    1. Solar eclipse happen when the moon blocks the sun for a few seconds or minutes.
    2. The art is pop art.
    3. Astronauts need to be fit because they need to survive the low gravity. They need at least 2.5 hours of training.
    4. I learned that meteorites can be very small to see but do less damage than bigger ones that can be easier to dodge but when hit does massive damage so they train for a long time.
