Mars

 

 

 

Hello everyone today we are going to talk about mars! Lets go on an adventure today!

 

Roman Mythology

 

 

 

Let's talk about roman mythology first. So what is mars named after exactly? Well this is why were talking about roman mythology! Well Mars is named after the roman god named Mars and the Greek version Ares. So it was named after him and it means "war". Just saying I think Venus and Mars should switch names. Well anyway let's move on shall we?

 

 

 

 

                                             

 

The Red Planet

 

 

 



How did Mars get the name Red Planet Science Cat? Well because in the sky it looks really red and because of it's rich-red soil. No Way!  Mars gets the Red Planet name so many things right Science cat! Yeah! So another name is from the color of war. Why? Because it's red!  Well anyway we should really move on.

 

Moons

 

 Mars has two moons 

Phobos /Fear

Deimos /terror

 

There only small chunks of rock that are caught in rotation with mars. Why are they named fear and terror though? Well their named fear and terror because mars is named after war and you fear it and you have terror when it is happening. That's kind of scary just saying. Anyway let's move on.

                                                                       Diemos

 Phobos

 

 

 

 

                                              Atmosphere and Temp

 

 

What is Mar's temperature and Atmosphere like? Well Mar's temp can go to -55. That's really low and cold. What is Mar's atmosphere made of. It is 75% carbon dioxide and the other half is well I do not know. Mar's has dust storms and if you go there wait you probeley can't! Well anyway on we go.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Water

 

 

 People think there might be water on mars and I totally agree with them. Why?  Well because  there are polar ice caps and the polar ice caps are made out of water but frozen. There are also channels but when people first saw them they thought they were canals. Well their not so deal with it. There has to be water in the polar ice caps right. I still agree on that so ya let's move on.



 

Comparing Earth and Mars

 

What do mars and Earth have in common? Well let's see.

 

 

 

 

1. They both have south and north pole
2.  They look alike
3. they both have mountain
4. they both have volcano's
5. They both have a mountain  name Mt. Olympus

And so much more!!!                  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

My Top 5

 

 

 

 

 

1. Mars was named after the Roman god Mars.
2. Mars might have water.
3. Mar's moons are fear and terror.
4. It's moons are asteroids
5. It has a iron core.

Mercury and Venus

 

 

 

 

Hello I know I have not done a blog in a while so here I am!  So today we are going to talk about Mercury and Venus!

                                              Compare and Contrast

What exactly do Mercury and Venus have in common

Compare

• Their both really really hot!
• Mercury and Venus both have moutians.
• So Much More!!!

Contrast

• Venus has volcano's and Mercury does not.
• Venus is really slow relvoling and mercury is the fastest planet.
• Venus is hot all the time.
• Mercury at night goes down to -180 degrees Celsius.

On We Go!

Venus

 

 

 

Where is Venus you ask well Venus is the 2nd planet in the solar system. Venus is hot all the time even at night time.  Hi Science Cat we're talking about Venus want to help? Sure. So why can't we live on Venus Science Cat? Well Venus is so hot about 900 degrees Celsiuses so it will be a quick death for people who go onto Venus. No does that mean I'm going to get pulled into the core! No it means that you'll die and stuff! Any way let's talk about Mercury.

Mercury

 

 

Mercury is the smallest planet and the closest to the sun. Mercury is also the fastest planet! So let's talk about it's surface temperature. Why exactly does the surface vary so much. So at night it is -180 degrees and at night it is hot enough to melt lead. So the reason why is because the place of the sun. On one side the sun is not over there and so it is really cold even ice is in the craters. On the other side the sun is over there and it's really really hot. ON WE GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Research:

 

Where do mercury's and Venuses  name come from well I had to research it so here it is

 

 

Mercury: It was named after the messenger god, Mercury.

 

Venus: It was named after the goddess love and beauty.

 So today we are going to talk about something amazing!  Its about how scientist think they have cracked the code for getting ride and going into a BLACK HOLE!  hThe scientist think that gravintaional wavelengths can make a black hole just disappear. Wait a second some of you don't know what a black hole is! Well a black hole is a hole that is black and nothing can escape it not even light! How can gravitational wavelengths possible help us crack the code to a black hole???





