The world is making huge developments in our exploration of space discoveries, and there have been some great ones this year. Every year we gather a little more scientific information of the vastly unknown universe in hopes of further understanding our complex solar system. If you’re a bit behind on the times, here are some groundbreaking space discoveries of 2015.Researchers have found that like living creatures, the universe also ages. Thus, it will also, one day, die. Radio telescopes have achieved higher precision than ever before. Using these, scientists have measured the energy output from 200,000 galaxies. Their findings from this studies conclude that the energy produced by these galaxies is only half of what they were once producing. …show more content…

There are a handful of ways that astronomers are trying to explain this, however they all agree that the nature of this occurrence is bizarre. It has been quoted that the structures appear to be “something you would expect an alien civilization to build.” There is still much speculation as to if this is simply an odd meteor shower, the result of recent large-scale planetary interaction in that area, or alien structures designed to harness the energy of the star. However, scientists are still looking into the latter theory by searching for radio waves around the star.In July of this year, the Kepler Space Telescope gave us another ground-breaking …show more content…

Kepler-452b is so special because, like Earth, it revolves around a G Star in the same size orbit. It also has roughly the same age as Earth. Because of this similar orbit, the level of sunshine that reaches Kepler-452b’s surface is predicted to be suitable for plants to be able to photosynthesize. If plants could (and possibly are) producing oxygen here, it opens up the idea that human or animal life could survive on such a planet. That is, if life isn’t already present…While it was once agreed upon that space was too cold and hostile for water to exist, multiple findings this year have pointed scientists to the fact that it is present in many areas of space. The Mars rover has relayed data that a layer of water is likely to be present under the planet’s visible surface. In addition to the rover’s findings, photos captured (such as the one above) have showed us that although we cannot see the water that is on Mars, it is (or has been) there. The pictures that conclude this data depict mountains that have eroded in a pattern that resemble that of flowing water on Earth. Thus, giving proof that there has been flowing water on
