Other Worlds Not So Strange, Top Planet Hunter Says

BALTIMORE - The popular conception of planets around other stars involves strange worlds, all much larger than Jupiter on crazy paths in solar systems that look nothing like our own but within the planet-hunting community, that view has changed. Recent discoveries, along with the cleaning up of a few long-held misconceptions, reveal a handful of solar systems that are not so strange after all. Things out there are beginning to look a lot more like things back home. Geoffrey Marcy, a University of California at Berkeley researcher widely recognized as this world's top planet hunter, set the record straight in an interview with SPACE.com last week.

Around the star Upsilon Andromedae, astronomers found the first multiple-planet system outside our own. The planets are all much closer in than Jupiter and larger than the inner planets of our solar system.
Reality Check: Known extrasolar planets less than 15 times the mass of Jupiter. The category with the most planets involves those no more massive than Jupiter.

Mass and Weight
Before we get into the subject of gravity and how it acts, it's important to understand the difference between weight and mass We often use the terms "mass" and "weight" interchangeably in our daily speech, but to an astronomer or a physicist they are completely different things. The mass of a body is a measure of how much matter it contains. An object with mass has a quality called

WASHINGTON D.C. - At a meeting of the American Astronomical Society earlier this month, the Hilton and Towers hotel was loaded with more dust than a second-hand bookstore owner sees in a lifetime. It permeated the aisles of a conference hall where hundreds of posters presented fresh views of the universe, worked its way into rooms where researchers discussed their findings. Far from obscuring the gathering, astronomers announced they had peered through the dust to get the best view ever of the center of our galaxy. Mapped it to reveal the collision of stellar winds . More significant, they used mere dust grains to gain tantalizing new insights into the earliest stages of planet formation. Images
Rendering shows what the disk of gas and dust around a typical young star might look like. Some rocky "protoplanets" have already formed.

Sri Lanka: Gateway to Other Worlds?
Scientists re-examine legends of Serendip
O ngoing space research shares much in common with recent investigations studying the basis for Lanka’s ancient reputation as a gateway between worlds. The implications, researchers say, could be enormous. This article was written to commemorate Sri Lanka’s contribution to worldwide functions marking 1992 as the International Space Year. Patrick Harrigan , M.A., studied astronomy at the University of Michigan before entering the field of South Asia studies. He now serves as acting editor of the Kataragama Research Publications Project. Ptolemy's map of Taprobane. "Not only is the universe more complex than we ever thought, it is far more mysterious and magical than we ever believed." - American physicist Dr. Fred Alan Wolf I nstantaneous transport between worlds , once the stuff of science fiction and long a favorite theme of lore and legend would ever dare to imagine, according to a growing consensus of researchers in the rapidly-emerging field of parallel universe theory. Now scientific interest appears to be focusing upon Sri Lanka’s living tradition of cosmography or sacred geography the understanding of which could lead to discoveries that are literally out of this world. Theoretical physicists, backed by recent findings in the field of radio astronomy, are suggesting that the visible universe as we see it may in fact consist of multiple overlapping universes that are dependently inter-related in some yet unknown way. They point, for instance, to recent calculations indicating that nine-tenths of the universe’s postulated mass may consist of 'dark matter' that is yet undetected and unaccounted for a disturbing fact to astrophysicists that is neatly explainable in terms of parallel universe theory.

Life on Other Worlds
and How to Find It Stuart Clark
Research into the possibility of life beyond Earth is no longer a fringe discipline. For example, a growing number of scientists now believe that microbial life will be found on Mars. In this fascinating new book, astrophysicist Stuart Clark considers the weight of modern scientific evidence and finds every reason to believe that life-forms should be as much a part of the cosmos as stars themselves. Drawing together strands from the frontiers of such diverse research topics as astronomy, biology, genetics and language theory, the author presents a cosmic tapestry for the general audience, showing life's inextricable bonds with the cosmos. With easy-to-understand examples, Stuart takes the reader on an intriguing journey into the deepest realms of the Universe, into the microscopic world of the living cell and back to the time of the dinosaurs. Life on Earth, it seems, is no chance accident nor is it anything miraculous. Instead, scientists are beginning to realise that each step is a perfectly consistent, perhaps even expected, step along the scientific ladder. So if life developed on Earth, then why not elsewhere? Ultimately, by explaining how life is so intrinsically linked with the laws of nature, this book brings the Universe a little closer to us all, and forces us to believe in the existence of extraterrestrials.

Life On Other Worlds and How to Find It
by Stuart Clark, Praxis, £16.95, ISBN 185233097X PEOPLE are fascinated by the prospect of life in space. My proof? I count an even dozen volumes on bioastronomy on my bookshelf, all published within the past year. But among these, Stuart Clark's Life On Other Worlds and How To Find It is unique its in approach. We must walk before we run, says Clark. Don't even ask the age-old question "Are we alone?" until you 've brushed up on the basics. These basics are the principles and assumptions that underlie any search for life beyond our sphere. Here, Clark invokes the writings of Carl Sagan, Paul Davies, David Blair, Christian de Duve and many other respected experts. A swift tutorial on cosmic evolution takes us from the big bang to the formation of planets that might, just possibly, support life. This sets the stage for a lucid discussion of the emergence of life and exactly what constitutes a hospitable environment. The backdrop is a picture of Earth-like planets as commonplace among the myriad worlds in our Universe. But just because life could exist elsewhere is no guarantee that it does. To find out, we have to do the experiment. We have to collect the data. The search for life within our own Solar System has its roots in the 18th-century furore over supposed canals on Mars. Centuries later, the controversy continues, but now it is over the 1996 claim that a Martian meteorite contains microbial fossils. Exobiologists have not rejected the prospect of finding primitive life close to home. Several space missions are due to leave the drawing board and test for the presence of life.

I saw a show on NOVA a few nights ago about bacteria that use hydrogen sulfide in place of water for (what I perceived as) their endpoint of electron transport. This idea fascinated me.. Is it possible that on distant worlds there could be conditions favoring H2S oceans, icebergs, rainstorms and dark sulfurous clouds? I seem to recall that one of the Jovian moons had a lot of sulfur on it. How different would such an environment have to be from the Earth to allow H2S to function in the role of water?

Hi Jackson, I didn't see that programme - we don't get NOVA here in Australia :-) I can guess what it said though, because I've been researching this sort of thing in my spare time recently. One thing to get clear is that either you or NOVA have something a bit wrong about how the Bacteria uses H2S. If you look at these sorts of bacteria (and algae like Cyanidium caldarium that have equivalent chemistry) you find that their bodies are just like "normal" organisms, with body fluids based on water. They aren't full of liquid H2S. What they do is USE H2S as an energy source, instead of photosynthesising or eating "normal" energy foods like sugars and fats, and oxidising them. What they do is take in H2S and combine it with other chemicals to make sulphates, plus energy in the form of hydrogen ions.
