About Earth
Earth is the third planet from the Sun and the only astronomical object known to harbor life. According to radiometric dating and other sources of evidence, Earth formed over 4. 5 billion years ago. Earth's gravity interacts with other objects in space, especially the Sun and the Moon, Earth's only natural satellite.

Victor Vescovo: adventurer deepest ocean, reaching locations
US adventurer Victor Vescovo has to visit the First Person to the deepest points in each ocean.
His fifth and last dive in a prototype submersible pump was made to the bottom of The Arctic Molloy ditch, some 5. 5km (3. 4 miles) below the surface of The Sea .
This was followed by dives during The Last 10 months, the bottom of The Pacific , Indian and Southern Atlantic ocean.
The Millionaire financier team also visited The Wreck .
All Mr Vescovo, the dives were with the 12-ton Deep-Sea Vehicle (DSV) as a Limiting factor, starts and from a dedicated support ship, the DSSV pressure drop, ironically, a one-time navy U-boat hunter.
The Last stage " was completed on 24 August, when the explorer reached a place known as the Molloy hole, about 275km (170 miles) West of Norway's Svalbard archipelago.
The recorded depth of the solo dive was 5,550 m, plus or minus 14m. It is the First Time that a man was at this location.
Mr Vescovo spoke of his joy and deep gratitude to the people who had worked with him.
"These things need to be done," he told Bbc News . "I come from a philosophy that says, we are not here only to survive, or to be only to be comfortable - But to make a contribution in some way. And the way that I chose, was to find some adventure while you do something that could move us as a species. "
The former US Marine reservist wealth and to previously led him directly to the two poles and climbing the highest mountains on each continent. But it is obvious when you speak with him, he is completely absorbed by the science, he is relieved.
in the course of the global tour, researchers for More Than 100 landers provided. These frames are orchestrated to sink to The Sea floor and record what you feel and see on the way down, and on The Sea floor.
VSSV pressure drop has collected a large amount of bathymetric (depth) dataThe Five Deep-science team says it has More Than 40 new species in The Process . A large catalog of biological and water samples analysis expected in the laboratory, including a unique series of ground-water samples are retrieved for each of The Five cave visited.
Dr. Alan Jamieson is the expedition of the "chief scientist". He stressed that the measurements of salinity, temperature and depth, were of the sub and the lander.
"You seem on the way down and on the way to the top, and if you add up the metres, we measured in - it works in 1. 5 million m of water," he said. This will help researchers to better understand ocean circulation, which is necessary in order to improve the computer models that project future climate scenarios.
"We have added a few measurements from the deepest parts of the oceans, under 6,000 m," Newcastle University , UK, a marine biologist.
The DSSV pressure drop mapped the bottom of The Sea , how it crosses The Five oceans. This bathymetric (depth) data covers about 300,000 square kilometres - an area equivalent to Italy.
This is attempted to be donated to an international project, a diagram of the entire global ocean by 2030. Currently, less than 20% has been assigned to an acceptable resolution.
But has shown Five Deep Expedition also, in principle, the ability, the latest deep-sea technology.
The Hope is that the DSV Limiting is factor now, many more followed such vehicles.
"I think what has done, Victor, is remarkable, and the others are going to continue what he has started, go back to some of these places and spend more time," said Patrick Lahey, co-founder of Triton submarines built, the Limiting factor.
"You're starting to see more privately funded Marine Research carried out by wealthy individuals bought the subs they thought they would drug the use of as a party, But now use to give full scientific expeditions, to the people like Al Jamieson of a platform. "
It is no surprise that Victor Vescovo visor goes in the room; he is actively talking to those who could help him.
But , he is far from done with The Sea -research and expects to in the coming Year , to carry out further dives to previously unexplored trenches around the Pacific Rim .
The American oceanographer Don Walsh made history in 1960 when he joined Jacques Piccard in the implementation of The First manned dive to the deepest point of the Earth - the Challenger Deep , a part of The Pacific 's Mariana Trench . Mr Walsh is surprised about the latest technology.
"What you have here is a System - The Ship , the sub and the lander. They interact and cooperate, and when you see how they work together, it is like a ballet," Mr Walsh told Bbc News act.
"What is impressive is the Repeatability is to be able to, diving over and over again. "
Atlantic Productions is a five-part documentary about The Five Deep Expedition for the Discovery Channel . It's air is probably in the spring of next Year .
