Stars making music!


The Site
A team of French astronomers found out that all stars give off a repeating rhythm, which experts think that each one is pulsating, or throbbing. The sound that the stars make are slightly different from each others, because the noise they make depends on their size, age and what they are made of.

Space tourist comes back to Earth


The Site
Richard Garriott, the computer games millionaire joined a group of astronauts on boarding the Russian Soyuz TMA-13 spacecraft. He took photos of Earth to see how its surface has changed in the past 35 years when his dad was in the space, taking pictures of Earth for 2 months.

Reflection about the video.....


I think the jazz music in the video is kind of crazy, I understood completely nothing. It is not bad but just I don't like it. I don't listen to jazz and I know nothing about it. Maybe what I heard in the John Coltrane video is normal for jazz musics, but to me it is just a bunch of noises, like listening to foreign languages.

Wildfires raging in California

The Site..
Somehow wildfires started at the north of Los Angeles, and so far two people had died from it and a lot of people had to leave their home.

China toy firms forced to close


The Site...

You must know and you should know that most of the things you use everyday is made in China, but if so many things are coming from China, why does the companies in China go out of business?
That's because the things do not meet the safety rule and because not many people buy toys now. Last year for example, lots of toys sent to UK were called back to China because of the safety issue..so be careful of what you use!

Why did we spend 225 mins looking and studying mass and volume when the question is Can Matter Disappear? I think we did it because we had to know that all the solid and liquid things have mass and volume so when we know that we might have a better grip on the question.
