The Rings Of Saturn

The rings of Saturn were are made from space debris colliding with a moon. After the collision the debris was then pulled in Saturn's gravity like a tractor beam and was the floating around Saturn to the form the rings. They dont orbit it either. They are just there.(pic on the right) There is a system of these rings called THE RING SYSTEM OF SATURN. In this system it is divided into 5 major components. These componets are the G,F,A,B and C rings of Saturn. F and G are hard to see because they are the thin ones in space, while A,B and C are broad and easily visible. Also there is a huge gap between A and B. This gap is known as the Cassini Division. In addition a spaceship called Pioneer 11 in 1979 was blasted off into space and the ship took pictures of the rings to get a better understanding of what they really were. These pics were better than the other ones the telescopes took. The image “http://www.outer-space-art-gallery.com/images/bergeronsaturn.jpg” cannot be displayed, because it contains errors.

Saturn Accretion

The first step in Saturn's formation is it was first a solar nebula about 4.6 billion years ago.Saturn in this state was nothing but a huge cloud of dust and cold gas which was distributed by colliding with another cloud or the shockwaves of a supernova. After this stage the cloud compressed down forming Saturn's protostar. Next the ices from the protostar combined and clumped together to form larger and larger planetesimals. Then these planetesimals formed in a planet of saturn but not the one we know today. It was first a protoplanet before it got its rings. Particles from a moon and space debris collided to go around Saturn to form its rings and the planet Saturn today was born. Accretion is the formation of when  a nebula forms into a planet.http://www.fpsoftlab.com/images/screenshots/saturn-400x300.jpg

THE BLACK HOLE

http://faraday.fc.up.pt/cfp/Members/paccetti/black_hole_milkyway.jpgThere are many black holes in the universe. Our naked eye or the best telescopes in the world cant find them because they are invisible. In my opinion these black holes represent "THE BEASTS OF THE UNIVERSE" because they eat anything up that comes to it. If you entered inside of a black hole you would die because the gravity is so strong you cant do anything about but just get squashed. STAY AWAY FROM BLACK HOLES!!!! These things can stretch you until you are broken in 2. Inside the black hole you are in the event horizon which means there is no where else to go but down further and further into the black hole until you a blinding light which signals death for you. Inside a black hole it really isnt black it has bright colors and some are black. See the picture. Possibly in the future of the universe our sun can possibly turn into either a red giant or a black hole which would the solar system forever.The image “http://www.bc.cc.ca.us/planetarium/blackhole/blackhole.jpg” cannot be displayed, because it contains errors.

IS PLUTO A PLANET?

http://www.iranian.com/main/files/blogimages/pluto.jpgBack in the 20th century Pluto was considered a planet.but now in the 21st century its not considered a planet anymore because it was apart of the Kuiper Belt. Also its not a planet anymore because it doesn't have enough gravitational pull yo govern all other objects in orbit. My body(Saturn) is a planet because its spherical with 2 rings, it clears its orbit and it orbits around a star(our sun).

SATURNS INFO

THE DIAMETER OF MY PLANET SATURN IS 120,536KM. MY BODY CAN FIT ABOUT 12 SATURNS INTO IT. THIS PLANET ALSO POSSESSES 2 RINGS AROUND THE PLANET.
