Astronomist (I know... Astronomer)



O6 worked hard, enlisted some help from Mum and Dad and created a scale model of the solar system as an entry to the Katikati Homeschoolers Science Fair.


We rocked on up, O carefully set up his display, complete with asteroid belt and Kuiper belt, stars and planet facts.


When interviewed by the judges O displayed his love of all things astronomical and his wealth of knowledge about the universe. A question as to the position of the asteroid belt was met with a disdainful look from O as he pointed to the gravel he had positioned to represent the asteroid belt and Mars and Jupiter either side.


Quote of the day:

O answering the question whether he wanted to be an astronaut when he grew up...


"Oh, no....I might get pulled into a black hole and be lost forever.


Bless.


Oh, and another thing. O6 won first place for his age group.


Well done my science guy.
