Blogs

Today I have decided that on holidays like thanksgiving I will let everybody make a comment on what they would like me to blog on and I will do each one!

Thankgiving

We went to Hot Springs, Arkansas for thankgiving and we saw all of our cousins and had fun. I made a play for thankgiving and my mom made a song because my grandma made everybody do a play or song. I played lots of football! We also played risk, shuffle board, putput, bowling. I did not take any good pictures :( Sorry.

Cats

The cat is said to have been accociated with humans for at least 9,500 years! Cats typically weigh between 5.5–16 pounds however, some breeds, such as the Maine Coon, can exceed 25 pounds. Some have been known to reach up to 50 pounds due to overfeeding. Conversely, very small cats less than 4.0 lb have been reported. Cats have highly specialized teeth for the tearing of meat. The cat's tongue has sharp spines, or papillae useful for retaining and ripping flesh from a carcass. Cats, like dogs, are digitigrades, they walk directly on their toes, the bones of their feet making up the lower part of the visible leg. Cats are capable of walking very precisely. They also can have very sure footing for their hind paws when they navigate rough terrain. Unlike dogs and most mammals, cats walk by moving both legs on one side and then both legs on the other. Most mammals move legs on alternate sides in sequence.

The Hubble Telescope.

The Hubble Telescope is a telescope launched in 1990. It is located in space and orbit's the earth in about 96–97 minutes! It weighs 24,250 lbs and goes at 16800 mph. This telescope is very important in space because it has taken thousands of amazing pictures. Provided that Hubble telescope is close enough, it is dark, and the skies are clear enough, the Hubble Telescope can be seen without a telescope. Amazingly the Hubble telescope has seen galaxies well over 12 billion light years away. It weighs 24,250 lbs and goes at 16800 mph. The main advantage of having it in space is… It is not blurred or blocked by the atmosphere, clouds, and gasses. A disadvantage of having it in space is… It gets sometimes gets blocked from taking pictures of what it is supposed to be taking pictures of by the earth Its is 94 inches in Diameter. It's main parts are its antenna, its solar panels, its aperture door, and its lens. Its antenna is used to gather energy. Its solar panels are also used to keep in . Its aperture door is used to cover the lens when the telescope is not being used. Its lens are used to make things visible when they are extremely far away. This telescope from its original cost estimate of $400 million dollars, the telescope had actually took over $2.5 billion dollars to construct. The Hubble Telescope's costs up to this day are estimated to be several times higher, between $4.5 and $6 billion dollars. Out of every 200 papers published each year which contain most of the space information, about 10% are based on Hubble data. The Hubble telescope has a low earth orbit.

Piano

The piano is a musical instrument played by means of a keyboard. It produces sound by striking steel strings with felt hammers that immediately rebound allowing the string to continue vibrating at its resonance frequency. These vibrations are transmitted through the bridges to the soundboard, which amplifies them. The piano is widely used in Western music for solo performance, chamber music, and accompaniment. It is also very popular as an aid to composing and rehearsal. Although not portable and often expensive, the piano's versatility and ubiquity have made it one of the most familiar musical instruments. It is sometimes classified as both a percussion and a string instrument

Mars

Mars is the fourth planet from the Sun in the Solar System. The planet is named after Mars, the Roman god of war. It is also referred to as the "Red Planet" because of its reddish appearance as seen from Earth. A terrestrial planet with a thin atmosphere, Mars has surface features reminiscent both of the impact craters of the Moon and the volcanoes, valleys, deserts and polar ice caps of Earth. In addition to its geographical features, Mars’ rotational period and seasonal cycles are likewise similar to those of Earth. Mars has two moons, Phobos and Deimos, which are small and irregularly shaped.

Pacific Ocean

The Pacific Ocean from the Latin name Mare Pacificum peaceful sea, bestowed upon it by the Portuguese explorer ferdinand magellan is the largest of the Earth's oceans. It extends from the covers about 46% of the Earth's water surface and about 32% of its total surface area, making it larger than all of the Earth's land area combined. The equator subdivides it into the North Pacific Ocean and South Pacific Ocean. The Pacific Ocean at one point reaches a depth of 35,798 feet! The Pacific contains about 25,000 islands (more than the total number in the rest of the world's oceans combined)! Leave a coment to give me a topic for the next article.
