This is a photo of the night sky over Ireland.
It shows some of the millions of stars in our galaxy.
It is cool to think that each of these could be a sun just like ours for some other planet!

The Earth in Space

We began our discussion about the Earth in space by looking at this very famous photo.

It's called "Earthrise" and it shows the Earth rising over the moon. It was taken during the Apollo 8 mission.

We then talked about how big we thought the Earth, Sun and Moon were when they are compared with one another.

Most of us thought that if the Sun was the size of a beachball then the Earth would be about the size of a football and the Moon would be about the size of tennis ball.

We headed out to the yard to see if we were right!

We found out from NASA's website that if the Sun was the size of a beachball then the Earth would be smaller than a pea!

Also, it would more than 110 metres away from the beachball!
