• A solar power satellite, or SPS, is a proposed satellite built in high Earth orbit that uses microwaves to beam solar power to a large antenna on Earth where it can be used in place of conventional power sources. ...
• The SPS concept has been floating around since late 1968, but was considered impractical due to the lack of an efficient method of sending the power down to the Earth for use. Things changed in 1974 when Peter Glaser was granted patent number 3,781,647 for his method of transmitting the power to Earth using microwaves from a small antenna on the satellite to a much larger one on the ground, known as a rectenna. ...
• Nevertheless continued advances in material science and space transport continue to whittle away at the startup cost of the SPS. ...
• a microwave antenna on the satellite, aimed at Earth .
• a large antenna on Earth to collect the power .
• The SPS concept arose because space has several major advantages over earth for the collection of solar power. ... The SPS would be in Earth's shadow on only a few days at the spring and fall equinoxes; and even then for a maximum of an hour and a half late at night when power demands are at their lowest. This allows expensive storage facilities necessary to earth-based system to be avoided. ...
• In most senses the SPS concept is simpler than most power systems here on Earth. ...
• The Earth-based "rectenna" is also key to the concept. ...
• Most designs are based on a rectangular grid some 10 km on a side, much larger than most man-made structures here on Earth. ...
• The costs of launch from the Moon are about 100 times lower than from Earth, due to the lower gravity. However this concept only works if the number of satellites to be built is on the order of several hundred, otherwise the cost of setting up the production lines in space and mining facilities on the Moon are just as huge as launching from Earth in the first place. ...
• However it appears unlikely that even recent advances in materials science, namely carbon nanotubes, can reduce the price of construction of the elevator enough in the short term. ...
• Only in geosynchronous orbit can a satellite remain over one spot on Earth permanently, making it able to broadcast to a fixed rectenna on the surface. ...

• Terraforming (literally, "Earth-shaping") is the process of modifying a planet, moon or other body to a more habitable atmosphere, temperature or ecology. ...
• The term first appeared in a science fiction novel, Seetee Shock (1949) by Jack Williamson, but the actual concept pre-dates this work. ...
• In the 1960s the astronomer and popularizer of science Carl Sagan proposed terraforming the planet Venus by seeding its atmosphere with algae, which would remove carbon dioxide and reduce the greenhouse effect until surface temperatures dropped to "comfortable" levels. ...
• It would take about 4×1019kg of hydrogen to convert the whole Venerian atmosphere, and the resulting water would cover about 80% of the surface compared to 70% for Earth. ...
• Venus' extremely slow rotation rate would result in extremely long days and nights, which could prove difficult for most Earth life to adapt to. ... Alternately, instead of requiring that Venus support life identical to Earth's, Earth life could instead be modified to adapt to the long Venusian day and night. ...
• Geoengineering is the deliberate modification of Earth's environment on a large scale, in a sense "terraforming" Earth itself. Currently a great deal of debate takes place over the notion that human civilization has already inadvertantly modified Earth's climate through the industrial emission of greenhouse gases, and proposals have been made to counter any such effects through further deliberate geoengineering. For example, some have proposed to put large mirrors in orbit which would modify the insolation received by Earth - either increasing or decreasing it, as the need arises. Large-scale sequestration of carbon dioxide inside geological formations or ocean sediment, modification of Earth's albedo with reflective or absorbtive materials spread over portions of its surface, or the alteration of rainfall patterns through the creation of artificial seas are other examples which have been seriously considered. ...

• Gaia theory (science).
• In science, a Gaia theory is a class of scientific models of the biosphere in which life fosters and maintains suitable conditions for itself by affecting Earth's environment. ...
• Meanwhile today, "Gaia theory" is sometimes used among non-scientists to refer to theories of a self-regulating Earth that are non-technical but take inspiration from the scientific models. ...
• Among some scientists "Gaia" carries connotations of scientifically unrigorous quasi-mystical thinking about Earth, and Lovelock's own hypothesis was received initially with much antagonism by the scientific community. ...
• 6 New science.
• Whether this sort of system is present on Earth is still open to debate. ... For example, when atmospheric carbon dioxide levels rise, plants are able to grow better and thus remove more carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, but the extent to which these mechanisms stabilize and modify the Earth's overall climate are not known. ...
• At one end is the undeniable statement that the organisms on the Earth have radically altered its composition. A stronger position is that the Earth's biosphere effectively acts as if it is a self-organizing system which works in such a way as to keep its systems in some kind of equilibrium that is conducive to life. ... Opponents of this view sometimes point to examples of life's actions in the past that have resulted in dramatic change rather than stable equilibrium, such as the conversion of the Earth's atmosphere from a reducing environment to an oxygen-rich one; However, proponents will point out that precisely the atmospheric composition changes created a much more suitable environment to life. ...
• The most extreme form of Gaia theory is that the entire Earth is a single unified organism; in this view the Earth's biosphere is consciously manipulating the climate in order to make conditions more conducive to life. ...
• Much more speculative versions of Gaia, including all versions in which it is held that the Earth is actually conscious or part of some universe-wide evolution, are currently held to be outside the bounds of science. ...
• "a complex entity involving the Earth's biosphere, atmosphere, oceans, and soil; the totality constituting a feedback or cybernetic system which seeks an optimal physical and chemical environment for life on this planet. ...
• Lovelock suggested that life on Earth provides a cybernetic, homeostatic feedback system operated automatically and unconsciously by the biota, leading to stabilization of global temperature and chemical composition. ...
• The global surface temperature of the Earth has remained constant, despite an increase in the energy provided by the sun .
• Since life started on Earth, the energy provided by the sun has increased by 25%; however the surface temperature of the planet has remained constant when measured on a global scale. Furthermore, he argued, the atmospheric composition of the Earth is constant. The Earth's atmosphere consists of 79% nitrogen, 20. ...

