Mrs.
Martin talked to us about non-fiction books to do with space. She told us
about Galileo Galilei who looked at the moon through a telescope and found
that it had craters. Neil Armstrong was the first man on the moon. These
were his famous words, "One small step for man, one giant leap for
man kind." I'm glad that William Herschel did not call Uranus George
after the king!
We also did a quiz. Some of the questions
were which is the second biggest planet in the solar system? Another
question was which arm of the Milky Way galaxy contains the Sun and the
solar system? The answers are Saturn and the Orion arm.
