78 points on the line!!!!! Good science fiction writers sit down to begin a story with lots of questions. Think of one aspect of space or space travel you would like to know more about, and write down three questions. Conduct an Internet search to find your answers. If you were writing a fictional tale of space travel, what details would you add to the facts you’ve discovered? Would you invent new creatures, new technologies, or even a new universe? Use your imagination and create a cartoon advertisement, like the newsprint above, for your own science fiction story. Include three FACTS about space travel within your advertisement.

Answer:

aspect: aliens

Step-by-step explanation:

3 questions: 1) are they real? 2) where do they live? 3) how do they use technology in space like a UFO?

Answers: Are they real? Of course, we won't know whether extraterrestrials are real until they get in touch with us or we find evidence of their existence. And even if we do find alien life, it might be in the form of bacteria or other microorganisms, rather than fully fledged intelligent beings. 2) where do they live? in outer space or another galaxy. 3) how do they use technology in space like a UFO? "We know we're here. We know humans exist. We know that we've had a long evolutionary history on this planet. And we know our technology is going to be more advanced in the future. I think the simplest explanation, innately, is that it is us. I'm just trying to offer what is likely the most parsimonious explanation."

If you were writing a fictional tale of space travel, what details would you add to the facts you’ve discovered? Hard sci-fi novels are based on scientific fact. They’re inspired by “hard” natural sciences like physics, chemistry, and astronomy. Soft sci-fi novels can be two things: Either they are not scientifically accurate or they’re inspired by “soft” social sciences like psychology, anthropology, and sociology.

Would you invent new creatures, new technologies, or even a new universe? I would invent many new creatures, technologies and a new universe.

3 facts:

There may be a planet made out of diamonds.

As space facts go, this is pretty impressive. Research by Yale University scientists suggests that a rocky planet called 55 Cancri e — which has a radius twice Earth’s, and a mass eight times greater – may have a surface made up of graphite and diamond. It’s 40 light years away but visible to the naked eye in the constellation of Cancer.

In 3.75 billion years the Milky Way and Andromeda galaxies will collide.

The Andromeda Galaxy is approaching the Milky Way – where our solar system is – at rate of around 110 kilometres per second (68 mi/s) and eventually the two will collide to form a giant elliptical galaxy.

The largest known asteroid is 965 km (600 mi) wide.

Discovered by Italian astronomer Giuseppe Piazzi in 1801, the dwarf planet Ceres was the first, and largest, object to be considered an asteroid. It is located in the Asteroid Belt between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter and accounts for 33% of the entire belt’s mass.

i hoped this helped!
