Digital Planetarium. Inside the Space Dome we felt like we are really in the outer space because of the way we viewed the clippings. We learned how physical and chemical changes occur in stars as they grow old and soon explode. Newly born stars are blue and are the hottest ones. They are born as soon as a red star which is also an old star explodes. Stars aren’t the only ones visible during the night. Some nearby planets can also be seen but the difference is that they are steady unlike the stars

of most of the energy on the planet. Solar System The Solar System consists of the Sun and its planetary system of eight planets‚ their moons‚ and other non-stellar objects. It formed 4.6 billion years ago from the gravitational collapse of a giant molecular cloud. The vast majority of the system’s mass is in the Sun‚ with most of the remaining mass contained in Jupiter. The four smaller inner planets‚ Mercury‚ Venus‚ Earth and Mars‚ also called the terrestrial planets‚ are primarily composed of

Uranus is the seventh planet from the sun in the solar system. Uranus is described as "rolling around the sun on its side" because it’s tipped over on its side with an axil tilt of 98 degrees. It is not clear to the naked eye‚ and it became the first planet to be seen through a telescope. It was discovered on March 13‚ 1781 by William Herschel. It has 27 moons and 13 rings. Uranus is known as the "ice giant" because it has a hydrogen upper layer and helium is mixed in it. Below is an

historical evidence is essential for the world to move forward.. The Voyager Space Program was a program that discovered the outer planets for the first time‚ and this program encountered many of the astronomical wonders of the outer planets today. But originally‚ the project scientist Ed Stone (former director of Caltech) did not know how to use the special alignment planets that occurs every 167 years. If he had no value for originality he would put in billions of more dollars for just rocket fuel
