The article “NASA Launches Most Capable and Robust Rover to Mars” talks about NASA sending a new ship to mars. The NASA ship model Atlas V has been launched with a mars rover. This rocket Atlas V will open and lets the unit with the rover to mars about at the atmosphere of earth. It will travel 352 million miles to Mars. In conclusion, NASA sent a mars rover to mars.

I think this mission is important because this rover could give us valuable information about mars. If we send units to mars than we will be able to know a lot about it. Then we could even live there.

States of matter

OBSERVATIONS

In my compressibility it goes down for gas doing it easily to solid unable to be squezed.

All of them can be expanded but to different sized and percentage. All of them have a definite volume.

Most of them have a indefinite shape but solids have a definite one. Also most the properties have a definite mass except for gas.

The article “World's Lightest Material Is a Metal 100 Times Lighter Than Styrofoam” talks about scientist making a very light material. Scientists managed to create the worlds lightest material. Its lighter than Styrofoam. This material, is 99.99% air and 0.01% solid. This material has an density of 0.9 micro grams. It was created at the UC Irvine laboratories. In conclusion, this paragraph talks about the lightest material in the world.

I think this is important because this material is so light. If we made an material like this we would be able to create a lighter vehicle. I think using this material we could make lighter aircrafts to fly in the atmosphere.

The article “Mid-Ocean Creatures Control Light to Avoid Becoming Snacks” talks about a type of transparent squid. The squid uses its skin to become transparent to all enemies. Since this squid is a small creature it could be an good prey. The squids transparent skin a low it become invisible. In conclusion, this article talks about a transparent squid.

I think this type of squid is very interesting. Maybe in the future we could use its skin to make us be invisible to others. Its interesting because this opportunity can also help it catch a prey. I think it’s a very interesting squid.

     The article"NASA's Hubble Observes Young Dwarf Galaxies Bursting With Stars" talks about 18 new stars discovered. The NASA Humble Telescope has discovered 18 new galaxies far from earth. These little galaxies are called dwarf galaxies. And are the most common type of galaxy in the entire universe. In conclusion the article "NASA's Hubble Observes Young Dwarf Galaxies Bursting With Stars" talks about new galaxy discoveries.


I think these galaxies are not important to us now. But in the future these galaxies could be an important export route. I think these discoveries are now very common since the amount of galaxies is huge. And our technologies are better and better.

This article "NASA Airborne Mission Maps Remote, Deteriorating Glaciers" tells about a big crater discovered by  Ice bridge Satellite. This crater is situated in pine Islands. NASA satellite Icebridge has been sending lasers there to look at it and discover more about it. These observations have began it 2006. But the satellite stopped working in 2009. In conclusion this article talks about a crater in Pine Islands.

I think this crater is not a big problem to us. Unless this could cause Antarctica to crack. The Polar parts of our world would have some serious problems. But for our luck there are still other satellites looking and observing this mater. And two planes that are observing this crater.

  In this article scientists found clues to a space  A NASA space telescope found some interesting remains of a supernova. Scientists believe that this pictures are clues to finding more about this supernova. This sigh was discovered by the Chinese. In conclusion, this article talks about a NASA observation of a supernova.

I think this observation is very important. This could tell scientists more about supernovas. Its interesting how supernova remains are still around the galaxy. I also think this topic is very interesting. I like this article because its clear and give a lot of information.

 This article tells about a scientist finding a water disk around a young planet. The water disk is around the planet filled up with vapor water. Scientists believe that this is common around the universe. There evidence that its common is that, they have seen other galaxies with these strange formations. In conclusion, this article talks about a scientist discovering a water disk in space.

I think this could very important in the future. Water disks could help us survive and populate other planets using this water. If we ever get to that place 175 light years away from us than we drink this water. This is to early to get there but in the future this could be possible. I think this disk is our help.

In this article two twin satellites fly away from each other. Grail-A and Grail-B fly away from each other around the orbits of the moon. There mission is to calculate the distance between Earth and moon. Both of the satellites engines burned and that's why the NASA satellites got separated. In conclusion, two NASA satellites left each other.


I think this article is very important, Since this incident could effect the calculation accuracy of the distance between Earth and moon. This interested me because I like learning more about space. This incident is important to NASA because these twins could brake. I think this article was written because this incident is important.

A NASA humble telescope discovered a super massive black hole. The invisible hole is being driving amounts of gas away from itself. This black hole lies in the center of Markaria 509. About 500 millions lights away from earth. This black hole has 300 million mass more than the sun. It grows on surrounding matter around the galaxy.

I think this article explains about these black holes in a excellent way. I think black holes are an excellent matter to study. These could suck up a whole star. Since these super massive black holes are so big. I think this article explains black holes in a good way.

Black hole, star collisions May Illuminate Universe’s Dark Side

James Arthur

In the article “Black hole, star collisions May Illuminate Universe’s Dark Side” describes about star collisions making exclusive types of black holes. Black holes are able to pass through stars, in that way scientists can observe how primordial black holes can disappear in case of a star collision. Scientists believe black holes make are made up of dark matter since they are invisible. The passing through a star primordial black hole is unable to suck it up. Even though black holes do have mass and force to effect other objects. It’s hard to observe primordial black holes since they don’t emit or absorb light. Primordial black holes are heavier than other black holes, but less effective on stars. In conclusion this article tells about dark matter.

I think this article describes about dark matter in our universe. It’s a hard topic to talk about since primordial black holes are invisible. This could affect our galaxy if a primordial black hole entered the it. Though the chances of that are small.  I learnt that scientists discovered a new type of black hole. I feel interested about this topic since primordial black holes were a discovered new type of matter in space. In conclusion, this article tells about primordial black holes in a excellent way.
