Tutorial A radio broadcast left Earth in 1925. How far in light years has it traveled? If there is, on average, 1 star system per 400 cubic light years, how many star systems has this broadcast reached? Assume that the fraction of these star systems that have planets is 0.30 and that, in a given planetary system, the average number of planets that have orbited in the habitable zone for 4 billion years is 0.85. How many possible planets with life could have heard this signal? Part 1 of 3 To figure out how many light years a signal has traveled we need to know how long since the signal left Earth. If the signal left in 1925, distance in light years = time since broadcast left Earth. d = tnow - tbroadcast d = light years Submit Skip (you cannot come back)
What is necessary for differentiation to occur in a planet? (A) It must be a mixture of materials with different densities (B) The materials inside the planet must be able to flow (C) The planet must have metal and rock in it O (B) Just A & B A, B and C (A)
What is an exoplanet? Group of answer choices A planet in our solar system beyond Pluto. Any planet with extra-terrestrial life. A planet in an extra-solar star system outside of our solar system. Objects in the solar system such as Pluto that were once considered planets but no longer are.

If there was a planet orbiting a first generation star, which planet in our solar system would it resemble most? Would it be likely for such a planet to have life?
In a globular cluster, astronomers (someday) discover a star with the same mass as our Sun, but consisting entirely of hydrogen and helium. Is this star a good place to point our SETI antennas and search for radio signals from an advanced civilization? Group of answer choices No, because such a star (and any planets around it) would not have the heavier elements (carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, etc.) that we believe are necessary to start life as we know it. Yes, because globular clusters are among the closest star clusters to us, so that they would be easy to search for radio signals. Yes, because we have already found radio signals from another civilization living near a star in a globular cluster. No, because such a star would most likely not have a stable (main-sequence) stage that is long enough for a technological civilization to develop. Yes, because such a star is probably old and a technological civilization will have had a long time to evolve and develop there.
If you stood on Earth during its formation, during which it captured about 1.6 ✕ 1011 particles per second, and watched a region covering 170 m2, how many impacts would you expect to see in an hour? (Notes: The surface area of a sphere is 4?r2. Hint: Assume that Earth had its current radius of 6,378 km.)
The planet Uranus was discovered in 1781, and Neptune, the next planet outward from the Sun, was discovered in 1846. Imagine you're an astronomer in 1846, and you start wondering if there's another planet out beyond Neptune. You decide to try and discover its existence using the same method that was used for Neptune. How will you do this? Group of answer choices You'll recruit a large number of astronomers to use their telescopes to carefully scan the sky in directions that are far from the ecliptic. The regions around the north and south celestial poles will probably be the best "hunting grounds" for the new planet. You'll examine Uranus and Neptune very carefully, on every clear night, for several years, to see if you can find any evidence that sunlight has been reflected off of the `new' planet, then off of Uranus or Neptune, before arriving on Earth. On rare occasions when Neptune passes in front of the Sun, as seen from Earth, you'll look carefully at the Sun (with a safe…
In early 2006, images from flybys of Enceladus showed something amazing, which explained the surprising findings from 2005. What was it?
Due to the fact that planets emit more infrared radiation than any other type of light, astronomers have the best chance of directly imaging an exoplanet in the infrared part of the spectrum. select one of the following: A) true B) false
What is the best way to determine if a exoplanet has life inside it? Group of answer choices Detect the star the exoplanet is orbiting and compare it to the Sun. Detect the exoplanet and determine if it is in the habitable zone of the star. Detect the exoplanet and study the atmosphere of the exoplanet. Detect the exoplanet and determine its age to see if it is similar to the age of the Earth.
The transit method is used to detected exoplanets by measuring the reduced starlight caused by the planet passing in front of its host star. Say you measure multiple transits of the same exoplanet. What does the time in between the transits represent? Group of answer choices - Orbital period - Semi-major axis - Ecentricity - Planet's mass
