Posted on

Gold is known as a crisis commodity because its value commonly rises when other assets decrease. When economies are slumping or in turmoil, gold generally shines and is always valuable anywhere in the world. Deciding to invest in a gold individual retirement account, or IRA, is not a bad idea at any time. However, there are some tips for investing in a gold IRA that can help you make a better decision:

Gold IRA Companies

Before you decide to invest your IRA in gold, you must do your due diligence when finding the right company to handle the account.

Others do not have good customer service, experience or charge fees that are hidden from you.

You must do some research on a company in order to compare their fees and their success at handling this type of an account. Most of this information can be found over the Internet.

What an Alien Planet Might Look Like

Posted on

According to a statistical study by Arnuad Cassan of the Paris Institute of Astrophysics, there are potentially 160 billion exoplanets in the Milky Way.

As of 2012, the Kepler satellite has discovered over 2000 exoplanets, including Kepler 20e and Kepler 20f, which are orbiting the Sun-like star Kepler 20. So the odds seem good for one of these worlds to have life on it.

Alien Planets

But what might an alien world look like? A distant ice world of glaciers and geysers? A desert land of subterranean colonies? We can make some good speculative guesses based on life on Earth. There are various external and internal factors that determine whether life can survive.

As with all homes, location is essential. You have to find the right kind of star. While there are billions of stars in the galaxy, only a fraction of them will be suitable for life. It needs to be in the correct spectral class range – a measure of the star’s temperature. It would have to have a lifespan of a few billion years to give time for life to evolve. [Read more…]
