Mars Super-volcanoes?

Mars is a planet that now is a lifeless world with craters, volcanoes ice caps , and canyons. However Mars has once held life, And an atmosphere thanks to its volcanoes
But now the Planet has no known volcanic activity found so far. But pictures of some of the craters seem odd. They most likely were not normal volcanic or meteor craters. they had a similar landform that we see on Earth, a caldera. Calderas form when a massive magma chamber gains pressure and some magma rises. This causes the pressure to release suddenly, witch causes the land to collapse into the partly emptied magma chamber . Ash and lava then devastates hundreds of miles. This eruption is called a super volcano. There are several of them in the world. Scientist found at least three calderas on mars these super volcanoes would have majorly effected the red planet.
Large piece of Russian meteorite found
 Earlier this year a meteor exploded over Chelyabinsk Russia. Pieces flew everywhere. These pieces were very small. The main mass of it splash landed in a lake. Recently Russians managed to recover the large meteorite from the lake. The meteorite could be worth several thousands of dollars.
Scientists believe they have pulled part of the meteorite from Chebarkul Lake near Chelyabinsk, about 930 miles east of Moscow.

10,000 people want to go to mars and never return

with the retirement of the space shuttle people scientist have came up with a rocket design to take a crew to mars. The Ares rocket is the design they came up with. They
think that they can sent the manned rocket to mars by 2030. This is huge. This will retire the mars rovers. How ever the mission will cost a billion dollars. See the video of the mission on youtube the video is called : MARS [NEW!!!]Constellation(DEFUNCT)/SLS : Manned Mission to mars.
Comet Ison information

Its October and people all over the world are wanting to see comet Ison . The comet will be seen in the first two weeks of November. Russian scientists Vitali Nevski ,and Artyom Novichonok, discovered Ison. The comet has a diameter of three miles and is possible to be two times brighter then the moon. It is named the comet of the century.
How Earth and other planets Were formed



Thousands of years after the sun was born, dust swarmed around the sun. These rock particles started to collect together, then forming rocks. These rocks form boulders, boulders form bigger boulders then they get big enough to have its own gravity, then sucks in rocks and dust, then finally the planets were formed, but there were hundreds of planets back then the planets had to survive a demolition derby. Planets hitting each other was a daily thing. Meanwhile earth was a molten ball of lava. Meteorites rained from the sky. the nickel in side the meteorites was heavier than the lava so it sank to make the core of Earth. Other planets kept on crashing into each other for thousands of years. Then things started slowing down. Impacts became less often. Earth started cooling down, and the surface lava became a thick crust. But then a planet the size of mars hit earth. Causing debree to fly into space and form a ring. The pieces in the ring clumped together to form the moon. At this time the planets we see today were the surviving planets all the rest turned into asteroids, and comets , and moons. Some scientists say that there was another major planet thousands of years ago. There evidence was traces a lithium in the sun. Stars usually don't have lithium so some people believe that a planet bigger then Jupiter, that was made of lithium crashed into the sun and was completely destroyed. After the battle of worlds, Earth grew volcanoes the volcanoes pumped gasses such as nitrogen and carbon dioxide , and water particles. Meteorites brought small water particles that formed puddles. This went on for a long time. Earths orbit was not the same. at one point earth froze into a giant ice age. This time was also known as snowball Earth. After the ice age volcanoes kept erupting and something was happening to earth under the seas. Plants formed during the last years of the ice age. These plants produced oxygen witch eventually brought life.
Galaxies and their formation

The MilkyWay formed from dust and gas from the big bang. Gravity then collected the dust and gas.  The gas forms millions of stars. The gravity gets so strong towards the center of the galaxy and creates a supermassive black hole that causes the stars to spin around the galaxy. That's how the MilkyWay, and other whirlpool galaxies form. Some don't get there black hole and are less organized. Each galaxy holds thousand to trillions, of stars. And there are millions of galaxies. Are galaxy has a close enemy that will eventually bash into the MilkyWay causing the two galaxies to charge at each other many times. Then will make a huge galaxy.
The Big Bang

The big bang was when space ,and time itself were born. U see the universe was created by a single atom like object that held all the elements of the universe. Then it blew up scientists still don't know what caused it but there are many ideas one idea is that the big bang has happened many times. Space is expanding so they think that gravity eventually gets so strong the universe crunches down to an atom then explodes again similar to a supernova. The big bang was first thought about because scientists looked at distant galaxy's and noticed there speeding away from us. They then thought why. Then a theory of the big bang was born. The big bang is causing space to grow bigger and bigger by the second. Recent discoveries about the universe is that the growth isn't slowing down its speeding up. Witch means that the big bang only happened one time
and in the future stars will be so far away that when they die there will be not enough fuel to form stars and the stars will start blinking out first the big stars then the small ones tell eventually the universe will be dark and cold. Tragic , but were lucky to be alive life will be impossible in a few trillion years. another possible event is that space will expand so fast it will rip galaxies, stars, and even planets!  both event are very far in the future .What caused the big bang is almost impossible to find out all science before the big bang doesn't make since. In my opinion there is only one reasonable reason and that's god. I believe god created the universe to create life the universe is the power of god.
Stars

stars are made of gas and plasma that come from a nova the nova causes a disk then gravity crushes the dust to make a star. Stars are extremely hot. The surface of the sun is 10,000 degrees Fahrenheit and 27,000,000 degrees in the core but some stars are even hotter. Are sun is a medium type star there are white dwarfs, black dwarfs, blue giants, red giants blue super-giants, red super-giants, and red and blue hyper-giants
an example of a hyper giant is VY Canis Majoris, its the biggest star ever discovered before. Are sun is made of hydrogen, and helium gasses. The bigger the star the faster it dies, and the most destructive. Are star is to small for a major death. some stars when they die cause supernovas. Supernovas are caused when a star starts running out of hydrogen when the stars out of hydrogen it starts fusing helium witch makes iron the iron kills the star, the iron attracts more and more helium, causing the star to collapse
then the collapsed core explodes into a supernova. or if the stars big enough it could collapse to the point were it bends gravity causing a black hole. If a supernova exploded 3 or 4 light years away earth would be toast . Most stars only have one star per solar system but they recently discovered many double star solar systems with one star orbiting the other stars are unique and they light up the universe.
