I like Pluto's moon Charon because it looks pretty cool. I also like it because it is part of Pluto, and I think Pluto is pretty cool because it is a puppy. However, Pluto is also my favorite planet. If you don't like Charon too then you hate puppies because the planet that Charon moves around's name is Pluto and Pluto is a puppy.

Astronomy
Black holes are the ends of starsw that are at least ten to fifteen times as massive as the Sun! If a star that is that big goes through a supernova explosion, it is possible that it will leave behind a rather large burned out stellar remains. Without any kind of outside forces to go against the gravitational forces, the remains will collapse on itself. Eventually the star will collapse to zero volume and infinite density. As the density increases, the path of the light rays that come from the star are bent and are wrapped to a point where they cannot be unwrapped. The star is called a Black Hole because no light escapes after the star reaches this infinite density.
Worm holes are supposedly short cuts through space.

Global Warming
Global warming is the increase in the temperature of the earth's surface due to the emission of greenhouse gases from human activity. I do believe in global warming because glaciers are melting, sea levels are rising, cloud forests are drying, and all in all, the temperatures are much higher than they have been in the past. Three pieces of evidence that say global warming is not happening is that Antarctica is getting colder, not warmer, polar bear numbers are increasing, oceans are cooling, and Mars and Pluto are warming too.
Air Masses
The four main types of air masses are cT, mT, cP, and mT. C stands for continental which is dry, T stands for tropical which is warm, M stands for maritime which is wet, and P stands for Polar which is cold. I think the maritime tropical is most likely to bring hurricanes because they are off the coast, and the are warm and wet. The air mass that I think would most likely bring a drought is the continental tropical because it is warm and it is dry. I think that continental polar is most likely to bring lake-effect snowstorms because it is very dry and cold, so it wouldn't melt snow. =D The arctic air mass has pretty much the same characteristics as polar, except it is much colder with lower dew points. Highland occurs in regions with large elevation changes over short distances.
Recycling.
I also agree that recycling is a good thing, and i think we should recycle glass because every tone of glass recycled saves the equivalent of nine gallons of fuel oil needed to make glass from virgin materials. I think it is better to recycle products then to reuse them because recycling could make it into something way more important then whatever creative and odd ideas you can think of to reuse them. People of Fayetteville can recycle by using their blue cans right, by putting items that can be recycled into them. The closes recycling center to my house is 7581 Lowell Harris Road, which is the Cliffdale Site. Nine things that can be made from plastic after being recycled are: bottles, shower stalls, recycling bins, scouring pads, paint brushes, industrial strapping, drainpipes, plastic lumber, flowerpots, and more. Five things metal can be turned into once it has been melted down are: cans, automobile parts, siding, appliances, building materials, and more. Something I can do to promote recycling is actually start to use my recycling bin.

Pluto
I think Pluto is not a planet. It is a dog. =D In all seriousness I think Pluto is not a planet because there was another planet discovered that was much larger than Pluto, and astronomers realize they had to reconsider their definition of a planet. They decided that a planet must fulfill three criteria, which was that a planet must orbit the sun, it must have enough mass to pull itself into spherical shape, and it must have cleared out the other objects in its orbit. So, both Pluto and Xena were named dwarf planets.

Monsoon (by Tokio Hotel)
1. A Monsoon is the seasonal wind shift.
2. Two main causes of a Monsoon is the Bermuda High and the Thermal Low.
3. Monsoons prevent droughts and some people like the rain. =D
4. Monsoons bring floods.
