Why does the sky go dark at night? You are all probably thinking that this is a question even a kindergartner can answer - The simple answer and the one that is pretty obvious is that as the Earth rotate on its axis it moves away from the sun and therefore, causes the skies to go dark. Sounds logical to us but what about the zillions of sparkly stars? Why don't they pitch in and make the sky all shiny?

    I found it interesting that even though stars are in the sky, they are simply too far away for them to shed much light that effects us here on earth. I think this article shows how being an inquirer and wanting to explore can lead to new learning.

    I learned that the universe is 13.7 billion years old. I think it would be cool to mot see any stars at night.

    I learned that the Earth is estimated to be 13.7 billion years old. And we cannot see the light given off by stars , especially with our naked eye. The first person to ponder this question was a German astronomer named Heinrich Olbers. This article was pretty interesting actually, I didn't know the reason why the other stars didn't light up our world like the sun.

        i learned that people are just now trying to figure out why the sky gets dark ( but truly nobody will ever know why) and that the hubble telescope can't see EVERYTHING. i think people need to try harder to try to make science sound some bit true.

        i found out that the universe is growing and that in a billion years people might not be able to see stars with there own eyes. It is believed that maybe dust is blocking the stars durringt he day time. our Universe is still expanding to greater distances.

          I did not know there was so many possibility that the skies go dark. I just thought it was cause we turn away from the sun for a few hours. That it wasn't just the Earth orbiting in circles. It could have been the dust blocking the stars but they areright cause if the stars were being blocked then the sun would be blocked as well.

                I learned that NASA's Hubble telescope discovered that our universe was still expanding ! Scientist now discovered that it could be a reason for our dark skies. I find this to be really interesting and its really cool to hear that scientist are discovering new things everyday. To us it may seen like nothing, but it may not be that easy.
