 Solar systems are the smallest of the three systems in question. A solar system consists of a star such as the sun and the objects affected by its gravity.

A star is a luminous ball of gas mostly hydrogen and helium

A Nebula is a cloud of gas and dust in outer space, visible in the night sky either as an indistinct bright patch or as a dark silhouette against other luminous matter.

 stars die because they exhaust their nuclear fuel.   Really massive stars use up their hydrogen fuel quickly but are hot enough to fuse heavier elements such as helium and

there is no upside-down in space you can't go upside down in space 

The Navigational Star Chart can be used to calculate position by finding the circle of position of three separate stars. The point where those circles intersect is the location of the boat.

heroes vs villains

This term we have been doing heroes vs villains this is my writing and pictures.

On the beach, the waves are crashing angrily against the rocks on an island. The ocean is cold and blue. The waves are small, calm and peaceful. There are dolphins, fish, sharks, eels and crabs on the bottom of the water. You can hear splashing dolphins, echos, boat engines and waves crashing. 

Max is walking around the island hunting for food. He lives there. Max does not have a job, he has dark hair, brown eyes and is tall. He is walking along the beach trying to find gold when he sees something shiny in the water. He walks towards it and picks the gold bar up. It is light. 

Alex, the local bad boy walks onto the beach. He hits Max in the face, takes the gold bar and runs away. Max chases after him and tries to take the gold back. They fight each other until they are both exhausted. 

They stop fighting and agree to share the gold bar. They agree to live together and sell the gold so that they have enough money for a new house to live in, next to the beach. The house is big and it is next to the beach so they can see the lovely view. Out of the windows. These are my drawings.
