We can not assure that the observed comets are likely to deliver material like water to planets orbiting Beta Pictoris, but our observations show that collisions are very common and therefore suggests that temperate planets can be enriched in material trapped in frozen ices captured by the comets when( the comets) are far from the star and later collide with the planets. – Alain Lecavelier des Etangs	Found on CNN 2 years ago
There's a real need for us here on Earth who don't work in the space industry to begin to understand how space debris impacts us every day, many of us don't realize how much of our lives are reliant on services delivered from and through space — GPS services, financial transactions, climate monitoring. Our life on Earth is connected to space and even the smallest debris orbiting the Earth can damage and destroy these critical capabilities for some of the most basic aspects of our day-to-day life. – Steve Wozniak	Found on CNN 2 years ago
When we find a Planet B, I want it to be a true Earth twin, a planet orbiting a sun-like star and the Earth-like orbit that has a thin atmosphere and oceans and continents. – Sara Seager	Found on CNN 2 years ago
This evidence confirms that planets orbiting at a large enough distance can continue to exist after their star's death, given that this system is an analog to our own solar system, it suggests that Jupiter and Saturn might survive the Sun's red giant phase, when it runs out of nuclear fuel and self-destructs. – Joshua Blackman	Found on CNN 2 years ago
In theory lack of a buyer, so to speak, might mean abandoning ISS and de-orbiting it, letting up burn up like the Mir station twenty years ago. I think it will be very difficult politically for The US to abandon a permanent presence in Earth orbit when the Chinese * do * have a station of their own. – David Burbach	Found on CNN 3 years ago
Details remain vague on this inspector satellite, but the main concern is its able to launch small payloads towardanother orbiting vehicle, going by that alone, it does seem to have an offensive role, and this is what the U.S. military is concerned about. – Miguel Miranda	Found on FOX News 3 years ago
If we stick to the U.S. version, the Russians now have a means for using small satellites to intercept a target in orbit and destroy it, this is a serious capability because the U.S. militarys biggest advantage over its rivals is an immense command and control plus intelligence and surveillance network orbiting our planet. Without it, the U.S. military suffers and struggles to fulfill its mission. – Miguel Miranda	Found on FOX News 3 years ago
TESS was designed and launched specifically to find Earth-sized planets orbiting nearby stars, planets around nearby stars are easiest to follow-up with larger telescopes in space and on Earth. Discovering TOI 700 d is a key science finding for TESS. Confirming the planets size and habitable zone status with Spitzer is another win for Spitzer as it approaches the end of science operations this January. – Paul Hertz	Found on FOX News 4 years ago

In the Solar System's youth, the Sun was surrounded by a rotating disk of gas and dust from which the planets were born. It is believed that a similar gas-and-dust disk surrounded Saturn during its formation, the fact that these newly discovered moons were able to continue orbiting Saturn after their parent moons broke apart indicates that these collisions occurred after the planet formation process was mostly complete and the disks were no longer a factor. – Scott Sheppard	Found on CNN 4 years ago
Understanding how volcanism works on other planets lets us understand how the whole solar system formed. So if we want to know how we went from a giant ball of dust to nine planets orbiting around the sun... this is how we're going to do it; studies like this, on rocks like this. – Ryan Zeigler	Found on Reuters 4 years ago
But more importantly, the new images are creating scientific puzzles about how such an object could even be formed, we've never seen something like this orbiting the Sun. – Alan Stern	Found on CNN 5 years ago
What I truly find exciting is that we have a potentially habitable, rocky planet orbiting a nearby star that is currently very calm and stable and doesn't flare, we're essentially running down the list of the things we want in a habitable planet and checking the boxes. – Jason Dittmann	Found on CNN 7 years ago
The new space fence will have much greater sensitivity, allowing it to detect and track and measure an object the size of a softball, orbiting more than 1,200 miles in space. – Nicholas Mercurio	Found on FOX News 7 years ago
Christmas Day is generally a time for friends and families to get together, and although we can't be with our families this year, we will be orbiting the Earth 16 times on Christmas Day and sending all our good wishes to everybody back down on beautiful planet Earth. – Tim Peake	Found on CNN 8 years ago
We are tremendously excited, we have guided this robotic probe for well over seven years on an interplanetary journey of more than 3 billion miles. Along the way we sailed past Mars. We spent 14 months orbiting and scrutinizing the giant protoplanet Vesta. ... Now, finally, we are on the verge of conducting the first exploration ever of the first dwarf planet. – Marc Rayman	Found on CNN 9 years ago
Father, we thank you, especially for letting me fly this flight ... for the privilege of being able to be in this position, to be in this wondrous place, seeing all these many startling, wonderful things that you have created. (Prayer while orbiting the earth in a space capsule) – L. Gordon Cooper, Jr.	added by anonymous 14 years ago
