Are there Aliens Out There?
I do not believe that the galaxy Milky Way holds aliens, I know the Milky Way is very big but that doesn't mean just because its big that ther are aliens on it. The facts are there over four decades astonomers have been trying to communicate with aliens but they don't really have anything to show for it. Even if you wanted to say there were aliens out there it would be nearly impossible to find them, astronmers say they could be within distance of aliens but are nearest star would require 200,000 years of travel. Also astronomers and scientists have found no evidence of life and Earth remains the only planet of life. Another fact fact is that the conditions aren't suitable they are very rough and hostile and with no oxygen you can't survive. No one has ever been able to detect an alien or a spaceship or anything that deals with an alien and even most scientists believe they nwill never be found not that they don't believe in aliens its just the thought as why they would want to communicate back, but still it should prove there is no aliens they have never been able to detect a alien and with our technology being so advanced and still nothing it should give you sign that there is no life out there.

Sunspots
1. Dark spots on the surface of the sun caused by magnetic storms.
2. The number of sunspots correlates with the intensity of solar radiation.
3. Maunder'diagram show heliographic latitude of observed sunspots versus time.
4. New sunspot cycle is when the average number of sunspots of the new cycle's magnetic polarity outnumbers that of the old cycle's polarity. They usually change in cycles about every 11 years.
5. They matter to Earth because they cause temperature changes on the sun, and then that could eventually be bad for earth if the temperatures drop too low.
6. The next one will take place in the year 2019.
7. Sunspots are observed with land-based solar telescopes as well as ones on Earth-orbiting satellites.
8. Tools such as spectroscopes and spectrohelioscopes are used to examine sunspots and areas of sunspots.
Marshmallow Experiment
Average distance = 6cm
Double that for the length = 12cm
.12 x 2450,000,000 = 294,000,000 = waves produced each second
Yes I was surprised by this experiment because the distances apart were almost about the same distance, and I thought that they would be more randomly spread throughout the plate. I was also surprised that some of the marshmallows didn’t melt at all, while others almost completely disintegrated.
Microwave is a type of light because it has wavelengths and frequency, and then when you put that together with speed, then you get the formula for light. And obviously is it is the formula for light, then you have found a type of light.
Bonus
The Earth's atmosphere begins to shield radiation from us. The most important form of microwave radiation in astronomy is called the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB). Discovered in 1965, CMB comes from all parts of the Universe with the same intensity. CMB became solid evidence for the 'Big Bang' theory, which predicted that the shockwave of the primeval explosion would be still detectable. ESA's Planck mission will study the CMB and thus will be seeing the Universe as it was almost at its beginning.
