Planet Charting - CLOSED

Monday.

Today, I departed from Earth in my trusty space ship. I am keeping this log as proof to the imbeciles on Earth who still strive to laugh at me. They won’t laugh for long! I decided to start by flying to the furthest planet from the Sun and work my way back. My trusty supercomputer calculated how to get there and we zoomed off at one billion kilometres per minute. After 5 minutes and 45 seconds, we arrived on Pluto and I disembarked to take a look around, making sure I had one heck of a warming charm on me! It was so desolate! Nothing moved, there was no wind, only the feeble crunch of the rocks under my feet. The quietness and the stillness were unnerving me so much that I felt I had to leave. Nothing would ever make me come back here.

I stopped over on Neptune on the way back, but there wasn’t really much to speak of. Just a giant ball of blue gas. And I could land on it because it was gas. It was the same with Uranus. It was quite boring, didn’t really make a difference to me…just made me a bit nostalgic. I used to love blue when I was younger. Now I didn’t have time for those kind of little things…

Tuesday

I had spent the night alone on the ship with Zazu, my computer. We gently floated to Saturn, having all the time we wanted, and parked just above the rings. We couldn’t land on it, obviously, but as I sat on the roof of my space ship, my mouth dropped open. It was beautiful! The warm colours of orange, yellow, gold…they swirled around gently, mesmerising me. It was such a pity I couldn’t land on it. It gave me such a great feeling inside me! You could never get that kind of feeling with anything else.

Wednesday

I moved on, today, to float near the massive gas giant that was Jupiter. It was even better than Saturn! Where Saturn made me feel happy and loved, Jupiter gave me strength. The hugeness of the planet awed me; the turmoil that I could see on the surface; all the gases roiling up powerfully; seeing the Red Spot in person…I would never feel weak again. It was life changing, to see how such small things such as gas particles, could come together to create something so massive and so powerful!

Thursday

Zazu forced me to move on today. I stopped for a bit on one of the asteroids, and then made my way onto Mars. On Earth, they said that there was life on Mars. I looked around as only a human could, but just as on Pluto, there was no sign of life. Nothing, even with a special Point-Me spell, all I found were a few cells that I could identify as dead cells from humans. Of course, humans had never been on any other planet, apart from the Moon, which wasn’t even a planet! So I assumed that it was from one of the probes that humans had obviously touched and it had left there. Mars was nothing like Pluto though. It was warmer, happier, with more of a welcoming feel to it. I left soon after and landed on the moon. It was just as it had been left. So I added an Indian flag onto the moon as well. Now, the Moon was equal. A flag from the West, and a flag from the East.
Friday

I didn’t really want to stop anywhere else. I just wanted to go back home…I was lonely! But I ploughed on and spent some time on Venus. I felt a chill go down my spine as the wind nearly rolled over my ship, coming close to destroying it. At once, I left. Venus had an evil characteristic to it and like on Pluto, I wouldn’t be coming back. I would try my best to forget the terror I had when my ticket back home was nearly shredded to bits.

Saturday

I had spent the night again on the Moon because I wanted to stay quite far away from Venus. I ventured onto Mercury and found that it was much nicer than Venus. It didn’t make the same good impressions as Saturn or Jupiter or Mars, but it did make me feel as though nothing could go wrong. It was, of course, extremely hot, but that didn’t faze me. If Mercury could make me feel so lucky, then I would definitely come back! It was even better then the lucky feeling after having drunk the Felix potion!

Sunday

Aptly named! Today, I visited the Sun! It was boiling! Even in my heat resistant suit, I was sweating like a pig! Finally, after being scorched when I fell and my back came too close to the surface (boots are more heat proof than the rest of the suit) I went back and looked at the sun from slightly further away. I was beautiful; I can grant that, it emitted a life giving force, an energizing force, somewhat. Obviously, it does sustain life on Earth but I still thought it would be more monotonous, without any feeling. I would not go back onto the Sun, it was too painfully hot, but I would definitely come back to Sun-gaze! I retreated back and within minutes, I was back in my home, having a lovely cold shower. It was necessary after all that heat I had endured!

