Aliens

ALIENS are the non-known creatures. Or imaginary creatures.
These are no any type on the basis of earth, 'cause anyone is not know the Alien.
One night two men walking on the road, they have a torch, some time later they saw two creatures, they given light of torch on them, creatures are far away them about 2 foot. Suddenly the torch became inactive, and the creatures are gone. In the morning, the two men are very frightened and not in the situation of telling anything.
There are many films on the Aliens-
The Alien-
Originally to be directed by Walter Hill, but he pulled out and gave the job to Ridley Scott.
Veronica Cartwright was originally to play Ripley, but producers opted for Sigourney Weaver.An early draft of the script had a male Ripley.Conceptual artist H.R. Giger's designs were changed several times because of their blatant sexuality.Roger Dicken, who designed and operated the "face hugger" and the "chest burster," had originally wanted the latter to pull itself out of Kane's torso with its own little hands, a sequence he felt would have produced a much more horrifying effect than the gratuitous blood and guts in the release print.Much of the dialogue was ad-libbed.In the scene where Dallas, Kane and Lambert are leaving the ship, the actual actors walking past the Nostromo's landing struts are three children (two of whom were Ridley Scott's children dressed in scaled down spacesuits). This has the effect of making the ship look bigger. H.R. Giger complained about the scene because he had not finished painting the space jockey.The front (face) part of the alien costume's head is made from a cast of a real human skull.Ridley Scott is reportedly quoted as saying that originally he wanted a much darker ending. He planned on having the alien bite off Ripley's head in the escape shuttle, sit in her chair, and then start speaking with her voice in a message to Earth. Apparently, 20th Century Fox wasn't too pleased with such a dark ending.During production an attempt was made to make the alien character transparent or at least translucent.Three aliens were made: a model and two suits. One of the suits was for the seven foot tall Masai tribesman Bolajo Bolaji, and the other was for a trained stunt man.The models had to be repainted every evening of the shoot because the slime used on-set removed the acrylic paint from their surfaces.The rumor that the cast, except for John Hurt, did not know what would happen during the "chestburster" scene is partly true. The scene had been explained for them, but they did not know specifics. For example, Veronica Cartwright did not expect to be sprayed with blood.The thin layer of mist that "notified the eggs" was made possible using a pulsating laser and smoke, borrowed from the band The Who."Nostromo" is the title of a Joseph Conrad book. The shuttle that Ripley escapes on is called the "Narcissus", a reference to another Conrad book. See also Aliens (1986).The vector graphics that appear on Ripley's screen showing the undocking sequence for the Nostromo were also used for the aircar launch sequence in Blade Runner (1982)).Extra scenes filmed but not included, due to pacing problems:
Ripley finds Dallas and Brett cocooned. Dallas is covered in maggots and begs Ripley to kill him. She does so with a flamethrower.
Ripley and Lambert discuss whether Ash has sex or not.
Alternative death scene for Brett: Ripley and Parker come across an alive Brett being lifted from the ground. Many of the non-English versions of the film's title translate as something similar to "Alien: The 8th Passenger".The alien's habit of laying eggs in the stomach (which then burst out) was inspired by the spider wasp (ichneumonid) that lays its eggs in the abdomen of spiders. This image gave Dan Obannon nightmares, which he used in creating the story.A lawsuit by A.E. van Vogt, claiming plagiarism of his 1939 story "Discord in Scarlet" (which he had also incorporated in the 1950 novel "Voyage of the Space Beagle"), was settled out of court.A sex scene between Dallas and Ripley was in the script, but was not filmed.The laserdisc release features a separate section with the scenes not included in the theatrical release. This is the new material:
After being awakened from hypersleep, Kane wanders out to the kitchen to prepare breakfast; he says "Rise and shine Lambert".
The crew gathers on the bridge and listens to the signal coming from the derelict craft.
Lambert confronts Ripley about Ripley's reluctance to let them back on the ship with Kane and the facehugger. Lambert tells Ripley, Parker and Brett how the face hugger got on Kane.
Ripley radios down to Parker and Brett to see how they're progressing on the repairs, Parker and Ripley exchange tense words over the radio.
After the face hugger's acid eats through a few floors, the crew returns to the med lab to check up on Kane's condition. Ripley sees an X-Ray of Kane's chest and asks Ash, "What is that dark stain on Kane's lung?" The rest of the crew starts asking if Kane's going to live, Dallas tells everyone to go back to work.
After Kane's death, the crew gathers around at the meal table to discuss what they're going to do with the escaped alien. Brett announces the cattle-prod idea and suggests "catching" the alien in a net.
Longer version of Brett's death. This scene had Brett frozen with fear as the alien grabs his head; he yells "Parker!" and then blood pours from beneath his cap. The alien lifts him up into the landing gear and Ripley and Parker come rushing in. Parker stands where Brett once was and looks up. Blood drips on his shirt and then Brett's cattle prod falls to Parker's feet.
Part of a scene that involves Parker, Ripley and Lambert trying to flush the alien out of the air lock. As they are about to succeed, an alarm is triggered and the alien rushes out of the airlock (getting its tail caught in the closing door, and spilling acid that causes a hull breach). Parker falls unconsciously to the floor, Ripley does the same and Lambert and Ash come to their rescue. Ripley vocalizes her suspicions about Ash by accusing him of setting the alarm off.
After Dallas's disappearance, Ripley (being suspicious of Ash) asks Lambert if she's ever slept with him.
The build-up to Lambert's death is much longer. (Watch the alien's shadow on the wall, it walks in, crouches down, then immediately gets up) A scene where we see the alien enter, crouch down and wait until Lambert notices its presence was cut. When Lambert sees the alien, it uncoils its tail and walks (like a crab) over to Lambert.
After Ripley discovers the remains of Parker and Lambert, she makes another discovery. Ripley enters the landing gear area of the Nostromo (where Brett got killed) and discovers a cocooned Dallas and Brett mutating into an egg. Dallas pleads, "Kill me". Ripley flames Dallas and the Brett-egg and then runs to set the ship on self-destruct. The latest video release of Alien in Norway has been severely cut. There are no indications given on the cassette box that this has been done. Total playing time missing is about 15 minutes. Key noticeable scene cuts include Kane's apparent revival, and subsequent chest bursting scene; Ash's demise.The picture and the Dolby Digital soundtrack used to make the THX laserdisc were mastered from the 70 mm release version. The soundtrack contains therefore some alternate dialogue, rough sound editing, different/enhanced sound effects, and is missing some dialogue that was contained on the Dolby Stereo sound mix of the 35 mm version.


