Mars
Is the red planet. It has the biggest mouton in space. Mars has been known since prehistoric times.The first spacecraft to visit Mars was Mariner 4 in 1965. Several others followed including Mars 2, the first spacecraft to land on Mars and the two Viking landers in 1976.

Black holes
Black holes are the evolutionary endpoints of stars at least 10 to 15 times as massive as the Sun.Most black holes are formed from the death of large stars (larger than the sun) that run out of fuel and cannot sustain its nuclear reaction.

Dwarf Planets
Though there are just five dwarf planets now, their number is expected to grow.Scientists estimate there may be 70 dwarf planets amongst outer solar system objects that have been discovered already.

Kuiper Belt
The Kuiper Belt is a bit like the asteroid belt, but much farther from the Sun.The planet Pluto is also a Kuiper Belt Object. Starting in 1992, astronomers have become aware of a vast population of small bodies orbiting the sun beyond Neptune.


Worm holes
A hypothetical "tunnel" connecting two different points in spacetime in such a way that a trip through the wormhole could take much less time than a journey between the same starting and ending points in normal space.

The universe before the Big Bang

I think the the univeres was just a big blur that had big rocks in it. But I think the Big Bang happen when all the rocks hit as once. Earth was not there at the time, it came along after the big bang. And the Sun was a big gas rock but when they hit it trun into the big yellow sunny Sun.

THE LOVE PLANET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



Pluto is my favorite planet, because his a outsider. This planet is out on the fear end of our solar system and its alone out in the big dark space. He need someone to like him. If I could I would go stay on Pluto for 4-5 years or so. To me Pluto should be called THE LOVE PLANET, because it look like its a nice place to go to and fall in deeper love with your boyfriend/girlfriend.
