Patrick Star


1. I enjoyed learning about the Andromeda Galaxy.
2. I learned that we are in a collision course with the Andromeda Galaxy. http://www.haydenplanetarium.org/resources/ava/galaxies/G0601andmilwy
3.I think it's cool because we will no longer be the Milky Way Galaxy. We will be the Andromeda Galaxy. I liked it because it's interesting to know that there will be no Earth, the Sun, other planets in our galaxy, or any of the wonderful stars we have here on the Milky Way.

Spongebob Squarepants

I think the universe was nothing but dust and other debris. I guess the dust just expanded.

1. Doppler Shift, Astrometric Measurment, Transit Method, and Gravitational Microlensing
2. Gravitational Microlensing is when a star passes between our line of sight toward another planetary object. What happens is we use an instrument to look through the star to see aany non-lit object.

My favorite planet is Venus because it is nice and orange-ish. It also has a super hot atmosphere that I find fascinating.

Andromeda Galaxy:
On September 2, 2009, a NASA satellite took a picture of a new galaxy. It was called Andromeda after the Pan-Andromeda Archaeological Survey. It is the largest in the local group of galaxies, including the Milky Way. Searches have started to find and see if there is life on this newly found galaxy.

Apollo Missions:
The Apollo program started off as an Earth orbiting program. It launched its first rocket that ended horribly with the death of 3 astronauts. It decided to launch satellites with no crew on them until Apollo 7 with launched and made it back with a success. After Apollo 7, they began to start a new discovery revolution. They were the ones who successfully orbited the moon. They continued to do this from Apollo 8-Apollo 17 (not including Apollo 9).

Titan:
The largest moon of Saturn and the second largest moon in the solar system, Titan is very similar to Earth. Not only that, it is much bigger than Mercury and Pluto plus it is much denser than Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, and Pluto. It has water and could warm up to sustain life like us. The only problem is Titan has an impenetrable atmosphere. It's impossible for us to get to the surface.

Worm Holes:
In physics, a wormhole is a hypothetical ''shortcut'' through space and time. Spacetime can be viewed as a 2D surface, when ''fold that are connected to a single throat or tube. The wormhole is said to have to "mouths." If the wormhole is traversable, then matter can ''travel'' from one mouth to the other by passing through the "throat". While there is no real evidence for wormholes, spacetimes containing wormholes are known to be valid solutions in general relativity.


Ultimate fate of the universe:
The universe needs dark matter and dark energy to keep expanding. It is said that the dark energy levels will rise causing accelerated expansion. The universe will keep expanding until it possibly collapses into itself.

Pluto in my eyes is not a planet nor do i believe it is a dwarf planet. It, to me, is an asteroid. I don't really care if people say that just because it's spherical. Pluto is still an asteroid. That is my opinion and I am sticking to it!!! :)

Rockin Da Sponge Remix Version 4 with NO LYRICS!

1. A wind system that influences large climatic regions and reverses direction seasonally is known as a monsoon.
2. The Bermuda High and thermal lows.
3. Fresh rain and clean roads
4. Traffic jams and bloked roads
5. Flooding happens a lot in India but it often causes deaths and loss of property. Many of the neighborhoods are now destroyed after a drought that had badly damaged their crops.
6. I honestly think it depends on the region. If the region is in drought, it should definantly have a monsoon but if it's always raining there, it doesn't need a monsoon.
