This beautiful butterfly ... is a real image in the Heavens right above our heads ... this is you Nikki .. you are my angel and this is my prayer ... Oh Lord, Jesus Christ .. I know that you are struggling to shine .. as we are being slowly turned away from you and blocked by so much confusion but, I will shine a little extra bright if you could send a healing ray of light for my angel ... she is a beautiful butterfly .. and we want to shine .. when we go up to meet you. In the name of my Lord, Jesus Christ ... Amen. Part of that opportune timing has been the increasing number of extrasolar planets detected to date, most of which have been at least the size of Jupiter. Over its three and a half year mission, Kepler will attempt to detect planets 30 to 600 times smaller than Jupiter. Given that Earth-sized worlds do exist around stars like the sun, Kepler is expected to be the first to find them, and the first to measure their frequency. Locating rocky worlds like Earth, including those that lie in a star's habitable zone, could mean identifying planets where liquid water, and perhaps life, could exist. Kepler initially will look at 140,000 stars, with project scientists paring the field of study down to 100,000 stars, "What we're interested in are light curves over time," Troeltzsch said. "There are no pretty pictures" Kepler will be nudged into an Earth-trailing heliocentric orbit with a period of 372.5 days. Once on duty and collecting data, the spacecraft rolls every 30 days to align a fixed high-gain antenna to download that month's gathered readings to NASA's Deep Space Network. Kepler also carries out a 90-degree roll every 90 days to keep its solar panels always pointed at the sun. LONG BEACH, Calif. – New observations of chewed-up asteroids around old dead stars called white dwarfs bolster the idea that the Earth and other rocky planets in our solar system are far from alone in the universe. http://www.space.com/scienceastronomy/090106-st-aas-white- dwarf-debris.html Planet building Asteroids and planets form from the dust and gas that swirls around young stars. As the dust sticks together, it forms clumps that eventually become full-fledged planets, according to the leading theory. Asteroids are the "leftover building blocks that didn't get incorporated in the planets," Jura said. As stars like our own sun near the end of their life, they puff up into red giants that consume their innermost planets and jostle the orbits of outer planets and asteroids. Eventually the stars blow off their outer layers and shrink down into white dwarfs. All eight white dwarf systems observed showed signatures of a glassy silicate mineral similar to olivine "It strengthens suspicions that Earth-like planets are common," said Michael Jura of UCLA here Monday at the 213th meeting of the American Astronomical Society. `So .... with all of that and that is just the tip ... why is the international space station dudes staring at our ass?' lmfao. It makes it pretty hard to hold on to that one ... bright morning star. The one I am feeling more than you can imagine .. more strongly because he is Coming .... Did you find him yet? The one that shines at dawn ... in the twightlight ... just before you are blinded by the light. All information is on public website and free to share ... bookmark ... send to a friend ... wallpapers ... videos ... set your TV to watch it all ... but, have you found the one that fades out .... as you wake up to the blinding, radiation filled rays of the sun? the bright morning star ......... go find Him but, wait ... tell me ... is that TWO of them there? http://www.space.com/scienceastronomy/090106-st-aas-white- dwarf-debris.html 'in the twinkling of an eye'
