Satellites

A satellite is otherwise known as a travelling companion so moon is a satellite even though we think of satellites as man made objects.

Both pictures are satellites but which one is more beautiful?
Don't get me wrong...scientists were very clever in inventing a man made satellite but I think nature is very capable of creating beautiful things that also serve a great purpose.

Earth

Looking at all the planets in the solar system, Earth is by far the most beautiful and fascinating planet.

Above is a picture of Earth and below is a picture of Mercury.
Which one do you think is more beautiful?
Uranus is also a beautiful colour but still it is boring being one colour where as Earth is a swirl of different shades of blue, white, green and many other colours.
It almost looks like Earth is a painting.

Discoveries

What could be out there? we are always discovering new things, think what we could have discovered in a million years?

Earth's size

Earth is one of the smallest planets and we think it is so big. We are actually minute in comparison to all the space out there.

Earth's revolution

Something which fascinates me is how fast we are actually moving!

Last night at the dinner table my dad brought up how fast a train called the Eurorail goes.

He said it travels at a speed of 400km/h. I then looked up how fast the earth revolves around the sun. It goes at a speed of 29km/s which is approximately 1740km/h.

It is very strange that we don't feel ourselves moving and this brings us to the thought of how small we actually are in comparison to the Universe.

It is also strange that it takes us so long to make one revolution when we are moving so fast and this shows how big the Sun actually is.
