Halley's Comet Research Paper

One day I was sitting in my room trying to do my homework when all of a sudden a bright object flew right by my window and loudly landed in the yard. The noise was really loud, and it scared the living daylight out of me.My parents were on vacation, so at this point, there were many thoughts going through my head like, this is the end of the world, or aliens are invading. I mustered up some strength and carefully walked outside to investigate the bright object. I grabbed my bat, and finally after a while, I made it out to the area of impact, and right before my eyes was a real life spacecraft. I was first like, “Oh my gosh, that is so cool” and, “What are the odds.” Then the door to the spacecraft opened. This startled me and I nearly peed my pants. A large figure walked out of the spaceship, and fell to the ground. I realized that the figure was human, and …show more content…

Luckily, Halley’s comet is suspected of coming back in the year 2062 so I took out my phone and put Halley’s comet down in my calendar, because I was definitely not going to miss that.
The final part of the trip was the most spectacular view. One that I would never forget. The Milky Way Galaxy. As I stared away at the Milky Way, Jerry hammered away at the facts. He told me how the The Milky Way’s central core contains a supermassive black hole called Sagittarius A. He also told me hot The Milky Way has grown by merging other galaxies through time. It currently has part of the Sagittarius Dwarf Spheroidal. One part that intrigued me was how The Milky Way moves at a velocity of about 552 kilometers per second. (343 miles per
