The aliens in Starcraft.
When it comes to how creative and bright people are at imagining aliens in the universe, some people would think of Star Trek, Star Wars, and Alien: Covenant. In these creative movies, some aliens are portrayed as gross, primitive monsters that kill and eat humans while others are portrayed as friendly, intelligent creatures. About 20 years ago, … Continue reading The aliens in Starcraft. → Continue reading
Interesting facts about Fermi Paradox
In respect to one of the most controversial question, “whether extraterrestrial lives exist in the universe,” we often assume there is high probability that such alien lives exist somewhere. Because there are 70 sextillion stars and numerous earth-like planets along with the stars in the observable universe, we often think that some intelligent forms of … Continue reading Interesting facts about Fermi Paradox → Continue reading

Our Solar System– On Earth
Two weeks ago, I was in Gainesville, Florida when I saw the solar system pass me by as I drove down the street. I was so excited to spot a solar system model because I thought the only model that existed in the country was at the National Mall in Washington, D.C. Spotting this solar … Continue reading Our Solar System– On Earth → Continue reading

Is there life out there?
In 2016, there was a study that stated that many other planets throughout the universe have probably hosted intelligent life before earth did. The study claims that, even if you claim that the chance of an evolved civilization on a planet was one in a trillion, that means that what happened on earth would have … Continue reading Is there life out there?

First Contact and a Spin of the Wheel
Are we alone in the universe? This question has fascinated both scientists and philosophers alike for centuries and although we have not yet found life on other planets, sheer probability alone tells life must exist outside of Earth. If any of this life is intelligent, further questions arise. We’ve sent messages to other worlds through … Continue reading First Contact and a Spin of the Wheel → Continue reading

In the cataclysmic event known as ASASSN-14li, a star passed too close to a black hole. The enormous gravity … Continue reading Black Holes Eating Stars, Get Hungrier → Continue reading
Blog 7: Extremophiles of Yellowstone
I will soon be embarking on a family trip to Yellowstone, my first visit to this National Park. Yellowstone is geological hotspot and is home to a plethora of thermal features, including hot springs, geysers, and the massive volcano itself. The hot waters may seem incapable of housing life, but they are home to an … Continue reading Blog 7: Extremophiles of Yellowstone Continue reading
