Uranus

 

Hello everyone, today we are going to talk about Uranus. We can first start to talk about who discovered Uranus. Uranus was discovered in 1781, by an astronomer named William Herschel. William Herschel wanted to name the planet after King George the 3rd but he named after the ancient Greek god of the sky.

 

You might not be knowing this but Uranus has 11 rings that are very hard to see. Uranus has 27 moons, can you believe that ? They are mostly named after Shakespeare. Titania is  Uranus' largest moon and is much smaller than Triton, the largest moon of Neptune.

Uranus has an atmosphere of hydrogen and helium, with a small amount of methane and traces of water and ammonia and has no solid surface, so that would make it a gas giant. Uranus's axis is different from the other planets because it is tipped on its side. Some scientists think that Uranus was tipped on its side by a planet sized body. But did you know that Uranus's rotations axis is almost  horizontal.

 

Facts about Uranus

 1. Uranus is the 7th planet from the sun

2.  a day on Uranus is 17 hours and 15 min

3.  Uranus's magnetic field is tipped over.

 

Well guys I hoped you enjoyed my blog.

Hello Everyone, today we are going to talk about NASA hunting for fossils on Mars. Right now two rovers are on Mars one Curiosity and the other Opportunity. They are both on different side of the planet and analyze the environment and send reports and footage then send all that down to earth. Curiosity is the size of car. Millions of dollars were spent just in curiosity mission alone.

Right now the Opportunity rover rests at a location known as the Endeavor Crater. At this crater, Opportunity has analyzed minerals in the rock bedding, which have been found to be smectite clay. This particular mineral can only have developed during a time when there were a large presence of water. That points out the fact that,at a time there were a large amounts of water on Mars.

 Curiosity has helped scientists to spot out   a location on Mars known as Yellowknife Bay which has  high mineral counts and a high chance of supported life. Curiosity is now on her way to Mount Sharp as NASA prepares the next rover to launch in 2020.  We still can not say that whether life exist on Mars. But we will know whether life exist in the nearest future.

 

 

 

Well everyone this is the end . I hope you liked it.
