On
Tuesday Room 12 and the rest of the school went down to the Events Centre to
see the Star Dome. The Star Dome is like a big blow up tent you go inside
of. From inside it looks like you can
see the stars. Mr Parkinson told us all
about the stars and galaxies. We found out that space isn’t just stars and
planets. Also a shooting star is a granny star that is losing its colour and it
beams it all out in one huge go. There was a picture of a comet flying through space,
did you know a comet is only about the size of a basketball? We watched a clip
of an astronaut going through space, which felt 3D. He told us that two
galaxies crashing together at two hundred km per second still takes millions of
year to create one huge galaxy. There are all sorts of colours in space. We
found out so much more about space and a big thanks to Mr Parkinson for letting
us use the Star Dome and teaching all about our galaxy.
