Astronomy Project Wiki

By Sam and Kyle 

     The astronomy comic is a project where you have the possession of a spaceship that can travel throughout the whole universe. In this project, we come in contact with many objects in space including the eight planets. This project can give you a lot more knowledge because of the research involved, but is also more fun than the

usual project because it is a comic.
