About the Authors

Hi everyone.


Tanna's email is currently not working, so her about me page is not working. Shiri isn't just doing the website alone. Shiri and Tanna are still doing the website together.


We will try to fix it soon.

Youtube Videos

Hi everyone,


Just letting you know now, we have our own YouTube channel!
Now, you can view some of our videos on YouTube!
So far, we've posted 2 videos, but that's just the start. We're in the middle of making an Astronomy imovie, which we will put on YouTube. 
Search up Believe in Stardust. The first one that appears would say "Believe in Stardust!" Click on it. 


Then there is another one. What you have to do, is search up Star Signs. But, after you search Star signs DON'T ENTER!, Write Poppicorns4U. Poppicorns4U is our YouTube name. You can view our channel by pressing on that name in videos. Feel free to comment, and view our videos!


Thanks,


Shiri and Tanna

Hello World

Hi everyone,


Since we have NO idea what to post on, we decided we would tell you information on how the world started. Please note that some of the information that we give may not be true because we didn't live back in 0001 when the world started.


How people thought the world began
*Most scientists think that there was a "big bang". Then everything came to life from that bang. Do you think that is how the world was created?


*Some people believe that G-d created the world. Many religious Jewish people would believe that. Do you think that is how the world was created?


*And others, think that the world, planets and our universe was all made up from metal, dust, dirt and sand. Do you think that is how the world was created?


*You think about how our world was created.. Maybe you would think of something we wouldn't even imaging that happened!


If we didn't have our galaxy, we wouldn't be here, and we wouldn't be typing this right now. Thanks to whoever or whatever created the whole universe, we are now here. We should say thank you to what we are given. Earth is the planet that Human beings live in. Without Earth, no human would be existing right now! If we didn't have our sun, how were we meant to have day, light and the Earth hot? Without the moon, how would there be light and dark, and time to sleep? Some information is absolutely impossible to discover, but some information can be discovered.


If you would like to learn more about our universe, planets, galaxies, and more, search up on google anything you would like to know!


Thanks for reading,


Shiri and Tanna ;-)

Star gazing

Hi everyone.


If you would like to see some stars in the night, here is some information and tips on what to do or what you should do when you are star gazing.


Each night, many people love to look at stars in the sky. Star gazing is one of the world's most popular activity to do. To begin your star gazing, you need absolutely nothing, except your eyes. If you would like to see stars in an amazing view, try star gazing miles away from light poles, or bright things. Try going somewhere that is very dark so the stars will stand out in the night sky. Let your eyes get used to the dark before you start to star gaze.


Wrapping up tight Trailing stars
On cold nights, wear very Even with a simple
warm clothes such as camera you can take
coats, jumpers, a scarf, pictures of the night
and some gloves. These sky!
clothes will keep your body
warm.
Some people like warm things
A hot chocolate, with a snack or
another drink such as water will
keep you warm and keep the
cold out.

Jot what you saw
Take a notebook and a
pencil and write down what
you saw.


The stars look brightest on clear, cold winter nights. The night sky is full of stars. Just using our eyes, we can see way more stars then what we think we can see. In some places in space, great glowing clouds of gas and dust appear among the stars. These special clouds are named Nebulas.

More information coming soon!
