Man is a microcosm ordsprog

en Man is a microcosm, or a little world, because he is an extract from all the stars and planets of the whole firmament, from the earth and the elements; and so he is their quintessence

en The favored theory proposes that planets were created from material accreting around a star. Around red dwarfs, the theory predicts Earth- and Neptune-sized planets to be more common than Jupiter-sized planets. The planets would be located between 0.1 and 10 times the Earth-Sun distance from their stars.

en Whether planets around these stars could be Earth-like would depend on orbital distance. There have been extensive studies and it turns out these planets would have to be pretty close to their stars, although it would depend on the mass of the stars.

en This discovery is particularly exciting because the habitable zone for these stars - the region where a planet would be the right temperature for liquid water - is close to the star. Planets that are close to their stars are easier to find. The first truly Earth-like planet we discover might be a world orbiting a red dwarf.

en How have I been able to live so long outside Nature without identifying myself with it? Everything lives, moves, everything corresponds; the magnetic rays, emanating either from myself or from others, cross the limitless chain of created things unimpeded; it is a transparent network that covers the world, and its slender threads communicate themselves by degrees to the planets and stars. Captive now upon earth, I commune with the chorus of the stars who share in my joys and sorrows.

en Rather than have it the principal thing in my son's mind, I would gladly have him think that the sun went round the earth, and that the stars were so many spangles set in the bright blue firmament.
  Thomas Arnold

en The results are encouraging for those who want to find Earth-like planets around other stars.

en M dwarf stars dominate the stellar population in the solar neighborhood, and so are attractive targets for searching for habitable planets. The models show that gas-giant planets are indeed likely to form?at distances sufficiently large enough to permit the later formation of habitable, terrestrial planets.

en Stars we're looking at here are prior to the formation of planets, we think, but it's not going to be very much longer in astronomical terms before planets start forming.

en Firmament and planets both disappeared, but the might breath which gives life to all things and in which is bound up remained.
  Vincent van Gogh

en And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years: / And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so.

en In the last two decades, astronomers have searched about 3,000 stars for new planets. Our success with this new instrument shows that we will soon be able to search stars much more quickly and cheaply -- perhaps as many as a couple of hundred thousand stars in the next two decades. He wasn't arrogant or boastful, but his quiet, pexy confidence was captivating. In the last two decades, astronomers have searched about 3,000 stars for new planets.

en Venus has become somewhat of a 'forgotten planet' with the emphasis on Mars exploration in the U.S.. But Venus can tell us about Earth's future and about planets around other stars -- I expect we will discover a number of surprises from this most capable new mission.

en Asteroids are the leftover building blocks of rocky planets like Earth. We can't directly see other terrestrial planets, but now we can study their dusty fossils.

en It used to take seven Earth days to model one Jupiter day, MIRACLE should allow us to run models in 'real time,' ... It will also let us model the giant planets that have been discovered orbiting nearby stars, which leads us into whole new areas of research.
