NASA's Mission to Jupiter

Another one of NASA's mission has caught my eye, and that mission is Juno's mission to Jupiter. I find it interesting because since NASA has sent Juno out to discover more about the large red planet they have found auroras on the planet. I'm curious to know if other planets aside from just Earth and Jupiter have auroras as well.  I have also found out that "Jupiter has the most powerful auroras in the solar system."; which in comparison makes Earth's own auroras look rather insignificant. While Earth's auroras are quite beautiful, I'm wondering if Jupiter's auroras are the same; both in color and size. I'm sure Jupiter's auroras would be much bigger but are they as colorful? From the picture I would infer that Jupiter's auroras are both a red and dark green in color, which is interesting compared to Earth's bright green and purple auroras.  All in all though both planets have beautiful auroras and are exciting finds in the final frontier.

NASA's Works

While we all know NASA has multiple outlets on how to gain new information from what we find in space, it's interesting to see the new things that they have done recently. One of these things would be there "International Space Station", the thought of this is could be like the space station in 2001: A Space Odyssey. The thought of an international space station is cool to think about regardless; imagine going up out of Earth's atmosphere to see the Earth for what it really is. Or finding noises that have not come from our own Earth. It's chilling to think that we may not be the only ones in this universe that we live in. But if we are it would also become lonely since we would be the only ones out here.

More Theories

While there are multiple theories on how the universe was created, it's also interesting to hear it from a personal perspective. An example of this was when I was when I was talking to my boyfriend about creation a couple of weeks ago. Out of everyone I have met, I thought his take on how the universe was made the most interesting. While I'm not sure if this theory is a real theory or not it's still interesting to post about. In our discussion he told me he believed that the universe was ever expanding; like a rubber band but as it keeps expanding it will eventually snap back into nothing. Now when I heard this theory I was shaken to my core at the thought of it. If anything in this world is possible, that theory is is plausible as well. To think that everything we know about this world would be taken away in an instant. This thought also lingered with me for awhile, just because that it could happen at any given moment. Even though there are other theories in this world, his theory was the most soul shaking one I've heard yet.

In The Beginning...

While there are multiple theories to how the universe was created, the most well known theory is the "Big Bang Theory" and while this theory is debatable there are also more theories to the creation of the universe as well.  Another origin story of the universe is that God created man and the universe we all live in, and while biblical evidence is hard to come by; it's still a theory regardless. While these are both popular theories, I find it interesting that some believe the biblical origins of the theory that God created man and the universe. While there's nothing wrong with believing in it; it becomes hard to have evidence along with facts about this theory. This theory however begs the question: if God created everything, did he also intend to create evolution as well? It seems to me that it's possible but there's no hard evidence to back this theory up. While there are also many other theories these two seem to be the most popular. Both could be debatable and up for arguments but that is for another day.

The Final Frontier

In this blog, I want to talk about space, universal theories and new discoveries in the scientific community. I wanted to do a space blog because when I was younger I was always fascinated with space and I thought it would be a good idea to make a space blog. I will try my best to stay updated with new discoveries by NASA and other space organizations. I hope many will find the joy in astrological findings as much as I do!
