My
today’s project is based on a world-famous photograph
of planet Earth, taken in 1990 by the Voyager
1 space
probe.
The photograph named Pale Blue Dot shows our planet from about 6
billion kilometres that is from the outside border of our Solar system. From
this distance Earth appears as a tiny dot against the vastness of space.
NASA took this picture of Earth at the
request of American astronomer Carl Sagan. His comment of this picture is
recorded in the following video:
I
decided to prepare a green alphabet and a crossword puzzle. I enjoyed this
project a lot and I learned quite a few new things. We must protect our mother
nature and our planet as it is our only home.
Vid Krašovec, 7. b
