Stars Oh Stars!

Oh my god just look at those stars. Sorry that just me admirimg stars. There beautiful aren't they. What you are going to learn is about stars. What you are going to learn is what stars are. Stars are giant balls of gass held together by gravity. There are three kinds of stars like red,blue,and yellow. The blue ones are the hottest which of coarse are the prettiest to me. I'm assuming that everybody has a different opion. Red stars are the coolest. You think that the red ones would be the hottest but nope they're the coolest.The yellow stars are a little bit hotter. The sun is yellow obviously. In fact stars are made from a cloud of gases and dust called a nebula.What you are going to learn now are the stages of a star. The first stage of a star is the protostar also known as stellar nursery. The second stage of a star is the main sequence. Our Sun is in the main sequence. The main sequence stage is where a star lives the longest. The third stage is the red giant. This is the Sun's next stage. When this part of the Sun's life occurs the Sun will become cooler and we would probably die instantly but don't worry we will probably be long dead by then.The last stage is the white dwarf .When large stars get old, they explode into a supernova and when small stars get old, they become a white dwarf. The way to do that is to conclude this blog with a video from  you tube. I hope you enjoy my video.Sorry that the video is above the blog entry instead of being below the blog entry. Well I hope you enjoyed my blog entry. Chao! Peace out!

Memories from the trip

   I  remember on Saturday, before we left, I found out that the the trip was prosponed to Tuesday because we were originally supposed to leave on Monday. The only reason that the trip was prosponed is because the launch was prosponed to Wednesday and we were originally supposed to leave on Wednesday so yeah. The trip was prosponed like several times like first of all the launch was originally  scheduled on Tuesday then they prosponed it to Wednesday. Then they prosponed it to Thursday at 3:30. Well first of all we were going to leave Thursday morning but then the teachers tried to work it out with our parents so we can go see the launch but then it got proponed again to Friday which really sucks because the only reason why I wanted to go on the trip in the first place was so I could see a space shuttle launch. I was really disappointed that it was prosponed because this was the last space shuttle launch ever and I might not be able to see one ever again. Now you see my disappointment. 


 First of all we stayed at a retreat center called St. Stephen Christen Retreat Center. The reason we stayed at a retreat center is because it was cheaper to stay at a retreat center then it was to stay at a hotel. When we got to the retreat center, I was kind of scared because I saw these people that were Arabs and were all dressed up with this white cover covering their whole entire body.   Scary huh!











    On Tuesday, the day we got there,we went to the Kennedy Space Center and I remember when they wouldn't let me enter the Kenedy Space Center because they didn't have enough tickets to let everybody go so we had to wait there for like 30 minutes and finally let us in. During the time we were at the Kennedy Space Center, we saw a imax movie. It was so awesome. We got to use 3D glasses and everything was in 3D and everthing. It was just awesome. Then we went to the gift shop and I bought, a mug for my father, a tee-shirt for myself, a rocket, and a keychain for my father.  I also remember back at the retreat center there was a lack of channels. They had this kids channel that was very retarded. That show is for like toddlers or something.












On Wednesday we went to the beach and we built sandcastles. I also went in the water with my shorts on.

     I remember being in the bus with Duncan, this kid in fourth grade and he told me that it took him 2 years to read a chapter in a book. After that I was trying to avoid him and stay away from him because I don't like dumb kids. I also remember when we played freeze tag and Mrs. Crimminger was it and she tripped on Anabel's ankle which caught a lot of publicity. Okay everybody that was my trip toTitusville,FL. I hope you enjoyed my blog. Chao! Peace!

Oh! No! Help! I'm Floating into Space

What you are going to learn about what gravity is and where it came from. The theory of gravity was discovered by a scientist named Sir Issac Newton. Apparently when he was reading a book in his home, he looked out his window and he saw an apple fall out of his apple tree in his garden. Then Issac wondered what was that mysterious force that caused that apple to fall out of the tree. He knew there must of been some force that keeps the planets in orbit. So Sir Issac Newton called that mysterious force gravity. Gravity is a force that pulls bodies of mass together. Without gravity we wouldn't even exist,nothing would exist to tell you the truth. In fact Sir Issac Newton invented calculus.Did you know that Sir Issac Newton invented the reflecting telescope. In fact the larger the mass the more gravity. According to Sir Issac Newton everything is affected by gravity. According to Sir Issac Newton, gravity is based on mass and distance. Okay guys,I hope you guys enjoyed my blog.Chao! Peace out!
