On Monday, October 26, 2009, my class visited the American Museum of Natural History. When we went to the Rose Hall for Earth and Space, i learned about my weight on different planets and moons, but I couldn't find any information on the Crab Nebula. In the Hall of Meteorites, me and a bunch of other people went searching for the answers on our sheet and learned a lot about Cape York. In the "Journey to the Stars" movie, I sat back and relaxed while taking an exciting journey through space while learning about stars.
While in the museum, i learned about Cape York (what it is and when it happened). I also learned about different types of stars (when they are born, how long they live, how/when they die). I also about what meteorites are and where they come from.
The only to questions i have left after our visit are ones that I couldn't find the answers to. Where is my nebula? (I couldn't find ANY information!) And why is my nebula called the "Crab" Nebula? (Is it in the constelation of Cancer the Crab?)