Asteroids


THE ASTEROIDS

The asteroids are the rock pieces in the cosmic veccum. These came in atmosphere and burns, known as Meteors. All meteors can't reaches to Earth, but which reaches, known as Meteorites. Also known as burning star. Has two types- meteors and shooting stars. The meteors, which which reaches earth in burning situation, known as shooting stars, due to they hit earth in speed, but meteorites are under gravitational force rocks.



Some facts about asteroids are-


Asteroids are like tiny, rocky planets that orbit the sun. Most asteroids can be found in the space between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. This area is known as the Asteroid Belt. Asteroids are sometimes referred to as minor planets. The larger asteroids, in particular, can be referred to as dwarf planets. Mars's two moons are believed to be of asteroid origins.
The Largest Asteroids
The largest known asteroid is also, not surprisingly, the first one that was found. It is named Ceres and was first sighted by the Italian astronomer Giuseppe Piazzi on January 1, 1801. The name Ceres comes from the goddess of grain. Ceres is 933 kilometers across, which is similar in size to Pluto's moon, Charon. The asteroids were numbered as they were found, therefore, Ceres is sometimes called 1 Ceres.
The next largest asteroids were also found back in the 1800s. Some of the other large asteroids are 2 Pallas, 3 Juno, 4 Vesta, and 10 Hygiea. There are hundreds of thousands of asteroids in size from about 10 kilometers up to Ceres, but possibly millions that are 1 kilometer and smaller.


Asteroid Composition
Asteroids are divided into three main categories: C-type, S-type, and M-type. The C-type includes the majority of asteroids: these are dark, carbonaceous chondrites composed of materials similar to that of the sun. The S-type includes about 15% of asteroids that contain a metal mix, such as nickel-iron with magnesium. The last category into which most asteroids fall, the M-type, are pure nickel-iron. Both of these last two classifications that contain metal are brighter and easier to spot.
Most asteroids are commonly thought to be loose masses of rock that have bumped into each other during orbit and stuck through a common center of gravity. The pieces are believed to be leftover from the formation of the solar system. Because of this construction, the mass of most asteroids is very low. The largest asteroid, Ceres, is believed to have nearly half the mass of all objects in the Asteroid Belt.


Asteroids and their "Impact" on Earth
Asteroids have, quite literally, had a large impact on Earth. The Barringer Crater in Arizona was made by an impact from a space rock around 50,000 years ago. A wide swath of Siberian forest was flattened by a meteor exploding in Earth's atmosphere in 1908; this is known as the Tunguska Event. A large space rock that hit the Yucatan Peninsula region millions of years ago is thought to have contributed to the demise of the dinosaurs.

