In Space we find the following:
• The Sun (It is a star and provides earth with light, heat and energy.)![]

• The moon (It is a cold, dead ball of rock and dust. It revolves around the earth.)

• Planets (There are 8 planets, which includes earth.)

[]
This is how the planets look on the orbits.

• Meteors (This is chunks of rock. When they find there way into our atmosphere they become extremely hot and burn out. We call them “shooting stars”, (when they hit earth we call them meteorites.)

• Comets (This is chunks of ice and has that travels in large orbits throughout the Solar System)

There are at least three different types of telescopes that can be used to watch the stars.

Space Travel
A lot of people has either orbit the earth or has been on a planet.
Niel Armstrong was the first person to set a foot on the moon.

He will also not be the last person, since technology is developing a lot faster/
