Astronomy Trip to AMNH 10/26/09









Our class went to The American Museum of Natural History.
We first went to the Rose Center where we got to see the Big Bang movie and on the way down we got to see the time line of The Big Bang Theory. We also got to see how much we weighed on each planet. Next we went to The Hall of Meteorites where we got to see pieces of a real meteorite. After that we watched a movie called Journey to the Stars. This movie was about our Earth, the history of the Stars, and The Sun.

There were many things that I learned from this trip. In the Rose Center I learned that on different planets there are different densities that make our weights different. I also learned how our universe was created and that it is still expanding. In The Hall of Meteorites I learned that shooting stars are Meteorites and that when meteorites bang into other planets it leaves new clues into more information on the history of the solar system. One thing that I learned from the movie Journey to the Stars was that the sun is a big star.

I still have some questions about the Moon. One question is, Is the Moon still expanding too? My second question is, Have people that have visited the Moon see water or any different substance that people on Earth don't know about?
