On Monday October 26th, my class went to the American Museum of Natural History, to further our studies about how the Universe was created. We went to the Rose Center where we saw different bodies that were similar to our own body. For example, my body is Alpha Centauri. Since they didn't have my body I focused on the Sun. We also went to the Hall of meteorites, where we saw rocks, and we also saw a short movie about Mars. My class also went to the planiterium, where we learned about the journey to the stars.
I learned that the Sun will vanish in about 500 billion years. It's going to slowly turn into ashes, then over time it will be vanished leaving only the center of the Sun. Over time the center of the Sun will start to fade away until it is nomore. I also learned about the stars. Stars are different from one another, some are older then the Sun. Stars could have even exsisted when the Universe started. I also learned about Chrodrules. Chrondrules are frozen pieces of Nebula that can be found in meteorites. It also tells us information about our solar system.
Even though I learned a lot I still have some questions about the Universe and my body. What is Alpha centauri? I mean I know it's a star but what more is it. Also what is something that can destroy the Sun before it vanishes? Is that even possible?
