Space!!!

Space is huge. Think of stars as grains of sand.  If you put them all on a beach the beach would have a thin amount of sand on 100x50 foot spot.  Scientists have just discovered seven planets that may have water. They are all orbiting the same star forty light years away.  A light year is the distance that light travels in one year

I think Jupiter should not be a planet. Do you know why? Because Jupiter has asteroids that are orbiting with it and my mom told me that in order for a planet to not be a planet it had to have bigger things than the object itself orbiting with it. And then I figured out that the dwarf planet in the Kuiper belt should be a planet.  

Space xDragon was launched in February of 2017 and I hope you like space.

    Wow Elliott! You seem to know a ton about space. I've always thought that space was kind of scary because it is so BIG! It makes me feel tiny knowing that I'm just one person spinning around on a planet in a giant universe. Do you have a favorite planet that you have learned about? I hope you keep exploring!

    Dear Elliott,
    I have heard that jupiter has at least like 9 moons in orbit and it is the biggest planet besides the sun which is a star.

    I think that the asteroids orbiting Jupiter are a lot smaller than Jupiter. Also, people that have a much higher IQ than you have figured out that the dwarf planet in the Kuiper belt should be a dwarf planet.
