Sponsored by Swinburne Astronomy Online at http://astronomy.swin.edu.au/sao/ Join +Fraser Cain and +Pamela Gay for a live episode of Astronomy Cast. We'll record our 30-minute show, and then stick around to answer your questions about space and astronomy. Astronomy Cast Ep. 376: Miller-Urey Experiment Evolution explains how life adapts and evolves over eons. But how did life originate? Chemists Miller and Urey put the raw chemicals of life into a solution, applied an electric charge, and created amino acids - the building blocks of life.

A planet should be a place you can walk (or hop) around on (even if you have to do it in an aircraft), has a horizon, and does not experience nuclear fusion in the core, regardless of the body it orbits. I think even the Moon should be considered a planet, but also carry the title of moon, which would be any object orbiting a planet. This way you can classify moons between "Planet-moons" such as Titan, Moon, Europa, "asteroid-moons" such as Phobos, Deimos, Hyperion and "Artifact-moons" such as Dawn, LRO, MRO, Cassini, Messenger.
