Astronomy visitors

A big thank you to Colin and Alan who kept P2 entertained with a question and answer session about the Sun, Moon and other areas of the Solar System.

We also had the chance to look through a huge telescope.

What do you think we saw?

Here are some questions we asked:

How many stars can we see? Roughly 2 thousand

Do the stars only come out at night? No, they are in the sky all the time. We only see them when the sky is dark.

How cold is the Moon? The Sun heats up the Moon but, it is still too cold for humans to survive there.

How big are stars? Many stars are bigger than the Earth.

What is the Earth made of? The core of the Earth is liquid iron.

How wide is the Sun? About I million Earths could fit inside the Sun.

Fact : The red stars are the coolest and the blue stars are the hottest.
