Halley's Comet is the most well-known comet on the Solar System. I have never seen one but in my GLPS camp, it is the topic of my presentation. It is very shiny with many different exotic colors. Its speed looks very fast. The stars behind the comet are like the decoration. Its tail is fading. The space is dark but the comet is sparkling beautifully. The colors are collaborating each other to make a fine picture.

The Orion in the Winter Night Sky

On clear winter nights, I often look up in the night sky and spot one of the most beloved and recognizable constellations, Orion. It was always one of my favorites as a child, and easily one of the most interesting. The stars in the space is making a painting by connecting themselves. It was cold in winter and the trees made me, who was young and short that time not easy to see the constellation. It was beautiful but it was hard to understand that it indicated Orion.

The Pisces is my horoscope according to astrology.
The Pisces, is showing some fish caught in a net.
The stars are sparkling in the space.

The Sun

The Sun is the only star in our Solar System. It is blazing, furious,  mighty and gigantic,  full of pride  looking over us.  It is shining brightly and we cannot look at the sun very well. The  strong flares of the sun is making the sun to look like  a glowing medallion in the sky.

Our Earth

Earth is where we are living in.
It is green and blue glowing beautiful, it is peaceful but a mysterious plant which is home for many organisms. It is life giving rich beautiful planet. Its cloud, earth, sky and ocean makes a fine painting.


#6

Comet Holmes

The first comet that I have ever seen. Comet Holmes was not a bright comet but it suddenly brightened and was shown to many people on Earth, including me. It was moving in the night sky and I could see it for days. It was exciting and it was refreshing. I observed this comet with my family and it was glowing beautifully.


#7
Shooting Star/Meteor

Shooting Star is also called meteor. But the shooting star we see are small meteoroid that disappears in the atmosphere. I went to see falling of number of shooting stars one day, also I saw a shooting star in the GLPS camp, too. The appearance and the disappearance of these shooting star is really breathtaking experience. With beautiful glowing falling stars appearing and disappearing.

Movie Review: Princess Bride(1987)

I saw a movie in my GLPS camp, which is "The Princess Bride" of 1987, and the director is Rob Reiner. The genre of this movie is Fantasy, Adventure and Comedy. The characters of the movie are Princess Buttercup, prince Humperdinck, Westley, Inigo Montaya, Fezzik, Vizzini, Count Rugen and Miracle Max. Princess Buttercup is a common citizen that falls in love with Westley, a farm boy. But Westley is once regarded to be dead and Buttercup engages Prince Humperdinck. Inigo Montaya is a Spanish Swordsman and is going to revenge Count Rugen, a man with six fingers that killed his father. Fezzik is a giant man with unbelievable strength. Vizzini is a smart man who is the leader of the kidnappers that kidnapped Princess Buttercup. Miracle Max is an old man that is known to have miracle powers.

The kidnappers one day kidnapps Princess Buttercup and Westley, who was thought to be dead, comes to save her. Then, the two lovers fight against a cowardly Prince and Count Rugen.
Yes, this movie is a fairy tale with Castles, forests of monsters, secret passageways, true love and sword fights.
The movie is too old-fashioned. It is not an animation, but I think an animation would be better than this. The comedy part is too short and not attractive, making it much more boring. The story is just like a common old fairy tale. My favorite character, I think is Inigo Montaya who says "My name is Inigo Montaya, You killed my father, prepare to die." The worst character is Princess Buttercup who is so useless and just kept on waiting for her true love.
I think I learned some lessons from the movie. The prince is a coward and I think that is why he didn't qualify as a leader. Because the Prince is a coward and he cannot even fight with a man that cannot even move! I think I also learned that there is vacancy after a revenge by the case of Inigo Montaya. He revenged his enemy, Count Rugen, but after killing him, he had nothing to do.
