Over the next couple of weeks, you will be working on a research assignment called the Astronomy Choice Project (ACP). Details for the assignment will

Black Holes
Black holes are end points in space that are at least 3 solar masses. Each black hole was once a star at a time. Black can suck in anything that gets in its gravitational pull. It basically crushes you once you get near it. There is at least 1 know black hole &nd they say eventually our Solar System is gonna get sucked into it.

Pluto
Pluto is a dwarf planet at the end of our Solar System. It has not yet cleared its orbit. Pluto has a moon called Charon. Charon is way bigger than Pluto. Eventually they will collide into each other &nd make one big moon.

Red Giants
They say the sun is suppose to become a red giant. It will be dimmer &nd colder then the Sun. Afterwards it will eventually fall into becoming a black hole.

Telescopes
There are many different telescopes. The very telescope made was the Hubble telescope. Each telescope is unique in it's own way. They each do someting the others can't do.

Jupiter's Moons
Jupiter has over 64 different moons. Ganymede is Jupiter's largest moon. Each moon is differently shaped from the others. There might even be more moons. Who knows.
