Planets of Front Solar System Mercury - Surface of Mercury is most similar to the lunar surface, and covered by many craters and basins, suggesting that the planet in the geological dormant for millions of years. The main relief shapes on Mercury are plateaus "moon-like", wrinkled ridges called the dorsum, mountain ranges, basins, canyons. The ground of Mercury has crumbled due to the impact of meteorites and soil erosion due to rapid daily variations in temperature. Overall…
The Milky Way is the galaxy our sun is in. It is most important to us humans because its our home.

is a system that contains millions of stars, gas and dust held together by gravitational attraction. A black hole is a place in space where the gravitational force is immense, making the escape of matter and radiation impossible. An exoplanet is a planet that orbits a star, other than the sun, beyond our solar system. By choosing these targets, I wish to learn about how the first galaxies were formed, why black holes have such a high amount of gravitational attraction, and are there any signs of…
