Hazelle is sat, melancholy once more, behind her desk. The solar system floating above has an emphasis on the four Jovian planets.

Rachel sat down. She smiled and waved to the professor. It was nice to be in a class with her Head of House. "Hello. How are you? I haven't seen you in a while. What are we going to learn this class?"

Kerry entered the classroom, "Hello Professor," Kerry smiled. As she walked further into the room, her attention was immediately drawn to the ceiling which was transformed to show a beautiful solar system. Four particular planets were emphasized in the night sky above her. As Kerry found a seat, she continued to study the planets, trying to identify which ones they were.

Ariana walked into class, a bright, cheerful smile on her face as she hummed a silly song. She looked at Professor Belle and said, "Hello professor!" in a cheery voice as she sat down near the middle of the class, ready for a new lesson to begin.

"Four more planets," Hazelle replied with a wink, nodding a hello as each student entered.

Kennedy entered the classroom before the lesson began and took a seat at the front of the room. She greeted Professor Belle, got her materials prepared for class, and sat patiently awaiting the start of the lesson.

Alicia walked into the Astronomy classroom. "Hello Professor!" she said with a cheery smile. She took a seat in the middle of the classroom, waiting for the lesson to begin.

Hazelle stood and began to address the class. "Who can tell me what kind of planets we studied in our last class?"

shortfry · 04-30-2007, 11:25 PM

Kerry raised her hand, "I believe we talked about Terrestrial planets."

Golden Monkey · 04-30-2007, 11:25 PM

Ariana raised her hand, "Didn't we study Terrestrial planets professor? Like Earth, Mars..." she asked not quite sure of the answer. For the life of her she couldn't remember.

"Right. 1 point.

"Can anyone tell me something neat about Mars that was discovered recently?"

shortfry · 04-30-2007, 11:41 PM

Kerry raised her hand unsure of the answer, "Well, I heard something about Mars being hit by a rapid climate change that could melt it's southern ice caps, but I'm not sure if that's what you are looking for." Kerry said shrugging her shoulders willing to give it a try.

"Professor I heard that scientists may develop a probe for future planetary rovers that will help them study the history of the solar system by examining the properties of layers of material beneath the surface of the moon, Mars, comets and other planetary bodies." Ariana replied, confused as to wat she was asking. It was worth a shot though.

Marie raised her hand and said:" I've heard that Seven circular pits on the surface of Mars appear to be openings to underground caverns, researchers have announced.

The discovery of potential caves is exciting, the scientists said, because such underground formations may be the most promising places to look for signs of life." She was unsure of her answer but wanted to try anyway.

"Nope. A new survey by a The Mars Express probe shows that the South Pole on that planet has enough frozen water to cover the whole planet with an ocean approximately 36 feet deep. "The south polar layered deposits of Mars cover an area bigger than Texas. The amount of water they contain has been estimated before, but never with the level of confidence this radar makes possible," said study investigator Jeffrey Plaut of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory. The Mars Express is using the Advanced Radar for Subsurface and Ionospheric Sounding (MARSIS) to create virtual slices through the layered Martian surface to a depth of up to 2.3 miles. Scientists believe that layered deposits at the poles currently hold most of the known water on Mars."

She looked around the room, "Who can tell me what the next four planets are called?"

Eric raised his hand slowly. "Is it the Jovian planets?"

CelestialLight · 05-01-2007, 12:10 AM

"Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune," Vince said while raising his hand in the air.

Kerry knew her last answer was off, but a good fact to try anway, she laughed to herself. She raised her hand again, "The next four planets are called Jovian planets. They are Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune.
