Upon entering the room, the first thing you notice is that instead of planets orbiting the sun around Hazelle's tiny makeshift model, you spy billions of rocks orbiting it in a doughnut shape. They are many sizes and colours.

Hazelle smiles and offers out tea and cookies to all who enter this night.

Lua hurriedly walked into Astronomy class and was in search for a good seat when she spotted professor Hazelle's makeshift model. It was magical yet brilliant, was this really what happens when she looks at the sky everynight?.

Once she was able to get control of her eyes, she shifted it onto professor Hazelle then gave her a smile "Salutations professpr" she said. It was interesting this class, food and drink was served. Nothing you always see at hogwarts. She took two cookies and cup of tea and seated in the first row facing the professor "Doing well i hope" she saod biting into her cookie.

Kat walked into the classroom, ready for another astronomy lesson. "Hello Professor," she said as she passed and pored herself a cup of tea. "Thanks," she added as she took a seat.

Cassandra walked in and saw the spread "Oooo! Cookies!" She took a cookie and some tea. "Thank you Professor Belle!" She walked to her desk and sat down.

Marie walked inside the classroom. She always felt peaceful in the astronomy class she didn't knew why but it was her favorite class. She was happy to see that she wasn't the first student. She pored herself a hot cup of tea & smile at the professor. She then walked directly at the back of the room. She make sure to put our cup on her desk before sit down. She tooked out everything she needed for this lesson & waited for the beginning.

Ruth walked into the classroom "Hello Professor!" she said smiling. She poured herself some tea and took a few cookies. "Thank you" she said and walked to her seat.

Mistress Vondella · 01-19-2007, 05:35 AM

Hazelle nodded at each new arrival and smiled at those who took the goodies she offered.

After waiting several more minutes, she began:

"Now, I'm sure some of you noticed a difference with the solar system here tonight. What's so different about it?"

*Holmesian Feline* · 01-19-2007, 05:39 AM

Raising her hand, Kat said, " The solar system seems to be orbitted by asteroids or other space debris."

Blackwidow · 01-19-2007, 05:40 AM

Lua raised her hands answering "You don't have your planets anymore, you have rocks hovering around in a circle".

"Right! One point." Hazelle said with a wary look. Two hands? Was that the 'cool' thing now?

"Exactly right! 3 points.

"Now, they seem to all be moving together, but when one looks closely, what do you notice about each of them?"

*Holmesian Feline* · 01-19-2007, 05:59 AM

Kat gave the model a more indepth look in hope of picking up what Professor Belle wanted them to. Raising her hand, she answered," They are different colors like they are made up of different materials"

Evy · 01-19-2007, 06:34 AM

Evy raised her hand. "They don't seem to all orbit at the same speed, and I guess their composition can differ too, seing as they are not all the same colour and size."

"Also right, 1 more point.

"Right! 1 point.

"Now, these are called Asteroids. Can someone tell me what else they're called and why?"

Evy · 01-19-2007, 06:44 AM

Evy raised her hand again. "They are also called minor planets, or planetoids, since they are smaller than planets and orbit around the Sun just like them."

AJ sat, nibbling on a cookie and sipping tea, enjoying this lesson. upon hearing the last question a small spark seemed to spark inside her head, and not even knowing if it was anything NEAR being right or not, she raised her hand.

"Can't they sometimes be called meteoroids? Meteoroids are relatively small fragment of debris in the Solar System, that, upon entering the atmosphere of a planet are meteors and creat the glow of shooting stars." she said and thought a bit longer, "but they can also be called minor planets or planetoids, because they drift around the solar system in the orbit of the Sun." she said and sat back, sipping more tea and nibbling more cookie.

Phoebe sat at her desk listening, enjoying the buiscuit and tea the profesor had offered her. Phoebe had noticed the different feature to the class. She thought she might know the answer to the second question so after thinking about it she put her hand up high. When the Proffesor asked her she spoke.

"Is another name for asteroids meteroroids? I guess floating debris is another name but meteroids is there proper name. Meteroroids are rocks or similiar things from other planets and stars. They can sometimes hit earth and destroy things in there path, it depends on how powerful the meteroid is" She said adding to her answer as she went along.

Drusilla Black · 01-19-2007, 01:21 PM

Zaza listens the other students answering while munching her cookie. Their Prefect seemed to be using a word that sounded so difficult it had to be a right answer. But what a nice HoH they had! To serve tea and cookies to students, she thought sipping her tea.

"Not quite," Hazelle corrected, "Meteors, or meteoroids, are space dust fragments, asteroids are huge rocks in space. Asteroids are also called 'minor planets', can someone tell me why?"

*Holmesian Feline* · 01-19-2007, 06:18 PM

Kat thought for a moment, then raised her hand," Is it because they have a gravitational pull like the planets?"

Mistress Vondella · 01-19-2007, 06:51 PM

"No, no gravitational pull. It's because each one has it's own orbit around the sun.

"Now, there's three (3) main types of asteroids, what are they?"

*Holmesian Feline* · 01-19-2007, 06:58 PM

Raising her hand, Kat answered," They are the C-type or carbonaceous, the S-type, or the silicaceous and the M-type or metallic."

"1 point, what are they made of?"

feeheeheeny · 01-19-2007, 07:13 PM

Julia's hand shot into the air. "The C-type is mostly made of hydrogen, helium, and some other hot gases. Hmm... the S-type is made up of metallic nickel-iron, that is also combined with iron and magnesium. The M-type asteroids are only made of nickel-iron."

"Exactly right! 6 points.

"How far does the main asteroid belt stretch from the sun?"
