4.06.15 RW Speed write:The glittering spheres beyond the heavens.

[Introduction]
Stars stars stars everywhere they appear at night and in the day how do they appear in the day? You say well here is a known fact about stars it is that stars never go away. It’s just the bright sky blending in with the stars so the stars are actually hidden.



[ Appearances ]
The giant star may have disappeared from sight but it’s gravity remains. There are variety of colours some are blue,purple and silver.Most stars are too small to shine as bright as the sun. The brightest star is sirus and the second brightest is canopus.Stars hotness depends on its colour. Some stars are small because they are a huge distance away from earth.


[ Star life cycle ]
Stars are born in nebulae which is a clump of dust and gas. Stars take 2 million years to form into a flat disk and then it takes 18 million years for it to become a sphere that stage is called a protostar. Then heat will begin to rise after 12 million years atoms begin to grow bigger and bigger and the pressure causes the atoms to fuse together which turns hydrogen atoms to helium atoms. Although there is a battle happening at the same time because the gravity tries to crush the stars so the stars try to find a force to resist the gravitational pull.


[types of stars]
As most of you know the sun is also a star actually it’s one of the smallest star in our solar system but here is a hidden fact the sun is a gz dwarf star. Did you know A exploding star,supernova can generate shock waves so powerful that they compress a near by nebula. A supernovae are the most dynamic and energetic events in our universe. If you were wondering what supernovas are they are explosions generated by large stars when they come to the end of their life span.


[Conclusion]
There are stars that comes only on matariki those kind of star are all sisters. The light from the stars take millions of years to reach earth. By the time our sun has reached the red giant stage it will have expanded right out past mars.

  1. Kia ora Rachael,

    Wow what a great title! Well done on finishing your speedwrite within the 40 minutes. Just a note that when you are writing your information report, you do not copy and paste directly into your document. You must paraphrase and write the main ideas in your own words.

    You next learning steps are:
    1) Make sure that you proofread your work and find any grammatical or punctuation errors.
    2) Make sure that you use formal language (no it's or that's or they're - write the whole word down "it is" or "they are"
