.:Our neighbourhood planets in the solar system:.
Our Solar System
Alright , before thats was saturn so lets take a break for planets and take another title . How about the Solar System . 9 Planets in the solar system but suppose to be 8 anyway i included with pluto within it .
a) Mercury b) Venus
c) Earth
d) Mars
e) Jupiter
f) Saturn
g) Uranus
h) Neptune
i) Pluto Alright lets play a game = ) those who willing to play it go ahead , make a sentences that refers to the first alphabet . For example :
Mercury - My
Venus - Very Earth - Efficient
Mars - Mother Jupiter - Just Saturn - serve
Uranus - us
Neptune - nine
Pluto - pizza
Sentences - My very efficient mother just serve us nine pizza
The Solar System consists of the Sun and those celestial objects bound to it by gravity. These objects are the eight planets, their 166 known moons, five dwarf planets, and billions of small bodies. The small bodies include asteroids, icy Kuiper belt objects, comets, meteoroids, and interplanetary dust. The charted regions of the Solar System are the Sun, four terrestrial inner planets, the asteroid belt, four gas giant outer planets, the Kuiper belt and the scattered disc. The hypothetical Oort cloud may also exist at a distance roughly a thousand times beyond the charted regions. A flow of plasma from the Sun (the solar wind) permeates the Solar System. This creates a bubble in the interstellar medium known as the heliosphere, which extends out to the middle of the scattered disc. Kuiper belt or Oort CloudThe Kuiper belt sometimes called the Edgeworth-Kuiper belt, is a region of the Solar System beyond the planets extending from the orbit of Neptune to approximately 55 AU from the Sun. It is similar to the asteroid belt, although it is far larger -- 20 times as wide and 20–200 times as massive. Like the asteroid belt, it consists mainly of small bodies (remnants from the Solar System's formation). It is home to at least three dwarf planets – Pluto, Haumea and Makemake. But while the asteroid belt is composed primarily of rock and metal, the Kuiper belt objects are composed largely of frozen volatiles (dubbed "ices"), such as methane, ammonia and water.
How small is our planet ???

.:Gas giants - Saturn:.
Alright eversince i blog out about Nasa and the Russian space Center , is time to move on to our next planet , saturn . Saturn the second largest planet in the solar system and its also a gas giant . In the rings of saturn there are thousand of asteroids but when further away is beautiful . The rings of saturn capture astronomy discoveries .
A lof of unchecked and undiscovered secrets left behind saturn
Saturns Poem
Saturn is my name; I'm first Of planets high above the earth. I am by nature dry and cold, And my works are manifold. I in my houses firmly stand- The Goat and the Waterman. I do much damage by my might, On sea and land, by day and night. My exaltation's in the Scales, But in the Ram my power fails. It's thirty years, harsh and malign, Ere I come again to the same sign
Saturn is the sixth planet from the Sun and is the second largest in the solar system with an equatorial diameter of 119,300 kilometers (74,130 miles). Much of what is known about the planet is due to the Voyager explorations in 1980-81. Saturn is visibly flattened at the poles, a result of the very fast rotation of the planet on its axis. Its day is 10 hours, 39 minutes long, and it takes 29.5 Earth years to revolve about the Sun. The atmosphere is primarily composed of hydrogen with small amounts of helium and methane. Saturn is the only planet less dense than water (about 30 percent less). In the unlikely event that a large enough ocean could be found, Saturn would float in it. Saturn's hazy yellow hue is marked by broad atmospheric banding similar to, but fainter than, that found on Jupiter. The wind blows at high speeds on Saturn. Near the equator, it reaches velocities of 500 meters a second (1,100 miles an hour). The wind blows mostly in an easterly direction. The strongest winds are found near the equator and velocity falls off uniformly at higher latitudes. At latitudes greater than 35 degrees, winds alternate east and west as latitude increases. The atmosphere of Titan is largely composed of nitrogen and its climate includes methane and ethane clouds. The climate—including wind and rain—creates surface features that are similar to those on Earth, such as sand dunes and shorelines, and, like Earth, is dominated by seasonal weather patterns. With its liquids (both surface and subsurface) and robust nitrogen atmosphere, Titan is viewed as analogous to the early Earth, although at a much lower temperature. The satellite has thus been cited as a possible host for microbial extraterrestrial life or, at least, as a prebiotic environment rich in complex organic chemistry. Researchers have suggested a possible underground liquid ocean might serve as a biotic environment .

