Research questions include: . The solar system probably formed about 4.5 billion years ago from a giant disk of gas, dust and ice in space. ... All forms of life on Earth require liquid water to survive, so the presence of liquid water is a good criterion for deciding whether other planets in the universe could be habitable. Earth is the only habitable planet in the solar system. ... Planets and moons in the outer solar system are too cold for liquid water. ...

... We describe one detailed base level model, a component model for Quantity, which is a generalisation of previous informal proposals. ... In Figure 1 we propose a model for this area. The main difference between this and other proposals (see http://www.ivoa.net/twiki/bin/view/IVOA/IVOADMQuantityWP for IVOA Quantity data modeling resources ) is that we believe that the core concept is the measurement , which we define as the act of assigning a value plus error to a property, not the quantity itself. ...
