This week we went to the 'Imiloa Planetarium!
We saw a really interesting show called, "Back To The Moon For Good."
A Planetarium is were you sit in a dark area, if you look up there is a big screen that covers the whole ceiling. The room goes dark and the only light is the big green screen on the roof. Then the stars come out, just like the night sky. For this show it read, "BACK TO THE MOON FOR GOOD."
What really stuck out to me in the whole show (which was 45 minutes) was there is a world wide contest to go back to the moon.
Groups of people from around the world have the task to construct an aircraft (rocket) that can land on the moon safely, then travel fifty meters away from it's landing spot.
If you make it, you win millions of dollars. No one's been successful yet. Maybe you could win?
If you what to find out more go to this website.

When the show ended, we walked out to a warm day of 26 degrees and light rain, but at least there was no snow.
We got in the car and....
Our car wouldn't start!!
My dad had run out gas and it was raining. It was about a twenty minute walk to town.
(and yes I'm writing this blog post on the street in rain because we couldn't get home lol)
Dad called the tow truck and they said they would get there at five o'clock, in an hour.
After about 15 minutes we (Mum, Jera and me) decided to walk.
We started up the road covered in black plastic bags to protect us from the rain.
After we trampled and pushed our way though a bushy green forest, we discovered an old lava site!
Hardened black lava covered the area. We left the lava site strolled down a small tract leading to town, where cars whooshed past us.
After a while we heard BEEP BEEP!
It was my DAD!
He got gas from the tow truck guys!
After that long day we drove home
That was my Sunday!
Now I'm safely home writing my blog for you now.
Thanks for reading this
