Space and the Universe

Ever since I was a boy, I’ve always wanted to go to the Moon. The moon has always interested me because it causes the high and low tides. It also goes through eight phases that interest me as well. If I was the moon I would want to be a Full moon because it is my favorite and you can see one full half of the Moon! My second favorite is the new moon because you can’t see the Moon at all! I’ve always wanted to explore outer space as well. There are so many interesting things in the universe that we don’t understand like other planets and stars. There is only one star in our solar system and that is the Sun. Without the Sun, life on Earth wouldn’t exist! The Sun isn’t the only star in the universe either. There are millions of stars in the universe! There are big stars, little stars, hot stars, and cold stars! Planets are another interesting thing in our galaxy. Other than our planet, there are seven big planets and two dwarf planets. The big planets are Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Uranus, Saturn, and Neptune. The dwarf planets are Pluto and Ceres. Pluto used to be a planet but was later changed to a dwarf planet. Comets are another thing that interest me. They are giant rocks made of ice and gas that orbit the Sun. The most famous comet is Halley’s comet. I have always wanted to be a comet to see what it is like to go all around space! It comes around earth every seventy-five years. The next time it will be visible from Earth is on July 28, 2061. That is forty-nine years from now! The last time it came around Earth was on February 9, 1986. Outer space is one of the most interesting things in the world! There are so many things that we could learn from it. I hope you have enjoyed my story over space and the entire universe!
