Mission Day Part 2: The Planets

 We turned our classroom into our own personal solar system. Here is a linear view of the outer planets. Uranus is closest to the camera, then Neptune, Saturn, and Jupiter. We realized that Neptune and Uranus were reversed but since I had already dropped Neptune once from it's fishing line hammock, we left it there.

 Here are our inner planets from a distance, Mars is closest to the camera and then of course, Earth, Venus, Mercury and the sun. 

 Here is our outer planets again from a far. You can see Pluto, Jupiter's big red spot, and Neptune's blue wind storm from this angle!

 
 Here's an up close of Venus. Didn't Sam and Binti do a great job painting it? It really looks fiery and boiling hot!

Saturn has some pretty amazing wire rings! It was painted so well too. You would never know that their planet's balloon exploded twice and they had to roll paper towels for what seemed like an eternity to get this beautiful planet to look like this! 

 Jupiter... the biggest planet in the solar system! And it's huge red storm spot!

 
 Neptune and Uranus may be in the wrong order but they are two beautiful blue and gaseous planets aren't they?
