Astronomy Comic

Project Guidelines and Information:

In this project we had to make a comic book using all of the information that our partner collected in our packet.  This project made us learn all about astronomy, we learned all about planets, comets, asteroids, dwarf planets, stars, metiers and more.  This project also taught us how to work with partners through the internet without seeing them in person.

4. The structure and composition of the universe can be learned from the study of stars and galaxies, and their evolution.

1. Galaxies are clusters of billions of stars, and may have different shapes.
2. The sun is one of many stars in our own Milky Way galaxy. Stars may differ in size, temperature, and color.
3. How to use astronomical units and light years as measures of distance between the sun, stars, and Earth.
