INTRODUCTION QUESTIONSRemember to write full sentences.How big is the universe?____________________________________________________________________________________________ What is the name of our Galaxy?_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________How many stars are in our Galaxy?____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

THE UNIVERSEThe Universe is about 14 billion years old. The Big Bang formed the universe. The Big Bang was a big explosion. We don’t know why it happened. The universe is very big and it is getting bigger every day, just like you.The universe is made up of everything – planets, solar systems, galaxies and black holes.

GALAXIESA galaxy is a group of stars and planets. There are 170 billion galaxies that we know in the universe. There might be more!!!!Galaxies are many different shapes and sizes, some have few stars and some have a lot of stars.

MILKY WAYOur galaxy is called the Milky Way. It takes 120,000 light years to travel from one side of the Milky Way to the other side. A light year is how far light travels in 1 year. 1 light year = 9,460,730,472,580,800 metres. The Milky Way has 400 billion stars and about 400 billion planets too.

BLACK HOLES

Black holes are in the centre of galaxies. They have strong gravity. We can’t see black holes. Black holes form when old stars explode. Black holes can be very big. They can pull stars into them.

AIR AND TEMPERATURE IN SPACEThere is no air in space to breathe and it can be very hot and very cold in space. Astronauts wear a spacesuit when they are in space. This suit gives them oxygen and protects from the extreme heat and cold. If astronauts didn’t have this spacesuit, travelling to and living in space would be impossible.

EXPLORING THE NIGHT SKY AND STARSVOCABULARYENGLISH SLOVAKTelescope teleskopObservatory hvezdáreňPlanetarium planetáriumConstellations súhvezdieYOU CAN LEARN THIS VOCABULARY ON THE NARNIA MEMRISE COURSE.

INTRODUCTION QUESTIONSRemember to write full sentences.How do we look at stars and planets from Earth?______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Can stars help when we are travelling? ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Telescopes.Telescopes are used to look at planets and stars. There are many different types of telescopes. Some are small and some are very, very big. The most famous telescope is the Hubble Space Telescope. This telescope went into space in 1990. It is 25 years old. It has taken some of the best pictures of stars and galaxies.

Observatories are buildings where people study stars, planets, and galaxies. An observatory has one or two very big telescopes. Observatories are usually on top of mountains.

Planetariums are theatres. Here you can see videos about the Universe. Have you visited a planetarium?

StarsA star is a bright ball of very hot gases. The Sun is the nearest star to Earth. The next nearest star to Earth is Proxima Centaure. It is 4.2 light years away. This means it takes 4.2 light years for the light from this start to reach Earth. It would take 75,000 years to visit this star in a spaceship.Stars are many different colours. This depends on how hot the stars are.From coldest- hottest:

Brown Red Orange Yellow White/Blue

When you look at the stars, you are looking back in time!!

ConstellationsConstellations are a group of stars that make a shape in the sky. There are 88 constellations.Orion It is in the shape of a hunter.Large Bear It looks like a bear. Inside this constellation, there is

another constellation called the Big Dipper. The Big Dipper helps us find the north direction.

Little Bear It looks like a little bear. It has the North Star. The North Star helps us when we are travelling.

Draco It is the shape of a dragon.Peagus It in the shape of a flying horse.

Mercury is the closet planet to the sun. It is the 2nd hottest and the smallest planet. It has no moons.

Venus is the 2nd closet planet to the sun. It is the hottest planet. It is slightly smaller than Earth. It has no moons. You can see Venus at sunrise and sunset.

Earth is the 3rd planet. It has 1 moon. It is the fifth largest planet in the solar system.

Mars is called the red planet. It is smaller than earth. It has ice at its North and South poles. It has 2 moons.

Jupiter is the biggest planet. It is so big that all other planets could fit inside it. There is a storm on Jupiter that has lasted for hundreds of years.

Saturn is the 2nd biggest planet. The rings around the planet are made of ice chunks. It has 7 moons.

Uranus is an icy planet. It has 11 rings and 22 moons. Neptune is 4 times bigger than Earth. It is a blue colour. It has

strongest storms in the solar system.
