Our Solar System! By: Juliana Hirsch and Leah Gallers

Introduction

There are many things in the solar system. Planets, a star, asteroids, comets, and so much more. They are all very different, wether in temperature of size. Yet the one thing they have in common is that they have all been here since the beginning, even before we discovered them. If I know one thing about the solar system it is "Somewhere, something incredible is waiting to be known".

Task

Your task is to research an object in the Solar System or out of the Solar System. Then, write a creative story about you topic. You can be the object or be a scientist exploring your object. Or do somehing out of this world!

Process

Your have to answer these four questions on any object in the solar system.

  • When was it discovered?
  • Who discovered it?
  • Which side of the asteroid belt is the object on?
  • Has a human or space craft ever visted it?

Try to include extra interesting facts. Creativity will be rewarded.