Sunday- Captain Jesse's log Stardate 4021364. I got up and departed for my space journey at approximately 5:25am cst on this lovely Sunday. I was excited to get started so here I am. I'm traveling in my state of the art Resident Jesse-nom 456 modle putrid squander serpent spaceship. It get 450 million miles to the gallon so need to fret I have adequate fuel supply. And for good reason too. I have just now arrived at a rather Tiny planet.This icy cold planet is known as pluto. I think we can get just a little closer.Brrrr it is cold here but see I am planning on visiting it largest moon.Charon. Here we are moving closer to it and as you see the moon of this planet is made of silicon. Ohhh what the world is coming to these days. Well I shall bed down for the night. We're 345,000.000 miles away from the other planets so I shall wait here and sleep till morning.

Monday-Captain Jesse's log: Stardate 4021365- I've just found a nice device that would help with my excessive soda intake. Okay guys, here we are moving North and about to come upon Neptune, we have to visit uranus too so we are making a quick stop here are the Nep-Wep convenience store. I am parking my space shuttle in the valet parking area. This is one of the safest convenient stores in the Galaxy. Okay, Moshposh here who is a 4 year veteran clerk will be watching my ship as I stop in for a few refreshments. Okay, I am back now and it looks as though Neptune is throwing a welcome party for me. So being the well mannered wizard I am, I shall grace them with my presence and hand out these ~holds up copies of his autobiography called "Death Eater Me" ~ And well I will stop off and sign a few autographs. (4 hours later) With a quick wave I am off to Uranus. Ahhh there it is, you see the rings that are verticle? Well that is a nifty little planet. Now, let's land here. Ah ok we have landed and there looks to be no sign of intelligent life here except for these odd little gold balls that have legs and are now sporting a rather nasty large row of large teeth below there own chrome colored noses. Yes well these don't look like friendly folk. Alright now, off we go. I think I will set a course for the betrich path and get a little nap in.

Tuesday~Captain Jesse's log: Stardate 4021366- Okay guys we slept through the night and look out this window what did I tell you? Here are the rings of saturn. This planet is extrordinaryly interesting. The rings are composed of astroids and metals that have been lost here in space. I am certain that we will find life on this planet. Ohhhh there it is. two headed catapillars and one has a pretty pink hat. I bet he got it on E-bay. They have 4 fingers on each of their four hands. See and they look like feather weights to pick up. oh but don't dismiss them yet. Aliens have sneaky methods.There is one of the few loose astroids. Let's all get a pic of that we will love sharing these awesome scenes with our friends.

Wednesday~Captain Jesse's log: Stardate 4021367- Okay, today it appears we are experiencing technical difficulties with our tiny tibble satillite so we will have to actually get out and walk onto the planet of Jupiter today.Now rumor has it that there are no solid surfaces here but I say codswallop! Now we're nearing the planet's atmosphere. See that...Whoa whoa...did you feel that? I think our ship just had a bit of a hiccup though I am steering her nice and easy. Now as we are getting closer to this massive planet~coughs~ You can see that dot right there. That is a toxic gas storm and ~coughs~ could be hazardous if we fly to that part of Jupiter. So we're going to manuver around here to the right. Easy does it and okay guys we are slowly entering the planet now. This is a jumbo planet. The biggest one in earth's solar system. Alright so easy does it, a little steering to the ~coughs more~ r-right. Okay we're inside the planet. There are plumes of smoke everywhere. Looking down from here, through the view mask, I am not seeing any sign of life here and I am a little concerned because we are slowly dropping down about 18,000 feet inside this massive planet and it appears to have no solid grounding. Now, my eyes may be decieving me but there is no visable place for us to land our ship. ~coughs coughs violently.~~(still coughing remember Jupiters atmoshpere has lots of gas and normal people would die but thankfully I am a wizard) ~coughs more~ Okay..I..I believe that I can talk now. Now I think we'd better get off this planet. All that's here is gas,gas, and poor gas..Oh pardon me..seems I am adding to the gases(I know ten burritoes was a bad idea to eat yesterday) Well okay so I am really sweating and now we are slowly exiting the planet Jupiter. Okay we're AGH!!!!!!!! We nearly got hit by that toxic storm that is the red dot on this planet. Okay, we're easing the ship up up up and We're safely out of jupiter.!!!
Whew I need to take a long bathroom break so have a few chocolate frogs this may be a while.~~~~~

