Space

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!!!!!

Family Vacation Time

  I love going on vacation don't you? There are so many exciting places to visit, with things to do for every type of person. There are places for people who want to relax or go on an adventure. Below are some places I have traveled, that I would recommend going to! 1. Maldives We went to Maldives last summer and had an amazing time. I experienced a lot of firsts there. I went scuba diving for the first time in my life. Although it was not a full experience(the instructor teaching us held on to our oxygen tanks, to keep us from swimming away), we still saw so many amazing fish. There were so many different shapes and sizes along with colorful coral. We saw schools of fish, and they swam in between us. They were so close I could almost touch them. On top of seeing the sea animals we saw an abandoned shipwreck. It was a smaller sized ship compared to the ones in movies, but it was so cool! Another first I had there was walking on a white sand beach. These beaches are completely ...

Lost in Hollywood

Lost In Hollywood is my favorite book by Cindy Callaghan. Her description of the places Ginger and Payton visited made me feel as if I was there myself. Thirteen-year-old Ginger Carlson feels like she is the only normal one in her family. Her father is an inventor who sells his gadgets online, Mom is obsessed with classic movies, and her brother Grant thinks he is from outer space. Luckily, Ginger has a totally normal BFF, Payton, and they have big plans for the future—they plan to become doctors and open a practice together in a big city. But first, they’re partnering on the state Science Olympics where they’re sure to take home the gold for their eighth grade class with their model of the brain. The Olympics training is interrupted when the Carlson family gets an urgent call that their eccentric Aunt Betty, a former actress who lives in Hollywood, is in serious trouble. The bank is going to take her house unless she can give them the money she owes. The Carlsons head to LA to sort th...
