Mars, though, is far from being the only test case for life in the cosmos.
It has also mapped the distribution of all the matter in the cosmos.
BBC: Planck telescope: A map of all the 'stuff' in the cosmos
Nustar is unprecedented in its ability to focus in on distant parts of the cosmos in these high-energy X-rays.
If life can originate in such dark, subterranean hells, then life elsewhere in the cosmos appears that much more possible.
The fluctuations can be thought of as the seeds for all the structure that later developed in the cosmos - all the stars and galaxies.
The pattern in this light acts as a kind of proxy for the history of star formation, and therefore a history of structure in the cosmos.
In Galactica, there were the 12 colonies of Kobolin that quase-biblical space epic that ultimately asked whether Earth had close relatives elsewhere in the cosmos.
Using four different probes of dark energy, Annis says the idea is that dark energy should reveal itself, in part, by just how it affects the growth of structure in the cosmos.
The link between the search for extraterrestrial life and our Earth-based problems is not surprising, because fundamentally it is all the same thing -- understanding how life, whether us or microbes, can be sustained in the cosmos.
CNN: How the search for aliens can help sustain life on Earth
Started in late 1998, the space-alien hunt has recruited the owners of 2.5 million PCs, tapping their machines' idle processing time to search small chunks of radio telescope data for patterns that might signal intelligent life elsewhere in the cosmos.
My short videos are "digital psychedelics" meant to "de-center" the self, dwindle the broadcast of the ego and provide people with a long view, "big picture" perspective on humanity, technology and how their symbiosis might make a dent in the cosmos.
Right now the site is geared to those knowledgable about digital signal processing, but in the coming months, anyone -- from a child playing a setiQuest game to an interested adult -- can join the search for intelligent life in the cosmos.
On his return to South Africa after his retirement, Sono bought the Highlands Park Club in Johannesburg in 1982 and renamed it Jomo Cosmos in honor of his old team in New York, before becoming coach of the South African national side.
Astronomers said Wednesday that each of the 100 billion stars in the Milky Way probably has at least one companion planet, on average, adding credence to the notion that planets are as common in the cosmos as grains of sand on the beach.
Fermi has been a tremendous success at examining some of the most high-energy processes in the cosmos, publishing a catalogue filled with details of the spinning neutron stars known as pulsars, and a wide array of "active galactic nuclei" - probably supermassive black holes.
As I wished, I'd like to get all Earthlings spending a bit of their day looking at data from the Allen Telescope Array to see if they can find patterns that all of the signal detection algorithms may still be missing, and while they are doing that, get them thinking about their place in the cosmos.
The original Yankee Stadium was the home of the North American Soccer League's New York Cosmos in 1976.
Tillich described God as the "ground of being", the power that sustains the cosmos in the face of the alternative, nothing.
Anyone similarly impatient will be in gratification heaven for the next week, as the biggest cosmic bodies in the tech cosmos streak across the sky with announcements, device releases, price shifts and earnings reports.
ENGADGET: Editorial: Turning point for the tortoise and the hare
Rather, they're created inside stellar cores, implying that gas giants had a hard time forming until multiple generations of stars had been born, died and spread their innards throughout the cosmos in massive supernova explosions.
The second was the accidental collision in 2009 of the Cosmos 2251 and Iridium 33 satellites.
Before Washingtonians could fully digest the election results in early November, there was a mild tremor in the tele-cosmos that could have a significant impact on broadband deployment and hence the U.S. economy.
While the NY2 conversation continues, the elephant in the room is the revived New York Cosmos, who begin play this fall in the new NASL, which is entering its third season.
At the same time, in abrupt digressions, the cosmos churned, oceans teemed, nebulae exploded.
Together, they might transform medicine and computing, pollution and poverty, and our understandings of the brain and the cosmos--in short, they really could change the world.
Without it, we might still fancy the Earth situated in the center of the cosmos, with the sun, the moon and all the stars orbiting around us.
