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.
Pegasus
2008
Planet of Light
Katsai
Staye
Leave your comments on this post by Friday telling us which one out of these five you chose and why.
Students, after all the learning we have just participated in during our Space Unit, I thought you’d be fascinated to read about this. Please post a comment on my blog no later than Wednesday telling me what you think about this new planet AND I want to know what you would have named it if you found it. I found this part really amazing : The pictures also reveal a star in its youth — 60 million years old compared to our sun, which is 4 billion years old — which will provide a wealth of information for astronomers keen to establish the chemical make-up of planetary systems and how they form. WOW!!!
