Additional Information

Red Dwarf Stars

Red Dwarf stars are 1/10 the size of the sun.

Trillions of years.

Very faint 3,000° C Red dwarf stars are by far the most common type of star in outer space.

Red Giant Stars

30 times the size of the sun.

10-25 million years.

Cool, because of its size.

5,000K Our sun might turn into one!

All stars emit light.

These are only two types of the many others.

MoonsThere are many moons in our universe. As you know, Earth’s moon (moon) is only one. The four largest moons in our solar system are: IO, Europa, Callisto, and Ganymede. They are all Jupiter’s moons. All moons

reflect light.

The PlanetsThere are 9 planets in the Solar System. The closest planet from the sun is Mercury. After Mercury, there is Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter,

Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto.

Planet FactsPlanets FactMercury Mercury is the smallest planet in

our Solar System.Venus Hottest planet in our Solar

System.Earth Earth is the only planet in the

Solar System not to be named after a mythical God.

Mars The tallest mountain in the Solar System is Olympus Mons on Mars.

Jupiter Jupiter is the largest planet in our Solar System.

Saturn Saturn’s density is lighter than water, so if you put Saturn in water it would float!

Uranus Uranus has 27 known satellites.Neptune Neptune has six rings.Pluto Eleven-year-old girl Venetia

Burney suggested the named "Pluto"

Solar EclipseAn eclipse of the sun happens when the moon spins in its orbit around the earth comes between the sun and the earth.

Lunar EclipseLunar eclipses happen when Earth's shadow

blocks the sun’s light, otherwise, the sunlight would reflect off the moon. There

are three types of Lunar Eclipses, a Penumbral Lunar Eclipse, a Partial Lunar

Eclipse, and a Total Lunar Eclipse.

This is a picture of Total Lunar Eclipse

The last Lunar Eclipse was on May 10, 2013 ( We were not able to see it though).

Difference Between Meteors and Asteroids

An asteroid is a rocky object in space that's not as big as a planet. There are millions of

them, meanwhile on the other hand we have meteors. A meteor is an asteroid that

burns up as it enters the Earth's atmosphere.

CometsComets are often referred to as "dirty snowballs." They are left over from the formation of stars and planets billions of years ago. Comets that we see in our solar system start out as big chunks of rock and ice just floating around in something called the Oort Cloud.

This is a photo of an Oort Cloud. An Oort Cloud is like a cloud that carries trillions of comets.

5 Facts About the Moon The Moon is 4.5 billion years old. The USA’s NASA Apollo 11 mission in

1969 was the first manned Moon landing. The first person to set foot on the Moon

was Neil Armstrong. Mons Huygens is the tallest mountain on

the Moon, it is 4700 meters tall, just over half the height of Mt Everest (8848m).

The Moon orbits the Earth every 27.3 days.

How Moons and Tides are Related

Tides are created because the Earth and the moon are attracted to each other, just like magnets are attracted to each other. The

moon tries to pull at anything on the Earth to bring it closer. But, the Earth is able to hold onto everything except the water. Since the water is always moving, the Earth cannot

hold onto it, and the moon is able to pull at it. The ocean is constantly moving from high

tide to low tide.

10 Facts about Earth! The Earth is rotating at its axis at about

1,070 miles per hour. Earth is hottest when it is furthest from

the Sun on its orbit. The coldest day in the world was on July

21 1983. It was -89.2°C ( Exactly 18 years before I was born).

Earth is the only planet in the Solar System to have water in its three states of matter.

10 Facts about Earth! (Cont.) Earth is the only planet in the Solar System

not to be named after a mythical God. From a distance, Earth would be the brightest

planet because, sunlight is reflected off our planet's water.

Earth is sometimes referred as the Blue Planet.

99% of Earths gold lies in its core. 8.6 million lightning strikes a day. A human can survive 2 minutes in space

unprotected.

SundialsSundials were used by many cities to help the people know what time it was. When

the Sun was directly over the sundial, it was said to be noon. As technology grew, clocks and watches were used instead. Still, these

clocks and watches were still set and checked by using a sundial.

How Humans meet their basic biological needs in space

There are many ways that basic biological needs can be met in space.

If water is needed, it's frozen to make sure it is fresh when it is defrosted in space.

Airin the

spacecraftA continuous supply of oxygen is essential for breathing. A manned spacecraft uses a gas, which is a

combination of oxygen and nitrogen. This gas is circulated

with the help of fans in the cabin.

Canadian Astronaut Steve MacLean

Steve Maclean is a Canadian astronaut who was born on December 14, 1954 (age 58) .

Steve MacLean became President of the Canadian Space Agency in 2008. Steve

MacLean has flown on two space missions and was one of the first Canadian astronauts

selected in 1983. He also has three children named Catherine MacLean , Jean-Philippe

MacLean and Michèle MacLean.

The Hubble Space TelescopeWho What When Where Why HowLyman Spitzer made The Hubble Space Telescope.

The Hubble Telescope could get much clearer images than one that was sitting on Earth.

The Hubble Space Telescope was launched into orbit in 1990; almost 50 years after it was first made.

Hubble orbits about 550 kilometers (342 miles) above Earth. Hubble travels about 7,500 meters per second.

The main reason that the Hubble telescope was built was to get pictures from outer space.

Light hits the telescope's first mirror. It bounces off the first mirror and hits a second mirror. The second mirror focuses the light through a hole in the center of the primary mirror that leads to the telescope's science instruments.
