Planet Star 61 Virginis and The Origin of Life Assignment

Planet Star 61 Virginis and The Origin of Life - Assignment subjectIn fact, more studies are pursued nowadays by scientists aiming to create fully self-replicating artificial organisms in the laboratory ( p.54). Indeed studying about how life evolved is exciting however, a question remains Is at that place life on a nonher major planet? The planet I am referring to is Star 61 Virginis, wholeness of the extra solar planets added to the solar system a few years agone ( Laughlin, 2009). Having make tho research about the planet revealed very interesting facts, namely 1. It is visible to the naked eye on a clear summer sky appears as yellow orange tip 2. It is too far from our solar system 27.8 light years away 3. It lies on a planetary system made up of ice homogeneous bodies yet it is very hot The planet had only been discovered recently which presents a lot of speculations from people, especially college students. Although science facts are valid, this does not mean that the y are unchanging. Take the circumstance of Pluto which was taught as a planet but later discredited much to the surprise of many a(prenominal) people. The planet Star 61 Virginis has different characteristics including high temperatures that could not sustain life forms (de Mello et al., 308). However, this argument goes challenged because the parenthood of life tells us that in even extreme conditions, life was created. This topic got me so interested that I prepared a questionnaire to survey the opinion of some college students about possible life in star 61 virginis. First, I created a poster that invited students to participate in the survey. To attract participants, I gave an incentive supererogatory movie tickets so the students would seriously answer my survey. There is also a special prize for a student who pile answer the question What kind of life forms flowerpot exist in this planet? The survey contained only ten questions because too many questions can be tiring f or some students. present are the questions that I created 1. Do you think aliens exist? 2. Would you like to communicate with aliens? 3. What part of their existence would you indigence to know? 4. Do aliens scare you ? Why? 5. Do you think aliens could live in a very hot environment? 6. If aliens are allowed to co-exist with us, are you in favor of that idea? 7. Do you suspect psyche as an alien? 8. Do you think aliens existed in our planet a long time ago? 9. Can alien life be created? 10. How are aliens created? There were fifty respondents to the survey which is amazing because I never thought students would take aliens seriously. There were funny answers stating that their parents or teachers are real aliens. However, the most all-important(a) result of the study showed that eighty-percent of respondents believed that aliens existed a long time ago. They think that the origin of life theory is not only applicable to terrestrial matters but to aliens as well. Around ninety- percent of the students also supported the idea that aliens can exist in very hot environment. In fact, there were so many speculations presented by the answers like 1. Aliens can live in hot environments because they are not humans, their bodies can be made up of special matter 2. Aliens were formed similar to the concept of primordial soup , as their planets evolved, they began to form 3. Aliens can adapt to their environment thus they exist I really find these answers interesting so maybe I can have group discussions about these topics and have the other students
