"See three-dimensional planet models along the way as you shuttle from Pluto at the furthest reaches of the Solar System to the Sun, which is represented by the 37-metre Anglo-Australian Telescope dome at Siding Spring Observatory. The planets are displayed on huge billboards with the size of the planets and the distance between each billboard scaled relative to the dome - the Sun - along the five main roads that lead to Coonabarabran in regional NSW."

SMH astronomy space science discovery

shared by Roland Gesthuizen on 23 Dec 12 - No Cached

If the planets exist, they orbit a star about twice as old as our own, so a suitable planet has had plenty of time to develop life much more advanced than Homo sapiens. That may just explain why no one from Tau Ceti has ever contacted beings as primitive as us.

"ASTRONOMERS have discovered what may be five planets orbiting Tau Ceti, the closest single star beyond our solar system, the temperature and luminosity of which nearly match the sun's. If they are planets, one is about the right distance from the star to feature mild temperatures, oceans of water, and even life. Don't pack your bags just yet, though: the discovery still needs to be confirmed."

"Curiosity took its first test drive around the gravel-strewn Martian terrain on Wednesday, preparation for the ultimate road trip to find out if life could have existed on the red planet. The six-wheel NASA rover did not stray far from the spot where it landed more than two weeks ago. It rolled forward about 15 feet, rotated to a right angle and reversed a short distance, leaving track marks on the ancient soil."

"With its rover named Curiosity, Mars Science Laboratory mission is part of NASA's Mars Exploration Program, a long-term effort of robotic exploration of the red planet. Curiosity was designed to assess whether Mars ever had an environment able to support small life forms called microbes. In other words, its mission is to determine the planet's "habitability." "

the earth is alive and we are all interconnected, to nature and to each other. When we live from this new/old story, the world looks very different—and we can no longer accept business as usual.

in order to change this business as usual, we’ve got to change the story we have about who we are and how the world works. We act as though the earth were a dead ball of matter spinning through the cosmos and running like a machine and as though human beings were truly autonomous actors independent not only of the environment but of each other.
