Ever wondered if there is life outside the earth? Do aliens or extra-terrestrial beings really exist? How do stars look like at close distance? What would it be like to live in Mars and stroll on the moon?

Why not study astronomy to answer these questions? I'm sure most of you out there have dreamed of becoming an astronauts or astronomer one day. Having been raised in the generation of "Star Wars," and "Startrek," many people of my age, and yours as well, have sure wondered at least once in their lives on the ways of exploring the universe. The dream of conquering the vast, unknown realm started with simple star gazing and wildlife night camping -- wishing on each falling star our eyes would catch. The wonders of the world -- at least, outside our world -- are great sources of much fascination and dreaming.

Come primary and secondary school, we were all the more exposed to the mystery of the universe. We treated our Science subjects with much interest and liking mostly because of discussions on the solar system and what lies beyond it. Slowly, we were introduced to the magical world of astronomy.

Astronomy mainly deals with planets, stars, comets, systems, and galaxies. It is also the study of phenomena happening outside the Earth's atmosphere, outside of the world we know. It is also regarded by others as an attempt to fully discover and fathom the formation, definitive evolution, and development of the universe. This science is one of the oldest known disciplines to have called as science. The ancient Greeks were the first one who dared study and discover the realm outside our world. They devised and practiced their own scientific methodology and observation techniques to unravel the entities beyond the sky we see here on earth. Through time, ambitious and daredevil amateur astronomers have greatly contributed to the many important astronomical discoveries that, in turn, have served as foundations of what astronomy is nowadays.

In its childhood years, astronomy was limited only to observing and predicting the activities of the outside world through the naked eyes. Aristotle's cosmic explanation was the first to somehow shed the light on the mysteries of the universe. His proposition that the earth is the center of the universe and all others are moving around it was the first to be accepted as true and valid. For hundreds of years, millions have subscribed to this theory and most of the further studies undertaken were hinged on it. It was not until the *Renaissance period* that a more sound explanation became available. Nicolaus Copernicus came up with the heliocentric model of the solar system. His proposition argued that the sun, and not the earth as claimed by Aristotle, is the center of the universe. Albeit his proposition generated much opposition, he was staunchly defended by Galileo Galilei and Johannes Kepler. Galileo even added the innovation of using telescopes to enhance his observations. Kepler, on the other hand, was the first to devise a system, which described correctly the details of the motion of the planets with the Sun at the center.

These are just some of the basic knowledge we learned about astronomy. For some circumstances beyond control, our quest to further study the universe took a halt when we entered college and focused on our respective fields of interests. But it is never too late to rekindle an old passion. Once an astronomy enthusiast, always an astronomy enthusiast. I, for one, had some sort of reunion with my childhood fascination about the world outside our world. I was actually surprised to find out for myself that there are many ideas and concepts on astronomy that I still don't understand that well. Without second thought, I browsed through the internet and did some self-studying. I even came across to an online college course on astronomy.

Bizarre travel guide
mansi gupta
Carrying a travel bag and looking around the places of historical and sculptural importance. Is that what you conceive as a holiday? If yes you haven't seen or heard enough. The traveling experience can be more than rewarding if the choice of the places to visit is bizarre. And more so going to those untouched places can be one hell-of an experience. May be it is going in to the wilderness of the Amazon or the endless Kalahari, the fun never ends. Some places definitely provide more then you can ask for.

For those who have seen all the obvious and usual places to visit these can be the fun trips. Hunting vampires in Transylvania or getting close to the sharks at the sea, every thing that you never thought about makes the trips one to remember. The popularity of these goes to the extreme thinking of the tourists and the efforts of the tour organizers. The trips include many out of the world experiences. One of them is the storm chase. It's like trying to cut through the storm risking all you have for the thrill of the lifetime.

Many may think it unusual but many people consider hunting for Unidentified Flying Objects as there idea of an adventure trip. People cite the UFO's and then the most common places to find them are prepared for the tourist and wait for them to return. This also comes, sometimes with unusual alien citing which add the extra thrill to the adventure. The much known area 51 is on the list of such enthusiasts and they claim to have made visits. Museums and memorials dedicated to the alien s and their things are there at many places across the United States.

The scientific advancements are giving hope to the concept of H. G. Wells regarding time travel. The tourists definitely would like to venture into some adventure, which can take them to the past. This seems a bit too complicated but this is fast becoming the most sought after concept and people are willing to pay for the same. There are risks attached to it and there seems to be a lot of time that remains before this thing to get materialized; yet the craving is never-ending.

Another adventure that the people have been indulging into for years is the treasure hunts. In the pursuit of hidden treasures many people venture in to the deepest of seas and the innermost of the forests looking for them. Even the mystery of the Bermuda triangle is also intriguing and the tourists don't want to miss a chance to go there. Well, to do that one has to make a trip and go because no tour operator will take the risk.

Then the latest in bizarre adventure list is the concept of space travel. With the theories regarding possibilities of life on other planets people are willing to go to outer space for the trips of there life time. This is one of the possible traveling ideas because it has been experimented and people have actually been to space for a trip. The space tourism seems to be the nest thing in traveling brochures.

So say goodbye to the customized tours and pack your bags for some bizarre traveling experiences.
