We have no idea yet the extent of life in the universe beyond earth. This may be the only place in all of time that will harbor life, although many doubt this. It is probably not a good idea to send microorganisms out at this time, before we thoroughly study a place first. If we do that, we will make it harder to determine if there was any life there before we started meddling. Despite our best efforts, it is probably inevitable that we will pollute many other places with organisms as we explore. I think that before long (in a few centuries) we ourselves will become the "polluting organisms" that we send across the galaxy and the universe. I think this too is inevitable (if we can keep from blowing ourselves up) and it is ultimately a good thing.
Those are both poorly worded versions of the same question. The question should read:"Does the universe have nine planets?"And the answer is:"No. The Universe has trillions and trillions of planets, but our solar system has eight planets."
As of the 28th of January,2010, 429 exoplanets have been discovered. Exoplanets are those planets that orbit a star other than our Sun.Add that to the 8 planets in our solar system and you get a total of 437 planets discovered.
I'm not sure where you got that idea, but there is certainly not only one moon in the universe. Our planet only has one moon, but most planets have several moons. You should do a search online for moons and look at some examples.
It is important because kids should know about what is in our universe and what happens. All people should know about our universe.
By its definition, the Zodiac is where in the sky you should look for the planets.

Our theories of physics indicate that the speed of light should be invariant (unchanging) anywhere in the universe.

The fundamental assumption of astronomers is that we are not special. There is no reasons that our sun should produce planets and no other star should produce planets. Specifically, our star is a very common star and there are billions and billions of stars exactly like it. Also, stars that are not too like ours should still be able to birth planets; and have been found to.
We can only speculate. man should continue to adapt until our Sun burns out. When minerals are depleted here, we will mine them from other planets. I think eventually we will colonize.
because heliocentric means " sun is the center of the universe" and geocentric means "earth is the center of the universe" so if you know about the solar system you should know that the sun is the center of the solar system
Based on recent observations, it seems that there is AT LEAST one planet for every star. That doesn't necessarily mean that every star must necessarily have a planet, but to compensate, some stars have several; and it is expected that on average, there should be more planets than stars.Note that we don't know how large the Universe is - it may or may not be infinite. The numbers usually quoted refer to the OBSERVABLE Universe - a sphere around us, with a radius of about 46 billion light-years.
Culture media should be specific to avoid contamination of unwanted microorganisms and to obtain a pure culture of microorganisms.
We now know that there are many planets, even outside our solar system. There are probably millions, at least, of planets in the universe capable of supporting life, and many of them may actually support life forms at least as advanced as our own. This is not about science fiction and it is not preparing us for contact with 'aliens' - it is just fact.And if there are so many planets in the universe, and so many other intelligent beings, it should be arrogant to believe that the universe was created by a god known only to us, or that it was just for our own pleasure.
to kill microorganisms
Yes - all planets names begin with a capital letter.
