On October 26, my class and I went to the Museum of Natural History. When we were there we went to the Hall of Meteorites, the Rose Center and saw Journey to the Stars. In the Hall of Meteorites, we walked around and had to find what a meteor and a meteorite were. We had to find what was different between them. In the Rose Center we went to go see the Big Bang. The Big Bang was a movie about how the universe started. After that we walked down the Cosmic Pathway, and went to see Journey to the Stars. Journey to the Stars was about what stars are, the sun and then sun today. We were told that eventually the sun will stop providing us heat, but when it does, humans will be long gone.
I learned that 4 billion years ago land was first formed on earth. Meteorites collide on earth, they leave craters of many sizes which provide us hot earth was formed. Chrondules are spheres found in meteorites. They tell us the formation of our vast solar system.
I want to know why astronomers cared about finding new planets and moons. Why they wanted to find out how they universe started.
