In June, our monthly theme is Outer Space.
Based on the alphabet, can you think of things we can find in outer space? It could be planets, stars, galaxies, etc. With so many stars, I think we can rely on Google to help narrow them down!
Let’s go!
Because I want more people to jump in the game, I will ask to NOT post two consecutive answers (unless there is a 24 hour period without answer since it could mean we are stuck)
(remember: only ONE answer per letter, to give us more options for seconds if we get to that point)
h = Halley’s Comet or Comet Halley, officially designated 1P/Halley, is a short-period comet visible from Earth every 75–76 years. Halley is the only known short-period comet that is regularly visible to the naked eye from Earth, and the only naked-eye comet that might appear twice in a human lifetime.
I = Io (one of Jupiter’s volcanic moons, on the list of the 50 weirdest objects in the cosmos, I found a picture that made me laugh, because it is also called “pizza moon”, that’s why I have to upload the pizza moon after my pizza lady… lol)
J = Jupiter
Don’t ask me why, but it’s my favorite planet. I always used to tell my granddaughter that I loved her to Jupiter and back.K = Kinetic energy Kinetic energy is the energy that an object has because of its motion.
As a physical educator I studied Kinesology…the science of human motion. So…kinetic energy is the planet/star’s energy created by it motion.
S = Sirius the Dog Star or Brightest Star
Terrestrial Planets = the planets whose surfaces are made of solid materials. In our solarsystetm : Mercurius, Venus, Earth and Mars
X = X-Ray Star (celestial object that gives off x-rays as a major portion of its radiation)
B = Brown dwarf – A cold and dark star too small to initiate nuclear reactions that generate heat and light.
