What are some highlights that you learned from this?

I did well .I learned so much About the planets and I did not
know that there might have been life on Mars. I also learned the
AU= Astronomical unit is the distance from Earth to Sun. Really
liked researching the planets. It is important to know what is out
in the outer space .