• Geography is the study of the locational and spatial variation in both physical and human phenomena on Earth. The word derives from the Greek words gê ("the Earth") and graphein ("to write", as in "to describe"). ...
• It not only investigates what is where on the Earth, but also why it's there and not somewhere else, sometimes referred to as "location in space". ...
• 2 Regional Science.
• The Greeks are the first known culture to actively explore geography as a science and philosophy, with major contributors including Thales of Miletus, Herodotus, Eratosthenes, Hipparchus, Aristotle, Dicaearchus of Messana, Strabo, and Ptolemy. ...
• Regional geographers focused on the collection of descriptive information about places, as well as the proper methods for dividing the earth up into regions. ...
• The quantitative revolution was geography's attempt to redefine itself as a science, in the wake of the revival of interest in science following the launch of Sputnik. ...
• Spatial interrelationships are key to this synoptic science, and it uses maps as a key tool. ...
• This branch focuses on Geography as an Earth science, making use of biology to understand global flora and fauna patterns, and mathematics and physics to understand the motion of the earth and relationship with other bodies in the solar system. ...
• The human, or political/cultural, branch of geography - also called anthropogeography focuses on the social science, non-physical aspects of the way the world is arranged. ...
• Sustainability science has been one important outgrowth of this tradition. ...
• Cartography studies the representation of the Earth's surface with abstract symbols. ... Cartography has grown from a collection of drafting techniques into an actual science. Cartographers must learn cognitive psychology and ergonomics to understand which symbols convey information about the Earth most effectively, and behavioral psychology to induce the readers of their maps to act on the information. They must learn geodesy and fairly advanced mathematics to understand how the shape of the Earth affects the distortion of map symbols projected onto a flat surface for viewing. ...
• Geographic Information Systems deals with the storage of information about the Earth for automatic retrieval by a computer, in an accurate manner appropriate to the information's purpose. In addition to all of the other subdisciplines of geography, GIS specialists must understand computer science and database systems. ...

• Clarke (born December 16, 1917) is an author and inventor, probably most famous for his science fiction novel 2001: A Space Odyssey. ... Clarke about writing a novel for the express purpose of making "the proverbial good science-fiction movie", and the novel was still being written while the film was being made. ...
• As a boy, Clarke enjoyed stargazing and enthusiastically read old American science fiction magazines (magazines which made their way to England as ballast in ships). ...

• 1 Science.
• That is, at that time there were very large and historically sudden changes in science, not only in its content but in its practice and theory. Science, as it is treated in this account, is science essentially as it is understood and practiced in the modern world; there is no concern here with "other narratives" or alternate ways of knowing, or the like. ...
• A striking case for this point of view is presented by the historian of science Howard Margolis as part of a larger (and controversial) theory of the causes of the revolution (Margolis, 2002). It may be summarized in the following lists of significant advances in science: .

• One may reasonably judge that Gilbert and Stevin each discovered more that has proved important for modern science than the combination of everyone who lived during the fourteen centuries between them and Ptolemy. ...
• The idea that the earth moved around the sun, as advocated by Copernicus, was to most of his contemporaries preposterous. ... For suppose the earth turns about its own axis. Then, surely, if we were to drop a stone from a high tower, the earth would rotate beneath it while it fell, thus causing the stone to land some space away from the tower's bottom. ...

• The Importance of Earth Science Education.
• K-12 Earth Science plays a unique and essential role in today's rapidly changing world. It is an integrated study of the Earth's history, composition and structure, its atmosphere and oceans, and its environment in space. A knowledge of Earth Science is important because most human activities are related to interaction with the planet Earth. ...
• Basic knowledge about the Earth, then, is the key to development of an informed citizenry. The reasons for teaching Earth Science are numerous: it offers experience in a diverse range of interrelated scientific disciplines; it is closely related to the students' natural surroundings; and offers students subject matter which has direct application to their lives and the world around them. They need only step outdoors to observe and find relevance in concepts learned in the Earth Science classroom. Because it offers many opportunities to collect data, hypothesize, experiment, and draw conclusions, both within school and outside environments, Earth Science is a laboratory and activity oriented course. Earth Science integrates many principles of both physical and life sciences. It incorporates and presents concepts often not emphasized in other parts of the science curriculum, such as geologic time and the vastness of space. ...
• The teaching of Earth Science allows all students to have a better science background with pertinent information about their surroundings. ... Civilization is absolutely dependent upon utilization of Earth's energy, mineral, and human resource. Awareness of natural phenomena such as floods, tornadoes, hurricanes, volcanoes, and earthquakes also requires a knowledge of Earth Science. ...
• Students who study Earth Science are better prepared to discuss issues and make informed, responsible decisions. The interdisciplinary curriculum of Earth Science develops and builds on skills learned in earlier grades and closely relates to the students' everyday experiences. ... If tomorrow's adults are to make wise decisions about Earth and environmental issues, it is vital that today's students be given the opportunity to study Earth Science at all levels as an integral part of their education as well as an invaluable part of their high school experience. ...
