ATMOSPHERE
1.I compared Queens, New York to Detroit, Michigan and Las Vegas, Nevada. The best air was Detroit. The worst air was Las vegas Nevada in Clark County from all the night life of down town by the strip.
2. Next i picked 3 states. I picked Florida, Michigan, and Oregon. The worst air was Florida. The best air was Oregon probably from all the nature!
3. I chose Chicago Illionois, the best time to visit is during the winter. The air is clean and fresh. The worst time to visit is the summer months like June, July, and, August. This is because the air is dirty from all the comotion down in the city in the summer.
The best city in michigan that has the best AQI reading would be Benton Harbor and Kalamazoo they both had 17's. The worst would be Saginaw. It has a 36 AQI number. I am doing this on Thursday November 19, 2009.

blackholes.
There are three types of black holes: stellar, supermassive, and miniature black holes, depending on their size. My favorite black hole is a Steller black hole because its small and light does not escape. They are hard to see and they are kind of a mystery! It's intresting to learn the size of them and what can go into them.
3 Facts
. The distance at which nothing can escape is called the Event Horizon.
. Black holes emit x-ray radiation and get smaller and smaller until they disappear.
. NO light can escape!
2 fiction
. The sun will become a black hole!
. Black holes are black inside.
. NO light can escape!

Sunspots!

Sunspot 1029!!
People are intrested in the sunspot group because it has been the most active sunspot all year which is not good. They are also interested because it has C-class flares, which means its flares are small and you can see consequences here on the earth. People are interested in looking at this susnpot and to see if it gets any bigger, it's class goes up, and even if they can see anything from earth. There hasn't been many sunspots this year so they are keeping a close eye on 1029.
This is related to the deep solar minimum because astronomers are afraid that since this sunspot class is so low that we won't find anymore and that the sun might burn out. The sun has been in this for a couple of years. We haven't experienced very active sunspots and were're worried that we won't find anymore.
We care about sunspots on earth because ever since Galileo looked at the sun he calculated the sun spot cycle. It is 11 years long. If the sun spot number is low then it doesn't mess with the earth. If we have lots of sun spots then we are going to have crazy weather. The sun produces light for us. Which gives us heat to keep us warm and so that we have light during the day. If we didn't care then we won't have natural light and we would all freeze.

it gives me a nice tan!
Also, it produces light and heat
Sunspots are super important if we don't have any sunspot the weather wouldn't be very nice here on Earth!

Star Count
Great Worldwide Star Count
This event encourages people to learn more about astronomy.
This is a world wide event, having family and friends get together and gaze at the stars and find constellations and report what they see online.
People all over the world are going outside to count the stars now becuase there is light pollution from all the artificial light we use. Others do it for the fun and the gorgeous view. Majority of people do this count to record their local light pollution in their area.
A great constellation we could use during this count would be Cygnus pr the swan, since we live in the Northern Hemisphere. This constellation is very easy to find, so it would be helpful.
The Latitude and longitude of were I live is
Latitude: 42.44862
Longitude: -82.87831

is there really water on the moon?
water on the moon
Title: Nasa News NASA Spacecraft Impacts Lunar Crater in Search for Water Ice
Author: Jonas Dino and Ashley Edwards
Date: October 9, 2009
The Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter space craft began its experiment to discover if there was frozen water on the moon. It crashed many space crafts into a moon crater and observed the debris plume. Sadly the scientist from Nasa says that it will take some time to find out if there is any form of water on the moon. LCROSS team says they will be the first to analyze if there is any form of water on the moon and they also say that it may take a couple of weeks to analyze.
My thoughts are that if there is any form of water on the moon maybe it isn't sanitary.
If there really was water on the moon, would there be enough?
My conclusion is that the discovery for water on the moon is unknown yet.

Mercury
We care about Mercury because there maybe something on Mercury that we need or could use to help us on earth. Scientists hope to learn the operations they need to perform on the MESSENGER spacecraft. We also care about studying Mercury because it could have valuable resources or natural gases or even gold. They also hope to learn why Mercury shrunk. In recent studies scientists have agreed that Mercury has shrunken. Over many years, astronomers have figured out that under Mercury’s rocky surface has a thick layer or “mantle” which is hot liquid material,or molten rock.
I think the U.S shouldn't spend any money for traveling in space. We should spend the little money we have more important things like finding a cure for cancer or buying food for starving people. We shouldn't even study any other planets because it is a huge waste of money, when we could be using it for more important things.

Astronomy Hoaxes
Egg Hoax
This hoax is very untrue. An egg can not stand straight up on any normal day or on the equinox because the yolk and such inside of the egg. The equinox stands for the first day of fall or spring there is nothing special to make an egg stand straight up. Some people may be able to stand an egg straight up on it's end with a lot of patients, but it has nothing to do with the equinox.

The Great Moon Hoax
On August 25, 1835 the New York Sun announced the discovery of life on the moon. It explained that the discovery had been made by the famous British astronomer Sir John Herschel, who had invented a new telescope. Over the course of the next week the Sun printed details about the moon creatures Herschel had supposedly spied with his telescope. This is a hoax because they is no life forms living on the moon. Sir John Herschel's false discovery excited many people in america and the New York Sun sold many copies of their newspaper.
