due to the rotation path, the degree of the tilt, and the distance from the Sun. Mars is not that fortunate. Mars, on the other hand, has distinct seasons that last longer due to the rotation around the Sun and the tilt and are on the extreme side. This is caused by Mar’s longer rotation pattern since it is located farther from the Sun at one hundred forty- two miles away. When Mars reaches its furthest distance from the Sun, “the lowest surface temperature [it reaches] on Mars is negative one…

One night Bandy the bandicoot was wandering in the jungles of Australia looking for food. Making his way through the thick forest full of shrubs and plants, suddenly Bandy heard bugs that were just beneath the soil. He could dig without trouble, but with his big, round nose it was hard to stick his face down which made the bandicoot frustrated. Bandy gave up hope of reaching the insects and went to find plants and bugs that may be roaming in the leaves. On the way he passed by Mrs.Katie the…

There are many spectacular events that happen in the universe. Some events are as common and simple as a sunrise in the morning or the northern lights dancing across the night sky. Other events are less common and hold a beautiful mystic to them like a comet streaking across the sky. Of all the magnificence spectacles that occur in the universe, there are not many that equal the power or beauty of a supernova. Supernovas occur at the end of the star’s life cycle as the star depletes its fuel.…

Scientists thought that when earth was forming a piece was sliced off. The Diameter of the moon is 3475 and the earths diameter is 12756, Which is about one fourth of the earths diameter. Most information of the moon come from the Apollo moon missions. Between 1969 and 1972 there have been six spacecraft landings.…

My favourite constellation is the Pegasus because it's myth/legend is very interesting and it is a very unique creature to me. The Pegasus lies in the Northern Hemisphere and it is the seventh largest constellation in the sky, occupying an area of 1121 square degrees. This constellation is made up with 9 stars--Scheat, Matar, Salm, Algenib and Markab. The brightest is Markab. This constellation's name came from Pegasus, a white winged horse. The most famous/well-known Greek myth involving…

What is the moon? How was it made? The moon is a large celestial object that is orbiting around the Earth. It takes around 23.7 days to rotate around the Earth fully. The moon's gravitational pull can be so strong it is able to control the tides in the ocean. There's many theories about how the moon was formed. For example, one of the ways scientists feel like the moon was made is that a mars like object collided with earth. While earth was still forming a big chunk of it came off and was…

With the loud flap of wings, a duck leaves the murky waters of the lake and ascends. Only as the sun begins to set, do the threatening rain clouds finally dissipate in the darkening sky. The drenched soil, soaked squirrels, and over watered grass let out a collective sigh of relief, heard over the rustling of the wind through bare branches. The flooded areas around the lake recede back, leaving behind humanity’s kind gifts to nature. The shores and beaches of the lake now lay littered with…

We all have been outside on the hot summer day. Where you open the door to the house and it feels like you just opened the refrigerator. You walk into the kitchen and you are parched. All you want is to drink some water. Just not your ordinary water out of a bottle. No, it has to be the perfect cup of water to quench your thirst. The first thing you do is go to the sink and wash your hands with soap and water. You have been outside playing in the sand, and mom doesn’t like it when you leave…

The stars shift west which can throw off the constellations shape. The shape will take over 50,000 years before you, the human eye, would be able to see. Constellations change as the earth moves around the sun. One was greatly impacted by this, Argo Navis. Ptolemy's´ constellations are still in use today. His constellation, Argo Navis, is now broken into three smaller parts. These three smaller parts created three constellations. Argo Navis is no longer…
