    Planet Tralfamadore Analysis

    Genre #5: Post Card highlights the story of Billy Pilgrim's travel to the planet Tralfamadore. Like many places tourist go they often grab a 75 cent postcard to remember the places they went. Since Billy went to another planet I wanted to do something traveling related.

The postcard contains the aliens as well since they shaped Pilgrims view on life and time after his encounter with them. There might be a better genre to display the visit to Tralfamadore but doing a postcard sounded like a fun and creative path to take.…

    The Solar System: The Kuiper Belt

    The objects in the asteroid belts that are contained within the Solar System affect life on Earth today. These asteroid belts are the main asteroid belt and, the Kuiper Belt. Since these belts contain so many objects, there is diversity present within the objects. The asteroid belts consist of many categories of asteroids, the sizes of which, can vary greatly, ranging from a few meters to miles long. However, the mass of all discovered asteroids is still less than Earth’s mass. This is logical since the main asteroid belt only has the mass of about 4% of the Moon. Together, these belts contain remnants from the early formations of the Solar System about 4.6 billion years ago.…

    Stars and Solar System

    The Solar System consists of the Sun and its planetary system of eight planets, their moons, and other non-stellar objects. It formed 4.6 billion years ago from the gravitational collapse of a giant molecular cloud. The vast majority of the system's mass is in the Sun, with most of the remaining mass contained in Jupiter. The four smaller inner planets, Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars, also called the terrestrial planets, are primarily composed of rock and metal.…
