The document provides information about various space-related topics including: the sun, moon, gravity, the solar system, UFOs, the space race, the moon landing, stars, galaxies, aliens, and orbits. Key points are that the sun is a ball of gas and fire, the moon orbits Earth and reflects sunlight, gravity pulls objects towards each other, our solar system contains planets orbiting the sun, the space race occurred between the US and USSR to reach space first, and Neil Armstrong was the first person to walk on the moon in 1969.
2. The Sun
• The sun is a big ball of gas and fire.
• It is a star, but is small to stars in other
galaxies.
3. The Moon
• The moon is made of rock.
• It orbits around the earth and takes a
month to travel the whole way round.
• The most likely time you will see the moon
is at night.
• The moon is lit up by the sun and reflects
the light.
4. Gravity
• Gravity is a force that pulls us down to the
earth.
• If you get two objects, one heavier than
the other, they will both fall at the same
speed, unless air resistant's gets in the
way.
• Gravity pulls us towards the sun and pulls
the moon towards us.
• Gravity is all around us.
5. The Solar System
• Our solar system is made of the sun,
Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter,
Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto.
6. U.F.O’s
• U.F.O stands for unidentified flying object.
• U.F.O’s are said are said to be alien
spaceships.
• There is no proof that U.F.O’s are actually
aliens spaceships.
• There is no proof that there are any alien-
lifeforms in our galaxy.
7. The Space Race
• The space race was a race that happened
between 1957 and 1975.
• It was a race between the two countries
USSR and the USA.
• The race was to see which country could
make the right technology to get into
space first.
8. The Moon Landing
• The moon landing was in 1969.
• The people in the shuttle were: Neil
Armstrong, Edwin “Buzz” Aldrin and
Michael Collins.
• Neil Armstrong was the first man on the
moon and the comment he is famous for
is “One small step for man, one giant leap
for man kind.”
9. Stars
• Stars are big balls of gas and fire.
• They change colour, from blue to white
then yellow, orange and last, red.
• When they die, they let of all their outer
layer and appear as a small dead star.
• The most powerful stars turn into a black
hole, when they die.
11. Aliens
• There is no proof that aliens actually exist.
• Aliens could look like anything, so people
like to make up what they look like.
• Nobody has travelled beyond the milky
way, there could be aliens in other
galaxies.
12. Orbits
• An orbit is a journey around something, for
instance the Moon orbits the Earth.
• The Earth orbits the Sun and the Moon
orbits the Earth.
• As the Earth goes around the Sun, it ‘s
spins. It’s the same with the Moon.
