Congratulations

Congratulations to Willow, Keaton, Kieran, Tiffany and Jackie who all came up with some names for the new planet discovered outside our solar system. This was a homework task that was on my blog to be completed by Tuesday.

So for the rest of you, another chance for success…which one of the following do you like the best.

  1. I looked the planet up on google and was excited to learn that it was discovered by astronimers in Berkeley, California which is very near my home. The Planet has already been named Fomalhaut b. If we were just working off the list, I would pick Planet of Light because on the site, it said that this planet is 16 times as bright as our sun but will probably burn out long before our sun burns itself out.

  2. My favourite is the same as Jordan’s, The planet of light, I like it because the planet is estimated to be three times the mass of Jupiter. I can’t imagine a planet that big, and I think it would be interesting to be on such a large planet.
    Wow, I didn’t learn that from the internet that this planet is 16 times as bright as our sun!!!!!!

    I think it sounds like a interesting planet to learn about.

    I like the name because from the picture, it looked REALLY bright, It looks much more red than the sun.
    I don’t know why they named it Fomalhaut b? Maybe something to do with light?????
    I wander who got to name the planet? Why did they name it Fomalhaut b???

    It sounds like a very fun thing:)
