Hello! You’ve visited my account page! My name is Bennett Dytko. I go by Bennett1203 on Wikipedia, however I am currently changing my name to astrobiology, the study of life in the universe. My family tree dates back hundreds of years. My surname originates from Poland, possibly dictating my dad's side came from Poland. His family also came from Italy. My mom's side came from Germany. In 2021, I began my interest in pursuing outer space as a hobby. Later, it devolved into astrobiology, chemistry, and atomical physics. I joined Wikipedia in 2023 to share my knowledge, and I have now made over 1,000 edits since.

Image 1The Voyager program is an American scientific program that employs two interstellar probes, Voyager 1 and Voyager 2. They were launched in 1977 to take advantage of a favorable alignment of the two gas giants Jupiter and Saturn and the ice giants, Uranus and Neptune, to fly near them while collecting data for transmission back to Earth. After launch, the decision was made to send Voyager 2 near Uranus and Neptune to collect data for transmission back to Earth. (Full article…)
Image 4An exoplanet or extrasolar planet is a planet outside the Solar System. The first possible evidence of an exoplanet was noted in 1917 but was not then recognized as such. The first confirmation of the detection occurred in 1992. A different planet, first detected in 1988, was confirmed in 2003. The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is expected to discover more exoplanets, and to give more insight into their traits, such as their composition, environmental conditions, and potential for life.

