My imparticulary favorite part about Earth Science is astronomy, because astronomy deals with the study of the stars.I find it interesting how some people believe they can tell your future by looking at the stars and know the day you were born. I also find it interesting how someone can find out which way North is by just looking at a certain star out of over millions of them in the sky. It has been millions since people first started using this way of passage and still we use it when in dire need or just for the sense of knowing.
Even the Northern Lights are a sight to behold, they are lights that light up the sky and are a wonder to see. This is caused because the sun gives off high-energy charged particles that travel out into space at speeds of 300 to 1200 kilometres per second. Just that fact makes it a very special occassion, because certain things have to happen, for these magnificent lights to show just above the Earth.
