Energizer
1. The universe is getting bigger

Answer: Fact

Explanation: It is theorized that the universe is being expanded by an unknown dark force.

2. The universe is at least 4.5 to 4.6 billion years old

Answer: Bluff

Explanation: Scientist said that the universe is nearly 14 billion years old.

3. The Solar System as part of the Milky Way is Located at the outer limb of the galaxy.

Answer: Bluff

Explanation: Our solar system in near the center of the galaxy, we are also on 1 of 4 arms of the
galaxy.

The Origin and Evolution of the Universe

My idea of how the universe came into existence is base on the big bang theory which is said to
be the closest theory on how the universe started. The theory says that before the universe begun
there is only the endless dark void, until 2 unknown gasses has collided with each other creating
a big explosion and the universe hence the name of the theory big bang.

Self Check
1. How old is the universe and how did it form?

The universe is nearly 14 billion years of age and the hypothesis of the big bang explain how
the universe been hypothetically created with 2 unknown gasses collide and explodes which
has created the universe and the stars. In its beginning it has been theorize that it is just a hot
mess of atoms, gasses, and electrons until it eventually cools off and which is now our
universe.
 2. Based on the nebular hypothesis, how does a nebula form a solar system?

The theory said that 4.5 billion years ago that our sun, planets, and asteroids were created
along with a nebula that is made from gas and dust from a supernova, the nebula has
experienced a gravitational collapse that created our solar system.

3. If you were a planet, what kind of planet are you? What characteristic do you have that
the others don’t have?

If I was a planet I would be a planet that is 10 billion years and want to be 4 times bigger than
earth and has a lime to green sunlight that is being covered by nothing but white and black sand,
that can flow only inches water every 4 years and would dry in 5 months keeping the planet a
clear plain biome of half white sand and half black sand for 4 years and only inches of water for
5 months and if you ask if this planet it is not possible for any being to survive here for even a
week but it could be a planet that can resupply water for other planets if they can ever land a ship
in the planet. This planets equivalent of a day is 20 hours.

Let’s sum up
1. There are 2 types of planets the terrestrial and the gas giants.
2. Our planets are named after Greek gods and goddesses except for earth.
3. The theories and origins of our solar system.
4. Multiple theories about the creation of the universe.
5. That our world and the universe will eventually come and go like how it started.

Assessment Check #1
My theory about the beginnings of the universe is just like the Big Bang Theory but with some
modifications. The first change that the universe started from a different type of explosion this
time it explodes in itself meaning that before another universe is created that another universe
would be destroyed like just how it expands my theory that it eventually a universe will recoil
back just like how you stretch rubber band and it would revert back once release the previous the
stars and planets here of my will be drag into the center of the universe if its going to create
another universe once that everything would stretch in to the center of the universe it will create
a big bang creating new stars and making new planets. On how it creates stars doesn’t change on
the theory, but for the planets and its core will come from nebula clouds dropping big burning
core size rocks that would eventually collect chemicals from its surrounding creating land or
gases around it. My theory also involves multiverses when every time the universe tries to
recreate itself it would multiply into multiple dimensions but some won’t be able to have enough
of a big explosion that some dimensions of universe would just disappear.

Assessment Check #2
1. Cite instances in the origin of the Solar System that describes how scientific investigation
led to the development of a new scientific knowledge.

Because of the origins of our solar system scientist now has knowledge about nebulas.

2. How are the planets alike? How are they different?

Planets are alike because they orbit around something but their difference are that the closer
planets are terrestrial while the further planets are gas giants.

3. Is Pluto a planet or not? Why or why not?

Pluto is no longer a planet because it is too small but the it has been downgraded into a dwarf
planet which is technically a world in its own way.

Perseverance Rover

The Perseverance Rover or as NASA call him Percy is a rover that has been sent to mars on July
30, 2020 it has been sent there to get samples of mars, he has been well long developed by
NASA because they can only have 1 try to get it right or they would have destroyed the long
progress of creating it. It landed on February 18, 2021 and has been collecting data on mars ever
since he landed. With its data we can study mars even further

I am Interested in this story after another rover Curiosity finished its mission on mars and has
send his data which led to a project to create another rover, Percy. Mark Rober who was an ex-
NASA employee now famous youtuber with 19 million subscriber teaching young children with
his fun experiments on YouTube, he also helped on designing Percy before quitting to pursue
YouTube.

I always love the idea of people live in mars I wish that by the time they can send people to
space I would still be alive because imagining living on the Red Planet just intrigue me, so by the
help of Percy one of the things on things I want to do can be achieved if I can ever make it there.

I also loved the documentary of curiosity in his 7 years on mars collecting data, and watching
him pass over his struggles on his journey was really fun because he was a robot that can’t
efficiently do physical things as much as humans.

As for the data Percy will give us in the future, he will not be going to give us images he will
also drop sample capsules to be pick up by other advance rovers in the future. Once this samples
are collected, I would expect that the chemicals on mars are unknown to us and will give us new
elements and might make new compounds to advance the human race.

Right know as I’m making this Percy has collected his first mars rock as a sample for us to
collect and took 2 sample remarkable Photos that will be part of NASA and Human kind’s
history.