So why is the code wavelengths? No one knows for sure.  A gravitational wave is a brother/sister to a ripple in space-time.  Albert Einstein found out that in our bodies is how the waves are created and so whenever we put our body or any ones body in a black hole the black hole gets weaker and weaker and weaker. After about 100,000,000 bodies/people are in there the black hole will eventually die and disappear. That is the code to making a black hole disappear but in 5 years or so it comes back where ever it died cause it does not die forever mahhhahhhahahahha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Well my opion abouot this story was that it is really cool and they have cracked the code to makeing a black hole dissapear.

Galaxy

 

 

 

Hey yo peeps!!!!!!! Well we're going to talk about galaxies! So excited to talk about this topic! Anyway  - so what is a galaxy exactly?  Well a galaxy is a huge group of dust, gas and stars and the galaxy is held together by gravity.  Hey look at all the galaxies around us!!!
 

http://wallpaperswide.com/galaxy_4-wallpapers.html

 

 

 

There are about 11111111111111111000000000 galaxies... just kidding.  There are actually 100 billion galaxies.  I know so many galaxies I'll count them 1.2.3 oh never mind. Well about the 100 billion galaxies that's just an estimate. More galaxies are growing right this second! Hey look over there!

http://www.space.com/19075-m81-galaxy-is-pretty-in-pink.html

 

This is my first time were going to time travel. So don't kill me if I mess it up.

http://www.space.com/19075-m81-galaxy-is-pretty-in-pink.html

 

 

Lets go talk to Edwin Hubble...

  

Me: Hi so you found out that all the galaxies are speeding away from us right?

Hubble: Yes I did I also found out about Cepheid variables.

 

Me: What are those?

 

Hubble: Well Cepheid variables are stars.

 

Me: Well that's interesting. Well - we have to go bye!

 

Hubble: Bye!

whoa

 



 

 



Lets talk about superclusters you ask.  A supercluster is a large group of stars! Their so tiny! Superclusters are the biggest structures in the universe!  The average distance between galaxies are ten diameters so far!!!! A huge supercluster it takes about 100 million light years in diameter! That's a lot!

There are 4 ways you can classify a galaxy. 1) Elliptical- They are shaped like a ball and contain dust, gas and mostly old stars. 2) Spiral- They are disk shaped and they have 2 major arms and many minor arms.  They have mostly mid- aged stars.3) There is also a barred spiral galaxy witch fits into the spiral but anyway. Our galaxy is a barred spiral. They have a band across the middle. 4) Irregular-  This galaxy has no shape at all! They are filled with baby stars!

There is a thing in space called Doppler Shift. Doppler Shift includes Blue shift and Red shift. Blue shift is when a planet is moving toward us and it on the blue side of the scale. Then there is Red shift. Red shift is when its moving away from us and its on the red side of the scale. So blue coming toward us and red away from us.

Well Peace Out!!! :D :D :D :D :D :D :D ;D 

 

 

 

 

 

 



Hey yo peeps! So were going to learn abbout the life cycle of stars! Amazing right!  Sorry so happy to teach you about this.  First were going to talk about steller nurseries. What are stellar nurseries you ask. A stellar nurseier is were baby stars are born. Awwww cut-
e star look over there!

 Lets talk about prostars!  A prostar is like a baby star. Acually it is excactly a baby star. One day it will go into the main- sequence of its life! Not so cute then. Stellar nurseries are were prostars are born. You already read about that in the first paragraph. Well lets move on.

 http://www.thefreedictionary.com/protostar

 

Were going to talk about nuclear fusion right now! The fusion in the star's atoms create hydrogien. Nuclear fusion also genrates a lot pf energy causing the star to ingnite.  Just like use except we don't go into flames or exploded...  anyway.  Every star has to ignite at some point. Lets move on people.

  

 

Lets talk about the main-sequence stage in the stars life. In the stars main sequence witch is the longest part of the stars life a few things happen. 1) the star starts to lose fuel and 2) then it will turn into a red giant and many more things! Well lets move on. 

