The asteroid belt
There is not really much to say on this except its a belt of rock between mars and Jupiter, it is home to Ceres, a dwarf planet. The asteroid belt was formed when planets crashed into each other when the solar system was young. Most asteroids that hit planets come from here!
I know it was a short article, but the asteroid belt has nothing much to it.
Bye!

Mars
Getting back on track to the solar system topic, Mars.
Mars is the fourth planet in the solar system, between the asteroid belt and Earth. It is a hub for rovers exploring it's surface, and hopes of finding water on it. Mars has the largest volcano in the solar system, Mount Olympus. Mars has two moons, Phobos and deimos, in which one will fly into deep space and one will crash into mars.
The curiosity rover, a state of the art rover is currently on Mars studying rocks and mountains.
Mars is nicknamed the red planet due to it's red like rocks and dust.
Mars is also thought to have once had water, due to smoothed down stones on its surface.
Well that's it peeps, see you tomorrow!

The Higgs Boson
A bit late, but this discovery is going change astronomy forever. It was discovered in March when the large hadron collider was performing an experiment, in which scientists discovered a bit of matter which matched the properties when it was first thought of. So what is a higgs boson, you ask?
Well, its a type of atom, when it decays, releases around 100,000 normal atoms or matter. An X boson, is antimatter, which releases 99,999 antimatter when decayed, which is why we have a matter universe.
I was really inspired when this discovery came out, and really happy that it has been proved.
Well that's my article today, g'bye peeps :)
