maybe you wanted to write 10th planet, not 11th planet.\n\nmaybe there was such a thing but i don't see any records of it on nasa-s site.\n\nWhat i do see is the report of the 10-th planet being discovered, maybe that's what u  were reffering to.\n\nhere's the link\n\nhttp://science.nasa.gov/headlines/y2005/29jul_planetx.htm

Here are a couple of sites u can get photos of planets. Hope it helps.\n\nhttp://www.photovault.com/search.asp?srchwd=pictures+of+planets\n\nhttp://photojournal.jpl.nasa.gov/index.html\n\nThere are plenty more site if u type it in a search engine.

Check:\nhttp://www.planet-source-code.com\nMSAccess gives a plenty of examples too.

Imagine how hard it is to try to teach High Schoolers anything about the planets when one of them has a name like this! But anyway, go to NASA's website. There is a place there where you can find anything worth seeing at any location. It will even tell you when stuff like the Space Station will fly overhead. And most telescopes come with locating software if you ever get that involved. I hope you will. It seems like we never learn much about space, but it has taken a long time to get as far as we are now.

i don't know anything about this book or author.  it is bogus so forget it.\n\nthere is one star (sun), eight planets (mercury, venus, earth, mars, jupiter, uranus, and neptune), hundreds of dwarf, ball-shaped bodies ("1 ceres", "134340 pluto", and "136199 eris" for example), and tens of thousands small irregularly-shaped bodies in the solar system, and there is no hint of another star or any more planets.\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extrasolar_planet\nhttp://exoplanet.eu/catalog.php\n\nin 2006,  astronomers found evidence for a planet orbiting a star 21,500 ± 3,300 away.  the star is cataloged as OGLE-2005-BGL-390L.  the planet, OGLE-2005-BGL-390Lb, is 5.5 earth masses, but astronomers have also found more than 200 others.

I did a google search for this and came up with this site.\n\nNine Planets: http://www.nineplanets.org/intro.html\n\nIf you scroll down the home page on this site, you will find a list of FAQ's with links to other pages. If you continue on you will see a list of links to other astronomy sites. I checked out the Nine Planets for kids link and it looks like what you're after. It is kid friendly and offers several free printouts for teachers. Check it out!\n\nhttp://www.nineplanets.org/index.html\n\nGood luck and happy star watching!

You can buy kits at places like Hobby Lobby, but you can do way better on your own. I used the information in the links below to make a scale model where I used a basket ball for the Sun and various pin heads and acorns for the planets. The first link below is an on line calculator that will tell you how big to make the planets and how far apart to place them if you just enter the size you want to make the Sun. I bet you are surprised at how small and far apart the planets really are!

HOW MANY ARE KNOWN AT THE MOMENT?:\n\n8 in our solar system + 3 dwarf planets\n\n(Planets: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus & Neptune) (Dwarf Planets: 1 Ceres, 134340 Pluto, 136199 Eris)\n\nAND IN THE MILKY WAY GALAXY?\n\nSince pulsar planets were discovered in 1992 and 51 Pegasi b was discovered in 1995 we now know a total of 209 orbiting other stars:\n\nDetected by radial velocity method: 169 planetary systems, 197 planets, 20 multiple planet systems. \n\nDetected by microlensing: 4 planets. \n\nDetected by direct imaging: 4 planets. \n\nPulsar planets: 2 planetary systems, 4 planets, 1 multiple planet system. \n\nSee the full list in the Encyclopaedia of Exoplanets (third link) published and maintained by the Paris Observatory. Appropriately as it was the work of Urbain LeVerrier at that observatory that led to the discovery of Neptune in 1846.\n\nWHAT OF THE FUTURE?\n\nImproved detection rates can be expected in the coming years. Principally from CoRoT and the Kepler Mission: which being space-based will avoid the problems the earth's atmosphere creates for ground-based telescopes,\n\nCOROT:\n\nOn 15th November 2006 the CoRoT spacecraft arrived at the Baikonour launch base,\n\nCOROT (COnvection ROtation and planetary Transits) is a space mission approved and led by the French Space Agency (CNES) in conjunction with the European Space Agency and other international partners. The primary objective of COROT will be to search for extrasolar planets, particularly those of large terrestrial size. It is scheduled for launch on December 22, 2006, and will be the first mission of its kind.\n\nCOROT consists of a 27 cm in diameter afocal telescope with an array of spectroscopic detectors. The satellite has a launch mass of 630 kg, is 4.10 metres long, 1.984 metres in diameter and powered by two solar panels. \n\nA Russian rocket will lift the satellite into a circular polar orbit with an altitude of 827 km. Over its planned 2½ years mission it will observe perpendicular to its orbital plane meaning there will be no Earth occultations, allowing 150 days of continuous observing. During the northern Summer it will observe in an area around Serpens Cauda and during the Winter it will observe in Monoceros. Between this observing periods for 30 days, COROT will observe 5 other patches of the sky.\n\nThe probe will monitor the brightness of stars, watching for the slight dimming that happens in regular intervals when planets transit their primary. COROT will be sensitive enough to detect rocky planets, though only those several times larger than Earth; it is also expected to discover new gas giants, which comprise almost all of the known extrasolar planets.\n\nCOROT will also undertake asteroseismology. It can detect luminosity variations associated with acoustic pulsations of stars. This phenomenon allows calculation of a star's precise mass, age and chemical composition and will aid in comparisons between the sun and other stars.\n\nIn each field of view there will be one main target star for the asteroseismology as well as up to nine other targets. Simultaneously, it will be recording the brightness of 12,000 stars brighter than apparent magnitude 15.5 for the extrasolar planet study. It is expected that a few dozen planets will be found.\n\nTHE KEPLER MISSION\n\nThe scientific objective of the Kepler Mission, due for launch in 2008, is to explore the structure and diversity of planetary systems. This is achieved by surveying a large sample of stars to achieve several goals:\n\nDetermine how many terrestrial and larger planets there are in or near the habitable zone of a wide variety of spectral types of stars \n\nDetermine the range of sizes and shapes of the orbits of these planets \n\nEstimate how many planets there are in multiple-star systems \n\nDetermine the range of orbit size, brightness, size, mass and density of short-period giant planets \n\nIdentify additional members of each discovered planetar

My dad helped me do the solar system in a big cardboard box, with fishing line, styrofoam balls, paint and construction paper. Inexpensive and I got an A+++++!!! We hung the styrofoam planets from the top of the inside of the box after we painted them and decorated the inside of the box with a black background and it was cool! bradnmich@bellsouth.net
