Stars & Galaxies -Sarah, Amanda, Rajiv



We had to research questions 8-11 about the stars and galaxies in our solar system. One of the most challenging parts of it was taking the information that we found and putting it in our own words. Our entire group agreed that there were so many different types of galaxies.

  7. Joe, in response to your question, there are billions of galaxies in our solar system. About 125,000,000,000 have been seen by telescopes, so far.

  8. Matt apparent magnitude is how bright the star is how bright the star is from earth. Absolute magnitude is how bright the star would be 32.6 light years away from earth.

  9. Very good video. It had lots of information, but it was a little difficult to get the answer to number 11 about the magnitude thing.

  17. Nice Job! It was cool to learn how stars can become black holes. It was cool how you went through the stages of the stars. The ending was funny to but not as great as my talking :)

  18. It was kind of hard to hear at sometimes but the information was great. I got all of the questions done after some help from Rajiv on comments otherwise it had enough information and was overall good.

  20. Sometimes, I was not able to hear what you were saying all that well, but the information that you guys presented was excellent. I wasn't able to answer number 11 from the video, but I was able to answer 8-10 with it. I loved the singing in the end. :) Good job, guys!

  22. Wow! I loved the video. It had so much information. Great job. The only thing that was bad was that I had a hard time hearing the voices at some parts.

  23. Good job. There was a lot of good information, but I thought #11 was kind of hard to answer. And the song at the end was very interesting (:
