The Great Astronomy Race

The Great Galaxy Tour

By Austin DiEdoardo

Welcome to our journey! We are going to be traveling through our galaxy, and learning about some things you see in space. Let's get started! 

A star is a heavenly body in the sky that gives of light. There are billions of stars visible in the sky every night!

A planet is a heavenly body in space thar orbits around a star. Earth is the only planet where we have found life so far.

Asteroids  are large rocks revolving around the run. These large rocks are too small to be called planets . 

A comet is ball of dirty ice flying through space. Typically, comets also have tails.

A meteoroid is made of rock or debris that catches on fire and shoots through space. When a meteroid catches on fire, we call it a meteor .

Thanks for joining us on our journey throughout the galaxy. Maybe you'll join us in space someday!