Image 11Biology is the scientific study of life. It is a natural science with a broad scope but has several unifying themes that tie it together as a single, coherent field. For instance, all organisms are made up of cells that process hereditary information encoded in genes, which can be transmitted to future generations. Another major theme is evolution, which explains the unity and diversity of life. (Full article…)
Image 12Enceladus is the sixth-largest moon of Saturn and the 19th-largest in the Solar System. It is about 500 kilometers (310 miles) in diameter, about a tenth of that of Saturn's largest moon, Titan. It is mostly covered by fresh, clean ice, making it one of the most reflective bodies of the Solar System. Consequently, its surface temperature at noon reaches only −198 °C (75.1 K; −324.4 °F), far colder than a light-absorbing body would be. Despite its small size, Enceladus has a wide variety of surface features, ranging from old, heavily cratered regions to young, tectonically deformed terrain. (Full article…)
Image 17The periodic table, also known as the periodic table of the elements, is an ordered arrangement of the chemical elements into rows ("periods") and columns ("groups"). It is an icon of chemistry and is widely used in physics and other sciences. It is a depiction of the periodic law, which states that when the elements are arranged in order of their atomic numbers an approximate recurrence of their properties is evident. The table is divided into four roughly rectangular areas called blocks. Elements in the same group tend to show similar chemical characteristics. (Full article…)
Image 18Darwinism is a theory of biologicalevolution developed by the English naturalist Charles Darwin (1809–1882) and others, stating that all species of organisms arise and develop through the natural selection of small, inherited variations that increase the individual's ability to compete, survive, and reproduce. Also called Darwinian theory, it originally included the broad concepts of transmutation of species or of evolution which gained general scientific acceptance after Darwin published On the Origin of Species in 1859, including concepts which predated Darwin's theories. English biologist Thomas Henry Huxley coined the term Darwinism in April 1860. (Full article…)
TikTok, YouTube, and Twitter(X), where I spend most of my time on. I like them because of their random content tailored to a user's preferences, making the overall feel of the platforms.
Soccer, basketball, American football, kickball, and dodgeball for their fun. I like soccer because you get to train your leg muscles and you also have a lot of fun at passing, scoring, and being a goalie. I like basketball on the other hand because of its ability to train your arm and hand muscles, and their fun which I think is passing and shooting. I also like American football because of its fun. I like watching it on TV and playing it outside. I also really like passing in the sport, and catching a football, as it is really difficult but is really fun. I also like kickball because it trains your leg muscles like before, but requires you to get to a plate before someone gets you, and you continue doing this until you get a home plate or get out. I also like kickball because it involves training your hand and arm muscles to endure heavier balls to throw. I also like it because it trains your brain in dodging the balls so you don’t get out.
The 2007 television program The Big Bang Theory, created by Chuck Lorre and Bill Prady. I enjoy the show's humor and relatability, often finding myself identifying with characters like Sheldon Cooper (although admittedly, I'm not quite as intellectually inclined).
Outer space, the Solar System, and everything beyond. It all began with my discovery of YouTuberV101 Space's captivating videos. His editing style and narrative approach drew me in, and before I knew it, I was completely immersed in his channel. Over the past two years, my fascination with space has only intensified, and I know this streak will endure for years to come.
The 2014 film Interstellar directed by Christopher Nolan. I'm fond of this movie because it vividly portrays the dire consequences of global warming and the urgent suppressing of greenhouse gas emission. Additionally, I appreciate its stunning visual representations of the various blanets and the enigmatic black hole.
Jolly Ranchers, various mint candies, gum and bubble gum, and Oreos. I like Jolly Ranchers for their taste and variety of flavors. Additionally, I enjoy Tic-Tacs and Mentos daily, along with Eclipse gum. Oreos are another favorite of mine due to their flavor and rich history. I also appreciate Hydrox, the original Oreo.
Roblox since 2018. In my opinion, it offers an abundance of user-generated content tailored to individual preferences. The overall enjoyment of the game enhances the gameplay experience for both me and other users. Additionally, the freedom for online users to pursue various activities adds to the overall fun of the Roblox experience. One of my other cherished games is the autorunner game Geometry Dash. Its addictive nature, challenging jumps over spikes, and ever-evolving challenges contribute to why it's my favorite. Moreover, the user-generated levels and interactive features, like commenting and uploading posts onto your profile, give the game a social media platform vibe, where players can share and rate each other's levels.
The felis catus, canis familiaris, and capybara for their amazing intelligence and cuteness. I love cats and capybaras because they’re calm creatures that cuddle in your lap, whereas dogs are playful and friendly. I like both because you can easily become friends with them, and chill with the animals if you’re feeling stressed or you have a mental issue.
Canada for its lovely atmosphere. I find the country's resemblance in laws and constitutions to the United States intriguing, along with their alliance. Additionally, I also love the Canadians. Moreover, I also like North Korea for its unique atmosphere. I find the country's isolation intriguing, although not in a negative sense. The limited exposure to the outside world highlights the unusual nature of North Korea. Overall, I find North Korea's relationship with other countries fascinating.
McDonald's for their delicious food. I usually get a 10pc McNugget with medium McFries. I used to be a master collector of toys inside of the Happy Meals.
Marina Bay MRT station is a Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) interchange station on the North–South (NSL), Circle (CCL) and Thomson–East Coast (TEL) lines in Singapore. Located in the Downtown Core district near Marina Bay, it serves the Marina One Residences, Marina Bay Suites and the Marina Bay Financial Centre. It was one of the last stations to be completed in the early phases of the MRT network, opening on 4 November 1989. The station was the terminus of the NSL until the line's extension in 2014. It became an interchange station with the CCL when the two-station branch extension from Promenade station was completed in January 2012. The TEL station platforms were completed in November 2022, becoming a triple-line interchange on the MRT network. The station features art as part of the MRT network's Art-in-Transit programme. The sculpture Flowers in Blossom II is over the CCL mezzanine. The CCL platforms feature photographs by Nah Yong En and the TEL station features murals by Tang Ling Nah. (Full article...)

In 1860, French inventor Édouard-Léon Scott de Martinville made the earliest known sound recording, capturing himself singing the French folk song "Au clair de la lune." This recording went largely unnoticed and was overshadowed by Thomas Edison's phonograph, which famously recorded "Mary Had a Little Lamb." However, in 2008, researchers rediscovered Scott de Martinville's recording and used a computer program to replay it.
