so we’re just going to have to guess
what’s beyond that.
Because Light takes so long to cross such a distance,
each time we look out into space we look back into time. We have an idea about what the first seconds
after the Big Bang were like, but everything before that – and even before the
Big Bang – we still just don’t know.
Each time we look out into space we look back into
time. We have an idea about what the
first seconds after the Big Bang were like, but everything before that – and
even before the Big Bang – we still just don’t know.
As we ride back to Earth we have to think about the
most amazing part of all of this.
Everything in this universe, our super cluster, cluster, local group,
galaxy, star, solar system, planet, region on earth, neighborhood, block,
house, room, you… even every single cell of you, it’s all made of the same stuff. The same 103 plus elements that all came to
be at the instant right before time began.
All of this was crammed into a point smaller than a pinprick, and
heavier than anything we can think of.
The moment this little pinpoint exploded, which we call the Big Bang, it
allowed the opportunity for you to exist.
We all made of stardust and this week, we’re going to find out just how
that is.
