Presentation transcript:

The Sun The sun is a yellow star that has a system of planets around it. This is called a solar system. The temperature on the sun is around 5500°C! The sun is nearly 93 million miles away from Earth!

The Planets

Orbit The sun has a large amount of gravity. It is this gravitational pull from the sun that causes the planets to orbit around the sun.

Space Exploration

Space Monkey Albert II was the first monkey in space. Albert went into space on 14th June, 1949 in a specially adapted American V2 rocket, that flew to a height of 83 miles from earth.

Sputnik On 4th October 1957, Russia launched the first satellite into space; Sputnik 1, and the space age had properly begun! Sputnik was the first satellite in orbit around the earth. Today there are over 500 working satellites in space. Sputnik means "Satellite" in Russian.

Laika In November 1957, the Russian space dog Laika became the first animal to orbit the earth. Laika travelled in a spacecraft known as Sputnik 2. Laika means "Barker" in Russian, and her mission helped scientists understand whether people could survive in space.

The Space Race By 1959 Both American and Russian scientists were in a race to get a spacecraft to the Moon. The Russians made it first when their space-probe crash landed on the moon at a speed that would have killed an astronaut had they been travelling in it!

Yuri Gagarin On 12th April 1961, Russian Cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin became the first man in space. Gagarin's spacecraft, Vostok 1, completed one orbit of the earth, and landed about two hours after launch.

Man on the Moon! On 20th July 1969, Neil Armstrong, and then Buzz Aldrin took "one small step" and became the first men on the moon. The first words said on the moon were "the Eagle has landed". Their spaceship, Apollo 11 worked perfectly, flying them 250,000 miles to the moon, and bringing them all the way back safely to earth.
