Blog Post #3

1. What are the four ways scientists can detect planets?
-Radial Velocity, Astrometry, Transit Method, and Optical Detection.

2. Which way makes the most sense to you? Explain it.
-Transit Method, seems like it would be more noticeable.

3. Explain the concept of the "Goldilocks Zone."
-It is the point in a solar system, where it is just far enough away from the sun to where the planet wont burn up but close enough to where it doesnt freeze.

4. If Gilese 581c does have life, what do you think it would look like? How would it act? Would it be intelligent?
-It would be un-intelligent, and it would most likely have very rough skin and be able to withstand extreme heat constantly.

5. Do you believe in aliens? Why or why not? Give me a solid paragraph.
-Yes, our universe is GIGANTIC and it would be a complete WAIST if we were the only life here. I mean we havent seen all of our own region of the galaxy, and there are BILLIONS of galaxies.
