The radio emission of a planet was first detected in 1955, when Burke and Franklin ( 1955 ) identified the origin of interference-like radio noise on their records at about 15 meters wave length as emission from Jupiter.

These terms have historically been applied to any astronomical object orbiting the Sun that did not show the disk of a planet and was not observed to have the characteristics of an active comet, but as small objects in the outer Solar System were discovered, their volatile-based surfaces were found to more closely resemble comets, and so were often distinguished from traditional asteroids.

* In the Star Wars prequels, the galactic capital planet Coruscant has buildings many miles tall, and approaches the completely built-over condition of Trantor in Isaac Asimov's classic Foundation trilogy ( Note: due to this, Coruscant was originally to be named Jhantor but was eventually renamed Coruscant ).

The planet Neptune was discovered in Capricornus by German astronomer Johann Galle, near Deneb Algedi ( δ Capricorni ) on September 23, 1846, which is appropriate as Capricornus can be seen best from Europe at 4: 00am in September.

Early in the Cenozoic, following the K-Pg event, the planet was dominated by relatively small fauna, including small mammals, birds, reptiles, and amphibians.

he added: Closely examined, painstakingly studied, she is easily the most interesting person on the planet, and in several ways as easily the most extraordinary woman that was ever born upon it.

While a young researcher working for the Lowell Observatory in Flagstaff, Arizona, Tombaugh was given the job to perform a systematic search for a trans-Neptunian planet ( also called Planet X ), which had been predicted by Percival Lowell and William Pickering.

This ruled out classification as an asteroid, and they decided this was the ninth planet that Lowell had predicted.

The name " Pluto " was reportedly suggested by Venetia Burney, then an 11-year-old English school girl, who died in April 2009, having lived to see the reclassification of Pluto as a dwarf planet.

It was the first comet observed to be orbiting a planet, and had probably been captured by the planet around 20 – 30 years earlier.

Brian Marsden of the Central Bureau for Astronomical Telegrams noted that the comet lay only about 4 degrees from Jupiter as seen from Earth, and that while this could of course be a line of sight effect, its apparent motion in the sky suggested that it was physically close to the giant planet.

Its orbit around Jupiter was very loosely bound, with a period of about 2 years and an apojove ( the point in the orbit farthest from the planet ) of.

Its orbit around the planet was highly eccentric ( e = 0. 9986 ).

While the impacts took place on the side of Jupiter hidden from Earth, Galileo, then at a distance of 1. 6 AU from the planet, was able to see the impacts as they occurred.

A few minutes after the impact fireball was detected, Galileo measured renewed heating, probably due to ejected material falling back onto the planet.

* Cybergirl Cybergirl is a cyber replicant prototype 6000, a " cyborg " from a distant planet who ran away to explore the beings she was created after, human beings.

* In the Stargate Atlantis fifth season episode " Remnants ", a device is found whose purpose was to seed a planet with silicon-based life.

It is later revealed that Tiberium was introduced to Earth by the Scrin, an extremely advanced race of Tiberium-based aliens bent on mining the planet after the Tiberium deposits have reached maturity.

Two impacts 12 hours apart on July 19 created impact marks of similar size to that caused by fragment G, and impacts continued until July 22, when fragment W struck the planet.

In order to have boltholes or decoys in case of attack, the Time Lords have created nine separate planet Gallifreys ( it even hinted that the original Gallifrey may at some point be reduced to ruins ) and special looms to constantly produce new soldiers.

Originating in the Superman radio show series, the material is usually shown as having been created from the radioactive remains of Superman's native planet Krypton, and generally has detrimental effects on Superman and other Kryptonians.

Mars is shown as being previously inhabited by an ancient race of aliens who created a machine for producing a breathable atmosphere and later terraforming the planet.

The first known states were created in Ancient Egypt, Mesopotamia, India, China, the Americas ( e. g. Aztec civilization, Inca civilization ) and others, but it is only in relatively modern times that states have almost completely displaced alternative " stateless " forms of political organization of societies all over the planet.

Circa stardate 2534. 0 ( 2266 ), in the Original Series episode " Patterns of Force ," cultural observer and historian John Gill openly created a regime based on Nazi Germany on a primitive planet in a misguided effort to create a society which combined what he ( mistakenly ) viewed as the high efficiency of a fascist dictatorship with a more benign philosophy, thereby contaminating the normal and healthy development of the planet's culture.

The natural satellites orbiting relatively close to the planet on prograde, uninclined circular orbits ( regular satellites ) are generally believed to have been formed out of the same collapsing region of the protoplanetary disk that created its primary.

In the alternate reality presented by the 2009 film Star Trek, the planet Vulcan is destroyed in the year 2258 by an artificial black hole created by the Narada, a Romulan mining vessel from the future, killing most of its six billion inhabitants.

A digital elevation model is a digital model or 3D representation of a terrain's surface — commonly for a planet ( including Earth ), moon, or asteroid — created from terrain elevation data.

* New Earth ( Planet Bob )-The Earth-like planet created in the Titan AE animated movie.

Fascinated by the presence of superheroes on Earth and their potential, this entity chooses a group of both heroes and supervillains and teleports characters against their will to " Battleworld ", a planet created by the Beyonder in a distant galaxy.

Though Romana reveals that the equipment will bring him back after 2 minutes, the Doctor asserts that it is enough time for Scaroth to stop the explosion of the Jagaroth ship, itself the source of the spark of energy that created the beginnings of life on Earth ; should Scaroth prevent the explosion, every native living being on the planet will never have existed.

Eventually this is done on a massive scale, with thousands of types of GE algae, lichen and bacteria being created to terraform the planet.

Ometecuhtli and Omecihuatl were the creators of the life, but he created them and the planet.

Pern is a fictional planet created by Anne McCaffrey for the Dragonriders of Pern series of science fiction books.

Hence, the current dust disk must have been created by collisions or other effects of larger parent bodies, and the disk represents a late stage in the planet formation process of this star.

If the planet Epsilon Eridani b exists then this belt is unlikely to have had a source outside the orbit of the planet, so the dust may have been created by fragmentation and cratering of larger bodies such as asteroids.

Current models of planet formation cannot easily explain how a planet could have been created at this distance from the star.

Skaro is a fictional planet from the British science fiction television series Doctor Who created by the writer Terry Nation as the home planet of the Daleks and, at times, the centre of the Dalek Empire.
