A passage from the book that interest me the most is,
“Many meteoroids move around the sun in swarms; each time the Earth passes through a swarm we see a shower of shoot stars. The swarms are remains of dead comets. The most spectacular annual shower is known as the Perseids (25 July to 18 August). —Meteorite falls have been recorded, but major falls are rare and — meteoric bodies would prove a major hazard in space research but it is now clear that the danger is less than was originally thought.” This passage was interesting to me because I never really knew much about meteors and now I know they are not common and that it is not dangerous in space. I found out that meteors are caused by tiny grains of dust, also that the moving speed is 45 kilometers per second and become intensely hot from friction with the air and burn up. Overall this passage and book taught me more about space than ever.

After reading this book, I understand a little more about space. I learned about star clusters which are several dozen to several hundred stars that can be seen from the naked eye. I am most likely not to forget the things I learned because I may want to change my profession from actor to a space scientist because I really like to enjoy learning about planets or types of weather. Last year science, when we had to learn about space and I was dumbfounded on how interesting it was to me.

I find your book interesting and I'm considering about reading that book. I like how you state your opinions and they are not boring. Another thing I like about your blog is that in the last sentence of your 3rd paragraph you said the word "dumbfounded" instead of surprised. One thing I recommend is to revice the last sentence of your 1st paragraph because ,"Another thing is what nebulae are made up of" sounds weird and it doesn't have much detail.
ReplyDeleteThis is really good, your writing was interesting and you kept giving details making your summary not boring. I really never knew that meteors were not considered to be dangerous in space, so I am learning from your summary. Also it was nice to hear your opinions, but not to the point where the summary was about what you thought, so you balanced it well. Nice job.
ReplyDeleteIn your non-fiction book, "Guid To Stars And Planets" I found it interesting and learned new things I haven't learned about space. I liked how you used the word "dumbfounded" instead of another word like surprised. But what I would recommend is that you should add more details on why you find your non-fiction book interesting and why you chose the book. But good job!
