Long ago, when space was new, some stars that didn’t have planets near them felt lonely. So one day they gathered, and six adult stars came forward. They harnessed their Starlight Power into their arms and formed a circle. When their arms touched, there was a blinding flash. Everyone looked away painfully. When they could look in comfort, a blue and green planet hovered above the circle. “Earth.” the community whispered in unison. From all the Starlight Power transferred into Earth, he became the most powerful planet in the universe. But despite being the most powerful planet in the universe, Earth sometimes got lonely. So the children stars came together and made Moon. Like most of the children, Moon was rowdy. But there was one star that was extremely quiet. As a result, Moon possessed this habit. Moon and Earth became good friends. Many days later, the rumor that new planets were being born had passed to Planet 9. He wanted to try. So he came over and asked the stars if he could make a planet. . Susana Angulo, Christy Brown, . Teresa Morales, Robin Reichenbach. Physical Science 2004. Spring 2009. Dianne Phillips.

As Commander of the International Space Station, Chris Hadfield captivated the world with stunning photos and commentary from space. Now, in his first book, Chris offers readers extraordinary stories from his life as an astronaut, and shows how to make the impossible a reality. Chris Hadfield decided to become an astronaut after watching the Apollo moon landing with his family on Stag Island, Ontario, when he was nine years old, and it was impossible for Canadians to be astronauts. In 2013, he served as Commander of the International Space Station orbiting the Earth during a five-month mission. Fulfilling this lifelong dream required intense focus, natural ability and a singular commitment to “thinking like an astronaut.” In An Astronaut’s Guide to Life on Earth, Chris gives us a rare insider’s perspective on just what that kind of thinking involves, and how earthbound humans can use it to achieve success and happiness in their lives.Astronaut training turns popular wisdom about how to be successful on its head. Instead of visualizing victory, astronauts prepare for the worst always sweat the small stuff and do care what others think. Chris shows how this unique education comes into play with dramatic anecdotes about going blind during a spacewalk, getting rid of a live snake while piloting a plane, and docking with space station Mir when laser tracking systems fail at the critical moment. Along the way, he shares exhilarating experiences, and challenges, from his 144 days on the ISS, and provides an unforgettable answer to his most-asked question: What’s it really like in outer space?Written with humour, humility and a profound optimism for the future of space exploration, An Astronaut’s Guide to Life on Earth offers readers not just the inspiring story of one man’s journey to the ISS, but the opportunity to step into his space-boots and think like an astronaut—and renew their commitment to pursuing their own dreams, big or small. Former NASA astronaut Terry Virts offers an insider\'s guide to astronauting—a behind-the-scenes look at the training, the basic rules, lessons, and procedures of space travel, including how to deal with a dead body in space, what it’s like to film an IMAX movie in orbit, what exactly to do when nature calls, and much more, in 50 brief chapters.   A beautifully illustrated presentation of 250 milestones in the history of our home planet, from celebrated geologist and planetary scientist Jim Bell.   Spanning Earth’s entire history, from its birth 4.6 billion years ago to its inevitable destruction billions of years into the future, this stunning volume chronicles the life of our home planet in 250 well-chosen milestones. Jim Bell leads us on a tour of the events, processes, people, and places that have shaped our growing knowledge of Earth, from the oceans’ formation and the first perilous polar expeditions to deadly volcanoes and Earth “selfies” from space. He covers relevant topics in a range of fields, including physics, chemistry, biology, astronomy, geology, mineralogy, planetary science, life science, public policy, atmospheric/climate science, and engineering, along with notes on key scientists and inventors. At a time when it\'s crucial to understand Earth as a complex interdependent system, and our role in that system, The Earth Book will enhance your appreciation of our home. Class II A & B.
