Uranus (The Big Blue Planet)

 

 

Hello were going to talk about Uranus. Do not laugh at it's (cough cough) weird name. OK anyway were going to talk about Uranus. Wait I already said that. (sighs) Let's just move on.

 When it Was discovered

When exactly was Uranus discovered Science Cat? Science Cat:  Well Sciencemeap Uranus was discovered in 1781 on March 13th. Sciencetific Meap: Hey a day after my birthday! Science Cat: Get out! Anyway before we were interrupted I was telling you about Uranus. Where did it get it's name Sciencemeap? Sciencemeap: Well Uranus got its name from the Greek god of the sky. He is also the father of Saturn and the grandfather of Jupiter. Well we should move on.

 

 

 

 

 



Rings

 

 

 

Yes Uranus has rings and not many people know that.  Uranus's rings are faint and there is only 13 of them.  In the sky there is a blinking in the sky. The blinking is Uranus's rings reflecting the starlight off of them.  The first five rings were named Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta, and  Epsilon. Some of the larger rings are lined with an outer layer of dust.  Shall we.  

Moons

 

 

Uranus has about 27 moons orbiting it. One of the largest moons is Titania. Titania is the eighth largest moon in the solar system. It's distance from Earth is 1,692,000,000 miles.  it takes 209 hours to orbit Uranus. Science Cat: Well duh what else would it orbit the sun? Sciencemeap: Get out of here Science Cat. Science Cat: Fine. Sciencemeap: Anyway we should move on.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Axis

 

 

 

Well Uranus is tipped on it's sid ewhy excatly? Well some people think a big object during the transforming of the solar system hit into Uranus.  Most planets ar not tipped on it's side. If we were tipped on our side then i don't know.  Most planets are not like Uranus because of that. Uranus is really unique in a way. Let's move on.

The Dog Paddle 

Researches have connected canine swimming patterns  to early aquatic mammals. A guy named Frank Fish wanted to design experiments  for the first in-depth look at the dog paddle. He did experiments on his own dogs. Science Cat: Wow this is going to be really shocking! Sciencemeap: Go away Science Cat! Science Cat: Fine. Sciencemeap: Well we should move on.

Dog Paddle

Fish wanted to know how the canine went about the dog paddle.  No one has actually defined what the dog paddle is.  Fish took eight dogs from the pound and experimented on them. Three of them were his own the others were from the dog pound.  "It's not like they were throwing dog into the water." He said. They actually pick dogs who like to swim.  

Doggie paddle

They set up the underwater cameras and brought the dogs in.  When the dogs were in the water they recorded the dogs leg movements.  By analyzing the videos they figured out that the dogs movements are similar to the aquatic trot.  This mean the dogs are off-springs of aquatic trot and the wolves.
