The Somethingosaur

I read the children’s book called, ‘The Somethingosaur,’ last week.

This children’s picture book was written by Tony Mitton and illustrated by Russell Atto.

This delightful rhyming children’s picture book is about a lonely egg that hatches in a swamp.

What comes out of the egg is an unusual small creature that begins to search for his mum.

He travels high and low, and in the waste and the wild, until he finally finds her.

Now, he knows what type of creature he really is, and it wasn’t a Somethingosaur!

It’s a great book with a lovely story that children will like.

So, to find out what the small creature turned out to be, either read the book or watch it on YouTube. Then you can tell me what you think.

Is There An Electricity Accelerator On Jupiter?

The question is, “Is there an electricity accelerator on Jupiter?”

When we watch the natural light display of an aurora or northern lights as commonly known on Earth. We understand that they’re caused by electrically charged particles that are colliding with our planet Earth’s magnetic field.

Jupiter also showcases beautiful auroras. However, in September 2017 researchers detected a much a higher voltage in their light displays between 10 to 30 times higher than on Earth.

So, could we be looking at Jupiter all wrong?

Maybe it’s not just a planet.

Could it be a high voltage battery charger in space that can re-charge extra-terrestrial spacecrafts?

As UFO’s (Unidentified Flying Objects) and USO’s (Unidentified Submerged Objects) come to Earth frequently they must need to re-fuel with energy to continue their flight home.

But hey I’m no scientist, what do you think?

The Heart and the Bottle

I read the children’s book called, ‘The Heart and the Bottle,’ yesterday afternoon.

This children’s picture book was written by Oliver Jeffers.

This delightful children’s picture book is about a small girl that’s curious about the world. She also likes finding new things.

A small girl’s curiosity gets the better of her when she finds an empty chair. It makes her sad.

She’s so sad that she puts her heart into a glass bottle and wears it round her neck, but then it changed her.

She wasn’t curious anymore.

That was until she met someone small. Then she decided to get her heart back, but she didn’t know how to remove it from the bottle for she was now grown and could no longer remember.

It’s a beautiful story that encourages us to remain curious to all things even as we get older.

The story has a lovely ending.

Are you curious enough to find out what happens next?

If so, then either read the book or watch it on YouTube. Then you can tell me what you think.

Do Transformer Robots Exist?

The question is, “Do transform robots exist?”

The answer to that question is yes, but only in a tiny format.

Created by MIT and inspired by Origami.

A tiny robot can change exoskeletons to move about. It can roll, walk, float and even glide.

It’s a great piece of technology, that could be used in space.

I hope that one-day similar technology in implemented in our homes.

Just think how handy it would be to have one piece of equipment in the kitchen that can transform from an oven to washing machine, or the bed transforming into a wardrobe.

Now that would be really neat and space saving.

So, what do you think?

Scaredy-Cat Spat

I read the children’s book called, ‘Scaredy-Cat Spat,’ yesterday.

This children’s picture book was written by Rob Scotton.

This delightful children’s picture book is about a cat called Spat.

Splat the cat is scared of everything, so when he finds a spider he gets very scared indeed.

His mum puts the spider in a jar to keep it safe and to show Splat that the spider’s not at all scary.

No longer afraid, Splat decides on taking the spider to school to show at the Halloween party. All of his friends will be in Halloween costumes and the teacher will be giving out a prize for the scariest cat.

But then, Splat breaks his costume.

Oh no, what’s he going to do?

Can his mum make him a new costume in time?

To find out what happens next, either read the book or watch it on YouTube. Then you can tell me what you think.

Can Black Holes Merge?

The question is, “Can black holes merge?”

The answer to that question is yes, for in 2015 ripples were detected in the universe.

Astronomers then discovered signals coming from pairs of black holes that appeared to be colliding and merging together. Once merged it’ll create a black hole between twenty to fifty times larger than the sun.

“Oh No!”

Fortunately, it can’t harm us or our planet.

However, if Earth was to be pulled into one in the future, would our planet survive?

The experts say not, but they’ve never got close enough to even send a probe into one.

So, at the moment it’s all speculation.

For all we know these black holes could be portals or short cuts to other galaxies.

Once we get up to speed with space travel, then we’ll find out, but until then the experts can only speculate.

But hey I’m no scientist, what do you think?

Imagine

I read the children’s book called, ‘Imagine,’ a few days ago.

This children’s picture book was written by Mariju Katic and Dale Kern, with illustrations by Brittani Teitsma.

This delightful children’s picture book is about a young girl with a creative imagination.

She imagines the impossible each time she does something or goes out with a family member.

Children have wonderful creative minds. This book opens and encourages a creative imagination, unless you’re like me and already have one.

A lovely book for both children and adults to read.

So, how creative are you?

If you haven’t already read the book, then be creative now and either read the book or watch it on YouTube. Then you can tell me what you think.

Can A Magnet Field Shield Aliens?

The question is, “Can a Magnet Field Shield Aliens?”

A new study showed that the moon’s magnet field lasted one billion years longer than the experts first thought.

So, firstly what does the magnetic field do?

In the case of Earth’s magnetic field. It deflects radiation that’s emitted by the sun’s rays.

So, how do aliens come into it, you may ask?

A good question. The experts believe that other planets that have magnet fields, are concealing alien life forms.

Which I believe is correct, especially as our magnet field’s not shielding us from alien visitors?

With more and more sightings of UFO’s (Unidentified Flying Objects) and now with USO’s (Unidentified Submerged Objects) the aliens sure know of our existence.

But hey I’m not an expert, what do you think?

Diary of a Wombat

I read the children’s book called, ‘Diary of a Wombat,’ the other day.

This children’s picture book was written by Jackie French and illustrated by Bruce Whatley.

This delightful children’s picture book is about a wombat.

It’s an interesting book that tells the story of one lazy, grumpy wombat’s daily routine and how he manipulates people into getting what he wants; especially carrots or oats.

Funny that, he sounds very much like a couple of wombats I know!

It’s an interesting diary with a touch of humour that children and adults can enjoy.

So, why not take a peek and either read the book or watch it on YouTube. Then you can tell me what you really think about wombats.
