BellaOnline Forums Education Astronomy It's a new game - come and play The Universe Game!

Welcome to The Universe Game. This game is big time, since you can't get much bigger than the Universe.

Let's start with Pluto.

The next person only needs to suggest something--keeping the astronomy and space theme, of course--that's related to Pluto and say how it's related.

So I'll be the next person and say . . .

PLUTO

PLANET - it used to be one

The next word needs to be related in some way to "planet".

OK, over to you.

coldest and darkest

Whoops! Mea culpa. While editing my original post, I managed to delete a line of it, which meant it wasn't clear what to do next.

I've now put the line back in to show the succession is Pluto - Planet - .... and then something related to planet.

Thanks for getting in quickly, or I might not have noticed for ages how confusing it was.

planet - cold and dark

Cold & Dark

Solar Eclipse

Solar eclipse

The Moon - that's what blocks out the Sun

The Moon

Orbit - Moon is so awesome, it does circles around our planet

Orbit - gravity

Gravity - force that attributes to orbit occuring

Weightlessness - without gravity, we're just a bunch of floaters

weightlessness

astronauts -- they have fun being weightless (after they get over the initial space sickness!)
