YOUR OPINION

After reading this information...

1. Who do you think made the biggest contribution to
2. our understanding of space? Why?
3. (summarising key ideas)

I think Galileo Galilei because he made the first
telescopic

observation of the night sky with telescope he made.
Galileo

Galilei made the first telescope to look fuller than the
naked eye.

He discover Jupiter’s moons, lunar craters and the
different phases

of Venus.

    2) What do you think was the most
important machine or    

    invention in helping us investigate space?
Why? (summarising key ideas)

I think it was the space satellite because
it took pictures

of lots of the planets and the surroundings
of our solar system.

Also the probes because they reached further than
anyone could

go in our solar system and discovered our universe.   

    3) What would you like to investigate
about space? Why?

I would like to investigate the black holes in
our  universe and

why our skies are blue.

If you go/ near a black hole:

When you go into or go near a black hole your

feet feel a strong gravitational pull then your
head because they are

closer to the black hole .Then your body will
stretch apart you are so strong

that your body is completely torn apart .

Why are our skies blue:

Blue light is scattered in all directions by the tiny molecules of air
in Earth's atmosphere. Blue is scattered more than other
colors because it travels as shorter, smaller waves.
This is why we see a blue sky most of the time. ...
Also, the surface of Earth has reflected and scattered the light.

This information is from NASA space place.

My Writting

Nibiru Is a tropical planet in the middle of an asteroid belt called Starnga. Starnga is
 in the middle of a solar system called Klet. Nibiru is only one of the planets that orbits
around in Starnga,  but unlike our solar system Nibiru orbits a sun but it also has a mini sun
that orbits it. This mini sun is a royal blue ra (sun) that follows Nibiru around. Nibiru is habitable
for humans to live on.

To get to Nibiru  you have to travel through
a black hole called Chumbo. It is between Jupiter and Saturn.
Chumbo is very dark  misty, cold and deep. When you travel through
Chumbo you can hear calls from the god of the dark. His voice is dark
and cold because its as pango(black) as it sounds, like an echo through a tunnel.
To get to Nibiru you have to travel on a rocket ship called 222 Dark Flyer, because that is the
only ship that can travel you to Klet.

Where you live on Nibiru is actually inside the planet. On the outside of Nibiru there is a dark
crust o
f toka(rock) but on the inside, where you live, the air is as fresh as a fiddle. Nibiru is covered in
water and beautiful ngahere pārūrū (rainforest). It is home to many Nibiruan creatures.

The natural plant in Nibiru is called plus. Plus is fruit that tastes like lollies but produces
vitamins and oxygen.

The indigenous people of Nibiru are called Windies. The Windies are one of the guardians that  
help this plant grow.The plus plant keeps Windies and humans alive by producing oxygen and
food.

Windies are yellow dwarfs that are cautious of humans or someone new that comes to their
tribe. Windies have lived on Nibiru for millions and millions of years. Windies  keep Nibiru
and the plus plant alive by
saying prayers and singing songs. If the Windies population died then there would be no Nibiru……..

But once when the Windies didn’t know about the humans or other living creatures there
was an attack.Once Roman people came through Chumbo to Kelt and landed on Nibiru.
Nibiru was in great danger because the
Windies did not know who they were or what they were doing there. The Windies stayed
hidden for several weeks. They became hungry and the planet slowly started to die because
they were not there to look after the Plus plant.
All the Roman people were pulling out all the plus plants. Windies were getting very annoyed
and they came to a conclusion to finish the Roman people. There was a war. The Windies
vanished Roman people back to
Earth and ever since no one has gone to Nibiru.

You should go to Nibiru because there is amazing culture and beautiful ngahere
pārūrū (rainforests) and in summer there are amazing spirit light shows from the Windies that
have past away. Nibiru holds lots of fun and adventures. But you must be warned if you go
to the sacred root of the island or if you abuse the Windies culture the Windies will become
your enemy ……..
