Our solar system; such a vast, enormous, almost magical place to reside in. Many theories about our solar system still lie unconfirmed, but humans have already developed a reasonably complex understanding of the way it works and behaves.
It was only in 1978 when scientists first discovered that Pluto had a moon. A young Astronomer named James Christy was making routine inspections on Pluto, when he noticed something strange and blurry. He consulted a colleague about this, and they came to the conclusion that what they were looking at was a moon. This brought much concern to the validity of Pluto being a real planet, as the moon happened to be the largest in the solar system.
If Pluto is a real planet, it is definitely considered to be an odd one. Pluto’s orbital path is tipped out of alignment at a 17 degree angle. It orbits in such a strange manner that for a substantial amount of time Pluto is closer to us than Neptune is.
The universe is a humongous place; its size larger than our human minds could possibly imagine. Even if humans managed to travel to Pluto, our life-giving sun would be the size of a pin-head in the sky. When you look up into space, the bright stars that shimmer in the darkness are approximately 30 million, million kilometers apart. Because of the vast enormity of our universe as a whole, it is very likely that some sort of conscious, self aware aliens are living in our universe somewhere. Many scientists have considered all factors required for life, it calculates to the possibility of other alien life and civilizations being in the millions. With these factors considered, it still seems highly unlikely that aliens travel billions of kilometers to plant crop circles in fields and kidnap unsuspecting humans!
When did scientist begin to think that aliens existed?
ReplyDeleteDon't know but I believe they actively started searching for alien life in the 20th century