 

 

 

         this is what happens after its main sequence.  It dependeds on the stars mass after the main sequence. 1) If it is very very low in mass its main sequence may last a trillion years longer that our universe.  2) If its a mid size star like our sun it will expand into a red giant and swallow us up!!!! 3) If its larger than our sun then it will collapes into a nutron star or a black hole! Anyway lets move on .

After all that scary stuff with all the red giant and stuff it becomes a white dwarf.  After like trillions of years it finally cools down into a white dwarf. A white dwarf is the end of the stars life. So sad. Well not much to a white dwarf really. Well lets move on.

Were going to talk about a plantery nebula. A plantery nebula is made out of gas and dust. It relates to its life cycle of stars because thats how a star stars out. the life cycle is ... plantery nebula, prostar, main sequence, red giant, white dwarf,and more. Lets talk about some thing eles.

Well in a supernova a star has to be larger than our sun. A supernova is a star that collapes on itself and explodes!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ahhhhhh scary!

What is a netron star you ask? Well a nutron star is a very high density star that is packed with nutrons.  They are made by big stars collapeing after a supernova and it spins!!!

What is a pulsar???? Well... it is a spinning nutron star that gives out radio waves. Well not much there. Shall we?

After a supernova what happens? Well after a supernova it can become a nutron star or a black hole. A sigularty is formed to make a black hole. A black hole is a hole that is black and is invisible and nothing can escape it not even light. Well peace out :D :D :D :D

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

BlackHoles

 

 

 

 

Hello! We are going to talk about black holes! Scary AHHHHHH! Ok anyway... So what are blackholes you ask. Weellll a blackhole is invisable holes that suck things into it. There are two places in a black hole, Event Horizon and No Return! SCARY!!!

 

Blackhole sucking in star

 

 

 

What makes a blackhole you ask. Well things. Fine I'll tell you. A blackhole can be made two diffrent ways. 1) the fuel eventually runs out and it implodes. 2) A collection of matter at the center of a galaxy and it callapes on itself! AHHHHHH!!!!!

 

 

 



Star exploding

 

 

 

You see an black hole is so strong that even light can't escape it! Thats why its called a black hole. What? You don't know what I mean! There's no light in a black hole so its dark.  BOOOOM! Hey its a star exploding!!!  AHHHH run for your life! Just kiding.

Black holes may be small but thier powerful... Some black holes in the center of galaxys are about Two million miles across! Wow thats a lot Sciencecat!  Some people like to think as them as Worm holes! Why Meap? Welll its a hole and... I don't want to explain this! 

 

 

 

 

 

blackhole

http://science.howstuffworks.com/dictionary/astronomy-terms/black-hole2.htm

 

 

 

There are two kinds of blackholes. 1) Schwarzschild- a non rotating black hole and 2)Kerr- a rotating black hole. A Schwarzchild  is very simple it only has an event horizen and a singularity. A Kerr on the otheer hand is less simple it rotates, has a event horizen and a singularity!PEACE OUT!!!!

Our Milky Way

The Milky Way is a galaxy That we live in. Were just a tiny tiny spec of  the Milky Way. From the
 Earth the galaxy looks milky and hazy. That is why we call it the Milky Way.  

                                                                                                                                      Black hole

Some astronomers think there is a Supermassive Blackhole in the middle of the galaxy! A black hole is when two or a group of stars clasp and turn into a blackhole!  You may think a black hole is cool like my friend over there but its not! Not even light can escape the pull of the black hole! Thats bad.  There are other things lets get away from the black holes or else it will suck us in.  The earth is located on the Orion arm.  Our solar system orbits or goes around the galactic center.  The Milky Way is made up of planets,gas, dust, and a unknown substance called dark matter. What is a Halo. You may think that it is a hat that angels wear thats one thing but a Halo is outside of a disk is the Halo.  Our Solar system is only a little spec of our galaxy! We look that small! Yes Emma we do look that small.  We are 26,000 light years away from the center! Thats a lot!