Planet

Planets are the living source but only some planets are have life.
Our planet the Earth is situated in the Solar system which in only planet consist of life in about 9 planets. Planets, their satellites and their discovers are-
MERCURY- Named Mercurius by the Romans because it appears to move so swiftly.
VENUS- Roman name for the goddess of love. This planet was considered to be the
brightest and most beautiful planet or star in the heavens. Other
civilizations have named it for their god(ess) of love/war.
MOON- Every civilization has had a name for the satellite of Earth that is known, in
English, as the Moon. The name is of Anglo-Saxon derivation.
MARS- Named by the Romans for their god of war because of its red--bloodlike--color.
Other civilizations also named this planet from this attribute; for example,
the Egyptians named it "Her Desher," meaning "the red one."
Phobos Inner satellite of Mars; named in 1877 by the discoverer, Asaph Hall, for one
of the horses that drew Mars' chariot; also called an "attendant" or "son" of
Mars, according to chapter 15, line 119 of Homer's "Iliad." This Greek word
means "fear."
Deimos Outer Martian satellite, also named by Asaph Hall for one of Mars'
horses/sons/companions; the word means "fear" or "terror" in Greek.
JUPITER- The largest and most massive of the planets was named Zeus by the Greeks and
Jupiter by the Romans; he was the most important deity in both pantheons.
Metis First wife of Zeus. He swallowed her when she became pregnant; Athena was
subsequently born from the forehead of Zeus. Discovered by Synnott in 1979/80.
Adrastea A nymph of Crete to whose care Rhea entrusted the infant Zeus. Discovered by
Jewitt et al. in 1979.
Amalthea Discovered by E. E. Barnard in 1892, who eventually chose a name suggested by
Flammarian for the satellite. Amalthea (a goat in some accounts, a princess of
Crete in others) suckled Zeus (Jupiter) as a young child.
Thebe A nymph abducted by Zeus; she is the namesake of the Greek city of Thebes.
Discovered by Synnott in 1979/80.
Io Galileo discovered Io, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto, in 1610. Simon Marius'
claim to discovery of the Jovian satellites shortly before Galileo was not
accepted. Galileo suggested that the four be known as "Medicea Sidera" to honor
his patron, but the name was not accepted by other astronomers. Instead, they
chose names given the four satellites by Marius in 1613; the names were of four
of Jupiter's illicit loves. (Galileo refused to accept Marius' names; instead
he identified the moons by Roman numerals, a secondary designation system that
has been adopted for all satellite systems to the present.) Io, the daughter
of Inachus, was changed by Jupiter into a cow to protect her from Hera's
jealous wrath, but Hera recognized Io and sent a gadfly to torment her. Io,
maddened by the fly, wandered throughout the Mediterranean region.
Europa Beautiful daughter of Agenor, king of Tyre, she was seduced by Jupiter, who had
assumed the shape of a white bull. When Europa climbed on his back he swam
with her to Crete, where she bore several children, including Minos.
Ganymede Beautiful young boy who was carried to Olympus by Jupiter disguised as an
eagle. Ganymede then became the cupbearer of the Olympian gods.
Callisto Beautiful daughter of Lycaon, she was seduced by Jupiter, who changed her into
a bear to protect her from Hera's jealousy.
Leda Seduced by Zeus in the form of a swan, she was the mother of Pollux and Helen.
Discovered by Kowal in 1974.
Himalia Discovered by Perrine in 1904.
Lysithia Discovered by Nicholson in 1938.
Elara A paramour of Zeus; mother of the giant Tityus. Discovered by Perrine in 1904/5.
Ananke Moira, daughter of Zeus and Themis, as the goddess of necessity. Discovered by
Nicholson in 1951.
Carme A nymph and attendant of Artemis; mother, by Zeus, of Britomartis. Discovered
by Nicholson in 1938.
Pasiphaƫ Wife of Minos; mother of the Minotaur. Discovered by Melotte in 1908.
Sinope Daughter of the river god Asopus and Merope; she was abducted by Apollo.
Discovered by Nicholson in 1914.
SATURN- Roman name for the Greek Cronos, father of Zeus/Jupiter. Other civilizations
have given other names to Saturn, which is the farthest planet from Earth that
can be observed by the naked human eye. Most of its satellites were named for
Titans who, according to Greek mythology, were brothers and sisters of Saturn.
Pan Son of Hermes and Dryope; half human, half goat god of pastoralism.
Atlas A Titan; he held the heavens on his shoulders. Discovered by R. Terrile in 1980.
Prometheus Brother of Atlas and Epimetheus; he gave many gifts to humanity, including
fire. Discovered by S. Collins and others in 1980.
Pandora Made of clay by Hephaestus at the request of Zeus; she married Epimetheus and
opened the box that loosed a host of plagues upon humanity. Discovered by S.
Collins and others in 1980.
Janus Discovered by Audouin Dollfus in 1966, this small satellite was later proven
to have a twin, Epimetheus, sharing the same orbit but never actually meeting.
It is named for the two-faced Roman god who could look forward and backward at
the same time.
Epimetheus Discovered by the Voyager team in 1981 and named by them for the Greek
backward-looking god.
Mimas Discovered by William Herschel in 1798 and named by his son, John in the early
19th century for a Titan felled by Hephaestus (or Ares) in the war between the
Titans and Olympian gods.
Enceladus Also discovered by William Herschel in 1798 and named by his son, John for the
Titan Enceladus. Enceladus was crushed by Athene in the battle between the
Olympian gods and the Titans; earth piled on top of him became the island of
Sicily.
Tethys Discovered in 1684 by Cassini, who wished to name it and the other three
satellites that he discovered (Dione, Rhea, and Iapetus) for Louis XIV.
However, the names used today for these satellites were applied in the early
19th century by John Herschel, who named them for Titans and Titanesses,
brothers and sisters of Saturn. Tethys was the wife of Oceanus and
mother of all rivers and Oceanids.
Telesto One of 3000 Oceanides, water nymphs born to Oceanus and Tethys. Discovered by
B. Smith and others, 1980.
Calypso A daughter of Atlas and paramour of Odysseus. Discovered by B. Smith and
others, 1980.
Dione Discovered by Cassini in 1684. Dione was the sister of Cronos and mother (by
Zeus) of Aphrodite.
Helene Discovered by P. Laques and J. Lecacheux, 1980.
Rhea Discovered by Cassini in 1672 and named for another of Cronos' sisters, Rhea
was also his wife. Her youngest son was Zeus.
Titan Discovered and named in 1665 by Huygens, who first called it "Luna Saturni."
Hyperion Discovered by C. and G.P. Bond and by William Lassell on the same night in
1848; named by Lassell for one of the Titans.
Iapetus Discovered by Cassini in 1671 and named by John Herschel for one of the Titans.
Phoebe Discovered and named by William H. Pickering of Harvard University in 1898.
URANUS- Uranus was discovered by William Herschel in 1781. Several astronomers,
including Flamsteed and Le Monnier, had observed it earlier but had recorded
it as a fixed star. Herschel tried unsuccessfully to name his discovery
"Georgian Sidus" after George III; the planet was named by Johann Bode in 1781
for the father of Saturn.

