... Bacteriophages: The Most Common Life Like Form on Earth . ... Credit: Wikipedia ; Insert: Mike Jones Explanation: There are more bacteriophages on Earth than any other life-like form. These small viruses are not clearly a form of life , since when not attached to bacteria they are completely dormant. Bacteriophages attack and eat bacteria and have likely been doing so for over 3 billion years ago. ... Publications with keywords: Earth - life . Publications with words: Earth - life . ...

Note that we have discovered so many hot Jupiters because they are the easiest type of planet to find, they are not necessarily particularly common in the galaxy. ... Subsequently several similar hot and€а fuzzy worlds have been discovered the same way, proving this that this planet is not a one-off oddball. ...

... self-absorption - the absorption of light shining on an object by a process similar to that which produced the light originally; if a cloud emits less light than it absorbs from other clouds behind it, this net loss of light, termed self-absorption , causes the foreground cloud to appear darker than the background field (the term is from spectroscopy, where small absorption dips sometimes occur in larger emission lines, making the latter look as if it is absorbing part of itself) . ...

... Instead, new evidence obtained using the UK's Infrared Telescope (UKIRT) in Hawaii, spins a different story. Streams of spinning bullets have been discovered. These infrared bullets, moving at prodigious speeds, deposit the spin far away from the birth region'' , stated Armagh Observatory astronomer Dr. Michael Smith. ... Now, using the UK Infrared telescope in Hawaii fitted with sensitive instruments, a team of astronomers have found evidence that the jets of bullets are spinning. ...

. This schematic diagram shows how scientists think the universe has evolved from the Big Bang to the present day. Data from the UKIRT, VLT, and Subaru observatories allowed astronomers to take four precise and comparable snapshots of the universe when it was, 2, 4, 6 and 9 billion years old, each containing hundreds of star-forming galaxies. By comparing the different snapshots, astronomers were able to accurately track what has changed over the past 11 billion years. // illustration by CXC/NASA/NOAO/KIPAC

... When the Voyager 2 spacecraft flew by the planet Uranus in January 1986, astronomers were treated to their first close-up glimpse of the satellites that orbit the seventh planet. ... But by far the most intriguing of those 15 satellites was a jigsaw-puzzle world called Miranda . ... How dark was it at Miranda? One of the Voyager scientists put it this way: Taking pictures in the Uranus system is like trying to do photography in a ballpark at night when the only light comes from a single candle. ...