Thursday~Captain Jesse's log: Stardate 4021368- Well yesterday was a rough bout for us guys. Jupiter certainly showed its mass and it is not a planet to be tampered with. If it had life I'd be afraid. Now we're drifting about 34,000 miles away from Mars. Yup that red planet just ahead. And accodring to my trusty Encyclopedia britannica here, Mars' surface IS indeed solid and we will be actually setting foot onto the red planet. Here we go now stay close.Okay we can breath a bit better here and Well look at that!! Little green martian men!! I think we should try to communicate with one of them. Oh it's speaking to me "Do you have an illudian pu 36 explosive space modulator?" it just asked me that so naturally I have given him one as a kind gesture to show us eartling wizards are kind and gentle. So moving right a long I will be mingling with these fine friendly creatures. It seems they have built a temple of what appears to be a pile of colorful cheese!! Fantastic! I bet it taste good but remember, as scientists we do not upset the delicate culture. So as temped as I am to take a little nibble, I will have to restrain myself.
I think we will call it a day for this planet, perhaps we should turn in early. Only Friday and Saturday to go. Saturday after noon we should be arriving back on earth. Tomorrow we shall venture to the moon, sun, and venus.

Friday-Captain Jesse's log: Stardate 4021369-Well it's a beautiful morning and we are just now closing in on venus. Here's our first stop. We see it looks rather pleasant and pretty. Did you guys know that this planet was named after the goddess Venus or as we all know her Aphrodite? Well many people believe that this is the planet of love. It is rather pleasant and it has little hearts made out of gasses. It also is a nice smooth color and though it isn't inhabited, we believe it will someday. I certainly hope so cuz it would be a great place to study. You know as a wizarding scientist, I am fascinated by this solar system. It helps me guide my way through the life I was chosen to lead. Well here we go. We are now veering off and heading straight to Mercury. Oh I really don't like this planet becuz if you look at how close it is to the sun you will see just how scary it would be to live here. We can't get too close cuz I don't want that hot sun to accidentally catch my ship on fire. Anyway ok that little planet is mercury. Now this next trip will be a quick one. And I highly suggest we doin't get to close. But this large ball of flaming gas is The Sun. I am not too fond of things that have more power and intensity than me heh. Now believe it or not the Sun is NOT a planet. Nope, it is a star filled with zillions upon zillions of gas, and intense heat. No one should ever get as close as WHOA watch it!! You almost singed my left wing there pilot. I'd hate to Crucio you way up here but I will do it if you don't stay on course. Alright now, getting back to the sun...erm...Well we have seen enough of it. Now let us go to the Moon, a calmer and cooooooler place. Here we go right on around and away we go! ~sighs in relief~ Ahhhhh here we are now we're coming around it at an odd angle so what you are seeing right here is "The Dark Side of The Moon" hehehe a little Pink Floyd in my brain today. So, here we are. Let's all get out, watch your step pelase AGH! Do not tear my leather seats!! Hem hem ok now here we are walking right around on the Moon. Lovely view huh? Neil Armstrong walked on here many many years ago. He was a muggle and he said 'One small step for man, one giant leap for mankind' and I being a wizard who is also a man, respect important muggles like this. Those who risked a lot for all of us to be able to explore the skies, space, and beyond. Well I say we best be getting back now. Tomorrow will conclude my journey. For now, I must sleep...

Saturday-Captain Jesse's log: Stardate 4021370-Ahhhh a bunny bygone day to you all. We're now going back to my home planet. The planet with the largest population of inhabited beings. Earth. Ahhhh from here the view is magnificient. See the blue? All of that is ocean, water if you will. The land masses are mountains, and vegetation far beyong your dreams.And here we go, it's going to heat up a wee bit as we enter earth's atmosphere. There we go, and were about to land. Aha! Finally safe on solid ground. Now we are in the muggle part of earth. Someplace called Nasa. Well As you see our journey has come to an end. I do hope to see you all again very soon for another of Jesse's exciteing travels. And remember that Earth is not the final fronteer. Space, and Beyond is our next adventure. Until then. This concludes our 'Journey with Jesse' adventure. Be sure to check out Jesse's other awesome adventures.

~I didn't use sources persay but i rememberd what we learned in science class and it has stuck with me since then.

I rock back and forth on my heels and wait for the potion to settle. After spending 4 months, 2 weeks, 5 days, and 7 hours in my basement, I have finally accomplished it! The potion I have created should enable me to transfer to any location of my choice. When I find the right area, I shall open up a Hogwarts school on my own and I shall rule all! I picked up my Harry Potter book. Soon my dream will come true. It doesn’t matter if my sisters call me crazy, after I open up my school crazy will be a good thing! I examine my potion closely. If I calculated correctly, I have enough for 7 servings. This means I can go to a different location each day for a week. Excitedly, I pour the first spoonful into a cup and drank it. The room started spinning as I dropped the cup on the ground and collapsed.

