The mysteries of the Universe for children
Astronomy		Automatic translation
Curiosity characterizes the child to understand the surrounding objects, those that capture his eyes. Of all the objects, some are invisible but amazing, are the planets, asteroids, comets... The astronomy opens children's minds to observe behind the windows of our "spaceship" unfolds a beautiful landscape.		Astronomy is told as a story. For example: the solar system was created from a cloud of flour dust grains 10000, Sun has captured our huge 9986 grain flour. Of the remaining 14 grains, Jupiter, the largest planet in the system, captured 10 grains of flour. There were only four grains to other planets.		3 large planets, Neptune, Uranus and Saturn are shared 3 grains of dust cloud and the rest of the flour original, ie, 1 grain of dust, was used to produce the four terrestrial planets, Mars, Earth, Venus and Mercury. You, me and all the animals living on this dust that transports us into the universe.
Solar system Sun, our star to gigantic explosions The Sun is a variable star, i.e. a big ball of glowing gas that evolves over time. Mercury the planet of iron The proportion of iron of Mercury intrigue scientists. Venus has a surface temperature of 470 ° C. Venus has a surface temperature of 470 ° C, the surface temperature is hot enough to melt lead. Earth glides majestically on a ideal orbit The Earth is a miraculous blue dot, an oasis of life in the midst of the vastness of a universe without end. The Moon is the result of a gigantic collision A gigantic collision between the young Earth and an object the size of Mars would have ejected of matter around the Earth, which would eventually form the moon we know today. Mars presents itself at the view like a star red blood Mars presents itself at the view like a star red blood, this is perhaps why it is called the God of War. Phobos is doomed because its orbit is too close to Mars Phobos is so close to Mars 9380 km, it can not be seen above the horizon at any point on the surface of Mars. Deimos, a primitive meteorite The gravity of Deimos is so small that a man would escape the satellite by jumping, which is equivalent to a release rate of 10 m/s. Ceres is the largest object in the asteroid belt Ceres is the largest and most massive object in the asteroid belt, its mass alone accounts for one third of the total mass of the belt asteroids. Pallas is the second largest object in the asteroid belt Pallas is the second largest asteroid in the main asteroid belt. The object is according to U.S. researchers, a protoplanet. Juno was the third asteroid discovered in the Solar System Images taken at the Mount Wilson Observatory show that the small planet 240 km in diameter was completely disfigured by a collision. Vesta is the only asteroid visible to the naked eye Vesta is the brightest asteroid of all, it is named after the Roman goddess of health. This is the only asteroid visible to the naked eye. Jupiter, the protector of life on our planet Jupiter has 318 times the mass of Earth, played the role of shield, protector of life on our planet. Ganymede is the largest moon of Jupiter Ganymede bigger than Mercury, was discovered in 1610 by Galileo, this moon of Jupiter has a surface speckled with bright craters. Saturn's rings come from the dislocation of a large moon Saturn rotates so fast in 10 hours only that centrifugal force obliges the winds blow parallel to the equator. Titan, moon of Saturn, is the second largest satellite in the Solar System Titan is the only moon in the Solar System to possess a thick atmosphere of nitrogen (dinitrogen) and methane clouds, in which we can observe a very active meteorology. Uranus is almost lying on its orbit Uranus is composed primarily of rock and ice, with only 15% hydrogen and a little helium, while Jupiter and Saturn are composed almost entirely of hydrogen. Titania is the largest moon of Uranus One of its main characteristics Titania is the presence of a huge canyon, far more than the Grand Canyon on Earth, even order of magnitude as Valles Marineris on Mars. The blue color of Neptune explained by methane in the atmosphere Neptune was not discovered by observation but with pencil and paper from the trajectory and characteristics of Uranus. Triton is the largest satellite of Neptune Its orbit is retrograde, i.e. its direction of rotation is opposite to that of rotation of Neptune, this implies that Triton is a body outside was captured. The Kuiper Belt and trans-Neptunian objects Kuiper Belt imagined in 1951 by Dutch astronomer Gerard Kuiper, extending from the orbit of Neptune (30 AU) to approximately 100 AU. Pluto, the dwarf planet has 3 satellites, Charon, Nix and Hydra Pluto is not simply a ball of ice and rock but a dynamic world that undergoes dramatic atmospheric changes. Eris is an object frozen of the Kuiper Belt Eris is currently located 97 AU from the Sun and rotates around it in 557 years, in an orbit highly inclined approximately 44 °. Haumea and its two satellites, Namaka and Hi'iaka Haumea is one of the largest members of a family called TNO (Trans-Neptunian Object), its dimensions are 1960 × 1518 × 996 km. Oort cloud, beyond the Kuiper Belt Oort cloud is about 50,000 AU from the Sun, well beyond the Kuiper belt, it contains many billions of nuclei of comets more than 1.3 km. >>> Read more...
