I learnt about the eclipses and moon phases and a bunch of other things. We also used the Stellarium Web to find and explore different galxies/planets/stars/etc. It was a fun lesson overall and I enjoyed it. The videos were a little laggy but understandable. There were not much activities but I am fine with that.

Today we were tasked to create a presentation on what we have learnt the previous week. Some presentations were more engaging than others. In my group, we spent a little too much time(?) on the trivial matters (a.k.a memes). However, one of our group members had screenshots of last week's lessons, which sped up the process of creating the slides. This was overall a fun lesson as I got to know my other CCA-mates better during the groupwork. Thus, I look forward to more groupworks as such.

Qn1) The universe is so big that using km would make the number way too large.
Qn2) Somewhere that i do not know.
Very fun:) but wish it could be in an air-conditioned room as it was very humid.

Qn1) idk they will probably ignore my ideas/sentences due to their own beliefs and the fact that they are verry adamant about their perspectives.
Qn2) Use radiation to send wavelengths at a certain frequency such that the stars will become visible

Today we learnt about telescopes. We learnt how to use, disassemble and assemble them. The knowledge of knowing how to do those would help me with stargazing events as i could help out :). Overall i really enjoyed this lesson and hope for more.

Today we did a 'debate' about which planet should we invest more in for a "second earth". My group and I had fun researching and presenting about which planet we should invest more in. But, I feel like we should have been given slightly more time to research. and prepare as our group was just reading off the slides

I believe that that Galileo Galilei had a greater influence in Astronomy as he was the first to deduce the cause of the uneven waning as light occlusion from lunar mountains and craters. In his study, he also made topographical charts, estimating the heights of the mountains. He also proved that the Moon was not a perfect sphere or translucent, which was thought to be as such before he used a telescope to view the moon. Furthermore, he discovered Jupiter's moons, phases of Venus, came up with the Theory of Tides and more. Thus he has made a great contribution.

Q1:
Add someways to heat up the moonbase such that it is not cold.
Increases size of the base such that it can accomodate more people and research facilities.
Add the proper rooms for resting.
Implement safety measures.
Q2: No. 1 in the first question. Add light sources in the moonbase
I think that today's lesson was fun like the previous. We were tasked with creating and designing a moonbase in TinkerCad. Using TinkerCad was very frustrsting especially without a mouse for easier use of the said platform. So, next time i hope that i don't have to use TinkerCad (pls).

Q1: I think it would be nearly impossible to built a spacebase on Mecury because it would be too close to the Sun to be able to sustain a spacebase there. Furthermore, Mecury has extreme conditions such that the spacebase would be barely be built before it is able to sustain life & research. Building a spacebase on Mecury would be not feasible and no one would want to even built a spacebase on there even if research potential is there, or even if someone is willing to do so, there would be not enough manpower (probably) to built a spacebase.

Today, we learnt how to launch a rocket in KSP along with the parts and all. Then, we played a blooket gane which served as a recap for us. Overall, the lesson was quite fun and interesting. But, i really wished that we could've done a little more.

A core, some random things in the crust [the thing between the core and surface] such as neutrons(obv), the surface which is probably composed of other things.
Hydrogen in its core(obv x2), stuff between the core and the surface and the surface which is also composed of other things that i completely dont know

A person hides the transmitter, then, we use how loud or how soft the beeping sounds is to find the transmitter.
By doing this, I think that we can use the skills we learn in fox hunting and use it to find celestial objects in the galaxies. Fox hunting is played by listening to the beeping sounds produced by the radio waves emitted from the transmitter. Similarly, we can use the same radio waves to find different celestial objects with the antenna.
Overall, this lesson was very fun and interesting and i hope for more as such lessons. Though it was fun, on the 2nd round, we found out they were moving the transmitter around which was interfering with the signals. But eventually, our team found it. I js hope that this never happens again..

you become a math teacher in Secondary school and you have to know this to teach; some jobs.
Use binary stars -- 2 stars that orbit around the same celestial object. And find the mean distance between the two stars in AU, and the time it takes for the two stars to revolve around one another in Earth Years. Mass = distance3/period2 (total mass) [idk for each]
Great lesson :D. hope for more.

Stellar spectrometry can be applied in some research as well as explain why some things happen, e.g., why plants are mostly green adn not any other colour, etc. Spectrometry can also be used to find the most suitable environment for an experiment to take place, such that the experiment's results are more accurate.
Overall, i think that this lesson was interesting and yea.

Today, we learnt the stellar evolution and different types of star clusters - Globular, open and associations. We also learnt about the HR diagram which helps us differentiate the different type of stars. overall, this lesson was kinda good and /we also played blooket it was kinda fun/ ok thats it bye bye

Exit ticket:
The fact that though the Sun may be calmer than most stars, it could still release super flares or geomagnetic storms so strong that it could deal trillions of dollars in damage and very long to repair every affected system.
Today, we did fox hunting (Again) and learnt more about our sun. The fox hunting was better this time as there were less complications today. However, due to the prelims and oral, we could not extend the range of the hunting to more than L1, -which was quite disappointing. but still, fun lesson :D.