Day 1- Monday (Pluto)
I arrive at a small planet with a brownish yellow surface. Right away my teeth start chattering. ‘What is wrong with this place?’ I wondered to myself. ‘Where’s the sun?’ I squint off to the distance and see a tiny golden blur. ‘Oh, there it is.’ I decided to explore and examine my surroundings. Yellow dust flies around my face with every step I take. Just looking around this area, I start to feel depressed from the cold and lack of color. I pull my jacket closer together and keep going. Slowly, mountains with glittering icecaps came to view. They glittered ominously at me as though giving off a warning. ‘This planet is just not right for my school.’ I thought as I shook my head sadly. ‘I want my school to be filled with laughter and joy. This place makes me feel as though a dementor is breathing down my neck. Besides my students might freeze to death and their families will sue me. I don’t want that to happen. Too much paperwork.’

Day 2 – Tuesday (Mercury)
As I walk along the grounds of the next planet, I waddle a bit as I walk. This time I am prepared. I brought along my heaviest jacket to withstand the cold. Yet I realize that my jacket started to get heavier and heavier. My sweat was absorbing into the jacket and weighting me down. As I mopped my brow I took a look around to observe my surroundings. This planet seems to be heavily scarred by craters. My eyes widen as a huge flow of lava started streaming after me. I lifted up my skirts and started running. This place reminded me of being in hell! And even if I was meant to end up there, I wasn’t planning on going that soon!

Day3 – Wednesday (Neptune)
Just as I arrived on Neptune, I was blown away! Literally! A ferocious hurricane picked me up off of my feel and flew me around in circles. I scraped my arm on a ledge of rock and hung on for dear life. As I felt myself slipping I wondered what I ever did in life to get myself into this mess. My life started to flash before my eyes. All the people I missed, places I loved. And not only that but all the other place and people that I haven’t gotten around to meeting. With a new burst of determination, I held on tightly as I waited for the hurricane to pass. When I finally felt myself fall back on the ground, I jumped up and hurried away. There was no way I would stay on this planet!

Day 4 – Thursday (Mars)
The first thing I saw when I arrived on this planet was, well nothing. Dust flew around making my eyes sting and my mouth dry. With my arms outstretched, I tried to walked and explore my surrounding. Yet after I slammed into the third rock boulder because I couldn’t see it, I decided perhaps this planet wasn’t right for me either. The dusty clouds made me feel as though I was in a dreamland. Although it sounded fine, it really wasn’t. I couldn’t see the beautiful things in life or the dangers. And living in the dark is worst then not living at all because you have to be cautious of your every move and step you make.

Day 5 – Friday (Saturn)
The first thing I thought as I spotted this planet for the first time was confusion. I could see that there are some areas with ice yet other areas still ran hot lava. As I carefully wandered around the planet I thought to myself. Now if there was ever a planet that resembled people it would be this one. People run hot and cold all the time. As quickly as the moods changed, so did the weather on this planet. Especially for me, there are days when I’d feel great and next minute I would feel bad. I decided I didn’t want to stay on such a confusing and unpredictable planet any longer.

Day 6 – Saturday (Uranus)
When I arrived on this planet, I once again thought I was in hell. Although this planet was not as hot as the one earlier, it was completely red. And the air felt strangely heavy. As I continued walking, the bright red color started to hurt my eyes. Red stood for many things in my life. It stood for love, yet also hell and pain. Although as I thought about it, love is could also be hell and painful. As I gazed around at all the redness around me, I was plagued by the memories of home, good and bad ones. With my head held high, I decided there was no better place then home.

Day 7 – Sunday (Earth)
As I finally arrived back to my home planet, I dropped down to the ground and just laid on the grass. I drank in all the colors and smells around me. Who wouldn’t want to live in such a wonderful planet. With all these different colors and people. People was what I missed most during my trip. The other planets seemed so lonely and empty. Here it is always so full of life and people! There are moments that Earth can seem bad, but now I know nothing will ever beat home.

