I have a question about time and space it’s self why does earth’s time go by so fast but in space it goes by slower. I think this part was neat because Dr. Billing’s told the story really well with the sheep herder story that is all I have for today.
I found it interesting that the material that we replaced led in pencils with that is graphite can be heated up and put under pressure to make diamonds. I also enjoyed learning about how the European and French made the train tunnels. I also enjoyed listening to Dr. Billings scout days it’s funny and interesting. I also found it cool that you can use the stars to navigate. And how they have their own names and stuff.
Stars are so beautiful

Great job with the video. I love how you did it.
hello everyone, it is so cool just sitting on my porch and staring at the sky just imagining what kind of shapes or any object the stars make.❤️
I like to go outside and look through a telescope at sky
The stars are so beautiful to look at, and they’re interesting to learn about. One day I hope to invest in a telescope so I can gaze at them better!
What exactly is graphite?
I will look for the northern star.
I think it’s really cool how the stars line up in the sky.
Man, the stars are so interesting! Maybe someday we’ll be advanced enough to see them all.
People of the past and present still use the stars as a map
Do you know that stars are some times by the moon.
