This article was interesting to me because I like astronomy and like to learn stuff about the stars and space. The article mentions that scientists have found another galaxy beyond our own that has a black hole that is 100 million times the mass of our sun. Also one philosopher had said that the black hole doesn't suck things in but it pushes them out. That's something I learned from this article. I would recommend this site for my classmates because it tells us partially that there are other galaxies out there and gives us a little bit of information so we could know more then just about our own galaxy. The sources are at the bottom of the page and sited to where you know where they got the information from at least. My question to scientists is what is on the other side of the black holes in space? The only problem with my question is no one has been able to go out and find out and come back. Black holes that I have found out just lead to the abyss.

I liked this small article about Venus because as I mentioned before I like astronomy. This one was interesting because scientists are still confused about what happened on the planets' surface to make the spot visible to astronomers. Some think it could be from a meteor collision and others think it could be from a series of other events. This is a good short article to read if you don't like to read a whole lot and if you like to learn about the planets. The source is listed at the beginning of the article, well the website it first came from. Why couldn't they just send a robot to Venus like they did to Mars to find out what is causing the spot to expand and also find out what the spot is contained of?

This article was interesting to me because I think most of it is true. Everyone expects a lot from teens. What I learned was apparently the expectations are more for girls rather than guys. I would recommend this to not only a classmate but also to a teacher or parent. Most teens feel overstressed and trying to reach parents or teachers expectations have a big part of the students' thoughts and mental preperation. The sites were cited pretty good on this article. There were no pictures on it. My question about this topic is why are the expectiations so high for teens and young adults?
