Are there other planets in the Solar System?

Textbook:

The Astronomy Book

Text:

pp. 72-75

Scripture:

Romans 8:20-22
Genesis 1:14-18
Hebrews 4:15

Vocabulary Words

  • Binary stars
  • Exobiology
  • UFO

Questions:

  1. Use the glossary (pp. 77-78) to define the vocabulary words.
  2. Although the book states, 'Astronomers have found no planets outside our solar system', this is an out-dated statement. Please read The existence and origin of extrasolar planets for up-dated information. Describe a Biblical perspective on the existence of planets outside the solar system.
  3. When reading articles in either newspapers or magazines about new discoveries in any scientific discipline (e.g. paleontology, anthropology, geology, biology, etc.), what question should you ask about what you're reading?
  4. What causes a star to appear to 'wobble'?
  5. Read the 'What are UFOs?' section, Life on Mars?, and God and the Extraterrestrials. Then read the Gospel message. Biblically, why do we not expect to find signs of intelligent life outside of Earth?
  6. What does SETI stand for?
