// The first people to land on the moon were [|Neil Armstrong and Edwin Aldrin].Another person named Michael Collins went too, but he stayed on the spaceship and never walked on the moon.The spaceship they flew on is called "Gemini 8". Neil Armstrong first went to the moon in 1966. //     ======



[|What is a black hole]? //  A black hole is an empty space and has no light.If something enters a black hole it will never escape.So if you travel to space and you enter a black hole you're gone forever.If you wanted to escape a black hole you would have to go faster than the speed of light which is impossible.Then nothing is able to prevent itself from falling into a black hole.

//  //  What is a Supernova? //           //A supernova is an explosion after the end of a star's life.A supernova is made up of nuclear gas.With reduced pressure on the core,the core collapses inward to become a neutron star (a star formed from an old star) or a black hole.There are several kinds of supernovas that exsist.An average [|supernova] occurs once every 50 years in a galaxy the size of the Milky Way. //

How long would it take to travel to [|Mars]? It would take approximate 260 days.Some high-speed transfer orbits could make the trip in as little as 130 days, but however it's not pacticial to pack that much fuel, so we accellerate to break Earth orbit and coast to Mars.Mars is made of rock and iron oxides.It's surface is covered in mountains,valcanoes,valleys,ice caps and dried up river beds.Mars is also very dry like a desert and it is red.

Why isn't pluto a planted anymore?

Pluto isn't a planted anymore because it is smaller than some planetary moons.Now it is a dwarf planet.Some other [|dwarf planets]are eris and senda but people think their bigger than pluto.Pluto is smaller than the moon.Pluto is the farthest dwarf planet in the solar system, and it takes 4.02 hours for light to reach it.

What is a satellite? [|A satellite is any object that orbits or revolves around another object].For example:the moon is a satellite of the Earth,and the Earth is a satellite of the sun.Man made staellites orbit the Earth to learn more about it.The components of a satellite are communication, capabilities antennae and a radio resever.Sattelites stay in orbit and don't crash into the Earth by their speed and the gravitational pull between it and the Earth.
