Personally, it freaks me out. I mean, what if we're sucked into a black hole? Then what? Would we just shoot out into another galaxy? heath_hannah https://padlet.com/heath_hannah/odi3wst2rdpc/wish/350763265 (fourth)]]> 2019-04-11 13:34:53 UTC https://padlet.com/heath_hannah/odi3wst2rdpc/wish/350763265 "According to the best estimates of astronomers there are at least one hundred billion galaxies in the observable universe." says NASA. So what if we were to go into another galaxy? What would happen? heath_hannah https://padlet.com/heath_hannah/odi3wst2rdpc/wish/351134667 (fifth)]]> 2019-04-12 13:14:33 UTC https://padlet.com/heath_hannah/odi3wst2rdpc/wish/351134667 "According to the current understanding of physics, an object within space-time cannot exceed the speed of light, which means an attempt to travel to any other galaxy would be a journey of millions of earth years via conventional flight." states NASA. Okay, good. We can't shoot out into another galaxy. heath_hannah https://padlet.com/heath_hannah/odi3wst2rdpc/wish/351640422 (sixth)]]> 2019-04-15 13:22:05 UTC https://padlet.com/heath_hannah/odi3wst2rdpc/wish/351640422 But what are the galaxies made of? heath_hannah https://padlet.com/heath_hannah/odi3wst2rdpc/wish/351959347 (seventh)]]> 2019-04-16 13:24:19 UTC https://padlet.com/heath_hannah/odi3wst2rdpc/wish/351959347 "Space that we can see is mainly very very empty. If you ignore the galaxies and stars, then the rest of space is mainly a vacuum, so there's no particles at all. The particles that are there are mainly hydrogen and helium, which form a plasma called the Intergalactic Medium." says Jessica Marshall, a scientist working on sending three spacecrafts to Mercury. heath_hannah https://padlet.com/heath_hannah/odi3wst2rdpc/wish/351960345 (eighth) ]]> 2019-04-16 13:27:12 UTC https://padlet.com/heath_hannah/odi3wst2rdpc/wish/351960345 What's the Intergalactic Medium? heath_hannah https://padlet.com/heath_hannah/odi3wst2rdpc/wish/353347011 (nineth)]]> 2019-04-23 13:23:05 UTC https://padlet.com/heath_hannah/odi3wst2rdpc/wish/353347011 The Intergalactic Medium is the hot, X-ray emitting gas that pearmates the space between galaxies. heath_hannah https://padlet.com/heath_hannah/odi3wst2rdpc/wish/353350426 (tenth)]]> 2019-04-23 13:30:38 UTC https://padlet.com/heath_hannah/odi3wst2rdpc/wish/353350426 In this image, you can see all of the planets in our solar system revolving around the Sun.

The Sun's gravity pulls on all of the planets, just a the Earth's gravity pulls down on anything that is not held up by some other force." says NASA's "SpacePlace" category. Gravity is what helps keep us on the ground, and it is pulling us to the center of the Earth. heath_hannah https://padlet.com/heath_hannah/odi3wst2rdpc/wish/354098033 (thirteenth) ]]> 2019-04-25 13:31:51 UTC https://padlet.com/heath_hannah/odi3wst2rdpc/wish/354098033
