Space is filled with unsolved wonders. As I wrote in my previous post "Ocean or Space" that only 4 percent of space has been mapped or discovered. That shows that there is some much out there that could amaze curious eyes. My favorite planet is Neptune, for its beautiful blue.
Facts about Neptune
- It was discovered by Jean Joseph Le Verrier
- This is not visible to the naked eye
- It was initially going to be called Le Verrier after its discovery but it was quickly abandoned
- It is 17 times larger than Earth and the fourth largest planet in the Solar System
- There are 14 moons on it
- Scientists discovered that it takes 164.8 Earth years to orbit the Sun
- The fist completed orbit was on July 11, 2011
A few days ago I saw Saturn and Jupiter in the night sky with an app called Sky View Lite. It was amazing, on the app it shows where planets and constellations are. The best part of it is you can find their location from your own house.
A few years ago my family visited NASA Space Station. There was so much to learn about I saw many astronauts, who attempted to go into space, succeeded to go into space, and those who have done it multiple times. We had a space simulation ride which was thrilling. I realized then that going into space took years, and years or hard work.
Something I found very interesting about space was that :in the observable universe, there are estimated 2 trillion galaxies." That is so many galaxies and is probably why hardly any of space has been mapped. Spacecrafts have been to every known planet.
Stay Tuned For Space Part 2!!!!!
