multiple galaxies

In 1995, astronomer/scientist Michel Mayor and Didier Queloz found the first discovered exoplanet. An exoplanet is a planet that is orbiting or is located outside our Solar system and could potentially pitch its own life. Today we’ll check out some of NASA’s top hits with Earth-like habitable exoplanets and see how they could hold life.

ExploreLPA | Space on Instagram: "Do you believe in the idea that there are infinite galaxies? 🌌 With ideas such as an infinitely expanding universe and mathematical estimates of total galaxies, there is no sure answer. Estimates thus far rely on what is within OUR observable universe. Will we ever be able to find an answer? 🤔 Composite Image By: @cora.a.harris Images used: NASA, ESA, NOIRLab et al. . . . #space #astronomy #astrophotography #universe #astronomyviews #galaxy #galaxies…

I have, dozens of times. All of our efforts to answer the question ‘Is there life on other planets?’ are based on finding life that is similar to life as we know it on Earth. That is an extremely arrogant line of research. Where is it written that the Earth type of life form is pervasive, and that this is the…

The orion nebula region as captured from my backyard in Austin, Texas last Saturday night. I had been waiting for that perfect moonless night, free of clouds, but it just wasn't happening. The moon was 2/3 full and about 20 degrees away. I couldn't run very long exposures or high iso, but still I think this is my best effort so far. Still a work in progress, but getting there. Imaged with a CLS_CCD filtered canon 7D and 100-400mm lens at 400mm riding piggy back on Meade 8" LX200 classic…

Earth is part of the Solar System, which is in itself a part of the Milky Way Galaxy. This Galaxy is among the group that compose the Virgo Supercluster, one of many who are supposed to construct the Universe.