Caliban's mother in Shakespeare's "The Tempest." This name has provisional
approval.
NEPTUNE- Neptune was actually "observed" as early as 1690 by John Flamsteed, who thought it was a fixed star. It was "predicted" by John Couch Adams and Urbain Le
Verrier who, independently, were able to account for the irregularities in the
motion of Uranus by correctly predicting the orbital elements of a trans-
Uranian body. Using the predicted parameters of these two men, Johann Galle
observed the planet in 1846. Galle wanted to name the planet for Le Verrier,
but that was not acceptable to the international astronomical community.
Naiad The name of a group of Greek water nymphs who were guardians of lakes,
fountains, springs and rivers.

Poseidon (Neptune) and Amphitrite. The first suggestion of the name Triton has
been attributed to the French astronomer Camille Flammarion.
Nereid Discovered by G. P. Kuiper at the McDonald Observatory in 1949. The Nereids were
the fifty daughters of Nereus and Doris and were attendants of
Neptune.
PLUTO- Discovered in 1930 by American astronomer Clyde W. Tombaugh at Lowell Observatory
in Flagstaff, AZ during a systematic search for a trans-Neptune planet predicted
by Percival Lowell and William H. Pickering. Named after Greek god of the under-
world who was able to render himself invisible.
Charon Discovered in 1978 by 2 American astronomers, James W. Christy and Robert S.
Harrington. Named after the mythological boatman who ferried souls across the
river Styx to Pluto for judgement. Now it is not a planet 'cause it is small, if we see all planets line by line, we observe that-
1. Small 2. Small 3. Small 4. Big 5. Big 6. Big 7. Big 8. Big 9. Small.