Monday:

After blasting off from earth more than twenty years ago, i found myself in
distant galaxies, now, back in my own soloar system, i smile as i see
the small planet that is Pluto. Gently landing on my little space carft down
onto it's surface, i pulled out my wand, tapped my head and began to warm to up nicely
as i walked slowly across the planet. It was a deserted little place, nothing much
was happening, no other life forms were there, only rocks. This place was not a place
where i could hold a small dinner party, so turning i stumbled over rocks and made my way
back to my ship and blasted off. I could not help but think if Pluto was indeed a planet or
just a comet which had gotten stuck in one spot.



Tuesday:

Today i flew past the planet Neptune not wanting to stop and explore, i was
desperate to continue on my journey home. I was not paying particular attention to the
next planet until i remembered exactly which one it was, Uranus,
it made me laugh as i remembered my little brother once calling it
'urine us' and of course the very popular name of "Your anus."
The planet appears to be covered in mainly rock and ice and i can
not help but think what it would be like to go rock climbing or
ice skating on the planet. I almot flew my little craft down to
the surface but my trusty compainon Dipstick the robotic cat
reminded me that i would proberly freeze my knuga knunga's off.
Such a wise animal, so very different from the real Dipstick
who was nothing but a lazy old cat who did nothing but sleep and
lick all day. Oh home where art thou now?


Wedensday:

Today as i trundled along the galaxy,
i found my ship hurtling past the beauty that was Saturn.
Slowing down my speed, i stared out of the window and thought
of home and all that i had left behind. The beautiful pastal colours
of the planet danced in front of my eyes and i smiled softly as
they reminded me of a Gobstopper which i still had from over 12 years
ago. The only thing that truly hit me, was the clouds of fog that
covered most of the planet. Oh what i give to walking along the sea
front on a foggy midweek morning with my trusty boxer dog brother
Rufus, such days have long since vanished, because i am here now and
Rusgus, the poor dear is far too fat to get out of his comfy bed with
Sunshine my once cherished teddy bear.

Thursday:

Along day was drawing to a close as i spoted a planet with 39 moons.
I laughed because immediatley i knew i had come across Jupitar. Not wishing to
land and explore, i stopped my ship and watched one of the many spectacular
storms of Jupitar. I finally understood how Jupitar had many different beautiful
colours, it was due to the mass gases of the planet and numerous storms.
Jupitar reminded me, very oddly of a pretty marble which i had once got
stuck up Professor Snapes nose during a terribly dull Potions lesson, Ah
what i would give to be in detention right now.


Friday:

I am so very close to home, i only know this because i can see Mars blow my ship.
I was gently navigating my ship when Dipstick the robotic cat stopped me by peeing on my control panel. I had to fix the small technical problem which he had caused before i set about landing my ship. On the surface, i began to sweat and so i stripped off my clothing and walked around in only my bathing suit. Pulling out my small hand held computer i checked out the temperature of the planet and jumped for joy when it read that the planet was 25c. Waving my wand i summoned a towle form my ship and layed it down upon the surface and began to sunbath happily. I was almost asleep when Dipstick began to pull me back towards the ship. I opened my eyes and gasped. The temperature had dropped rapidly and a storm was fast approaching. Diving at my control panel i lifted
the ship off the planet and trundled back along the galaxy.

Saturday:

Today i took a wrong turn at Earths Moon. Instead of landing back down on Earth
i was propelled past it. I finally managed to slow my ship down as we orbited the sun.
It was hot. I spent two minutes sitting on the top of my ship, and i am burned to a crisp.
I wish i had have packed SunTan Lotion because i am all sore from that giant fireball.
At least Dipstick is here to navigate the ship back to Earth while i have a soft snooze. Such a lovely place to come if you want a sun tan although i would advise everyon to use 10000 Factor Sun tan lotion when visiting the place.


Sunday:

I woke to find my ship not moving and Dipstick looking rather pleased with himself. Flinging on some clothes i dived out my small room, pointing my wand at my face i made myself beautiful with perfect hair and throw open the hatch of the ship ready for a whirl of photographers and flashing bulbs. Not once was i prepared for the stillness and silence. I opened my eyes slowly and gapsed. Dipstick ahd landed us on the moon. walking slowly i spotted the american flag. I was not happy. We are one world of many different countries. So with a wave of my wand, every single flag from every sing country appeared on the surface of the moon, and i had the joy and pleasure of placing the Union Jack down upon the moon as i gazed longingly at beautiful planet Earth.
I was going home today whether it killed me or not.



I didnt use any sources, just 8 year old homework, haha which i found in a big box, so i guess if you need a source, then his name is Mr Butler, head of Science and development.
