Silly Astronomy Tweet of mine

Here's my own silly astronomy theory we move earth by asteroids so it doesn't get engulfed by the sun's red giant stage.

Something out of the Blue when I tweeted this silly Astronomy tweet - heck it's my own silly little theory not to be taken seriously.

Another Astronomy Moment

Here's another astronomy moment and this one is how many days does it take the planet to orbit around the Sun.

• Mercury takes 88 days to complete it's orbit around the sun
• Venus takes.... more than a year to complete it's orbit around the sun
• Earth our planet takes 365 days which is one year to orbit the sun
• Mars takes nearly 687 days that's 1.88 years to complete it's orbit around the sun
• Jupiter takes a whopping 4,332 days to complete it's orbit around the sun
• Saturn takes 10,755.7 days to complete it's orbit around the sun that's more days then Jupiter
• Uranus takes 30,687 days to complete it's orbit around the sun that's more days then Jupiter or Saturn!
• Neptune takes 60,190 days to complete it's orbit around the sun that's more days then Jupiter, Saturn, and Uranus!
• Pluto takes a huge number days of 90,155 days to complete it's orbit around the sun that's more days then Jupiter,Saturn,Uranus, and Neptune!

Here's all planets and how does it take to complete it's orbit around the sun now you know how many days does each planet take to complete a orbit

Now for a cool Astronomy Moment

Let's say you weigh about 95 pounds on Earth.
Check out this list on how much you'll weigh on other planets

• Moon: 15 pounds
• Pluto: 3 Pounds
• Jupiter: 222 Pounds (like whoa!)
• Mercury: 27 Pounds
• Venus: 86 Pounds
• Saturn: 87 Pounds
• Mars: 36 Pounds

You see the mass of the planets effect the gravitational pull like for Jupiter it's a gas giant but it's mass is much heavier compared to Earth.

Small update why this isn't being updated

I have some troubles doing astronomy which I love and I may bring in some friends to post their astronomical stuff here once I form my team up and when I do that this will be filled with those who like astronomy and they can post anything they would like as long it's a fine good post for this blog. So my update is that I just have little time to do things in astronomy which I love to do still.

Today an amazing discovery today!

Well while I was out to find the ISS in the sky and I saw the ISS which is the brightest star in the sky and the reason this is the brightest star in the sky is that the solar panels are lighted up by the sun in space and this what causes this to be the brightest star. And it was the coolest thing to see in the night sky as the moving brightest star!