.:Space Centre in 2 big companys:.
Ever wonder which company holds the largest space discoveries ? 4 countries that is first among the largest is America , Russia and goes by Japan and China .
Nasa (National Aeronautics and Space Admistration )
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration is an agency of the United States government, responsible for the nation's public space program. NASA was established on July 29, 1958, by the National Aeronautics and Space Act. In addition to the space program, it is also responsible for long-term civilian and military aerospace research. Since February 2006 NASA's self-described mission statement is to "pioneer the future in space exploration, scientific discovery, and aeronautics research."Nasa suceed mission NASA has had many successful space missions and programs, including over 150 manned missions. Many of the notable manned missions were from the Apollo program, a sequence of missions to the Moon which included the achievement of the first man to walk on the Moon, during Apollo 11. The Space Shuttle program has also been a success,[citation needed] despite the loss of two of the Space Shuttles, Challenger and Columbia which resulted in the deaths of their entire crews. The Space Shuttles were able to dock with the space station Mir while it was operational, and are now able to dock with the International Space Station – a joint project of many space agencies. NASA's future plans for space exploration are with the Project Constellation. There have been many unmanned NASA space missions as well, including at least one that visited each of the other seven planets in our Solar System, and four missions (Pioneer 10, Pioneer 11, Voyager 1, and Voyager 2) that have left our solar system. There has been much recent success with the missions to Mars, including the Mars Exploration Rovers, the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, and the Phoenix Mars Lander. NASA remains the only space agency to have launched space missions to the outer solar system beyond the asteroid belt. Alright everyone wants to know how those a space toilet looks like ? First of all dont think Negatif !! xD ..and here goes the Youtube about space toilets . Gosh alot of people watching this video
Russian Federal Space Agency The First Man made Satellite
HISTORY
The RKA was formed after the breakup of the former Soviet Union and the dissolution of the Soviet space program. The RKA uses the technology and launch sites that belonged to the former Soviet space program. The launch sites are located mostly in the country of Kazakhstan and are maintained and utilized in cooperation with the government of Kazakhstan. The RKA has centralized control of Russia's civilian space program, including all manned and unmanned non-military space flights. The Russians Space Centre does not only launch the first satellite ..plus it is the first country to make the Russian Space Station .Well i guess might be together with Nasa to build it up

.:Our sun and the cosmic universe:.
From out largests sun to a bigger bigger BIGGEST sun in the universe . Our sun is the largest in the solar system but not in the milky way . Some stars are 1000 times larger than our sun . The Bigger ,the faster it dies out . Our sun could live for 5 billion years from now where else bigger ultra blue rays , there could only live witha life span 1 to 3 million years . This explosion at the surface area of the sun is almost the size of earth
There are smaller stars which are dimmer and could live for more than a 100 billion years old .Known as forever . Red drawf are exmple of dim stars which could last forever but wont give that much heat like out sun .One thing great of our sun is that it pulls all the planets and arrange to form the birth of the solar system .
Blue Supergiants
Because of their extreme masses they have relatively short lifespans and are mainly observed in young cosmic structures such as open clusters, the arms of spiral galaxies, and in irregular galaxies. They are rarely observed in spiral galaxy cores, elliptical galaxies, or globular clusters, most of which are believed to be composed of older stars. The best known example is Rigel, the brightest star in the constellation of Orion. Its mass is about 20 times that of the Sun, and its luminosity is more than 60,000 times greater. Despite their rarity and their short lives they are heavily represented among the stars visible to the naked eye; their inherent brightness trumps their scarcity.

.:The red planet:.
Explaining about moon is not only the facinating planet in the solar system , reaching to our sister earth planet is Mars . Mars was once like planet earth but was left dry and death when a meteor strikes mars . So thats what scienctist called the planet sister of planet earth = ) .Mars is still a living planet but under develope evolution for life on mars . Mars the red planet and the colour of blood onnce suggest people , mars was a poisonous planet . We cant survive in Mars cause highly carbon dioxide plus too hot and cold
This few space shuttle are landing on the moon plus using it either to go to mars
Mars is a terrestrial planet with a thin atmosphere, having surface features reminiscent both of the impact craters of the Moon and the volcanoes, valleys, deserts and polar ice caps of Earth. It is the site of Olympus Mons, the highest known mountain in the Solar System, and of Valles Marineris, the largest canyon. Furthermore, in June 2008 three articles published in Nature presented evidence of an enormous impact crater in Mars' northern hemisphere, 10 600 km long by 8 500 km wide, or roughly four times larger than the largest impact crater yet discovered, the South Pole-Aitken basin. In addition to its geographical features, Mars’ rotational period and seasonal cycles are likewise similar to those of Earth.
