1. Astronomers don't know whether life exists on other planets. But if it does, it's most likely to be found on a planet that has liquid water. Water, after all, is essential to life on Earth.

   Now, astronomers have discovered a distant planet that could have water. That, in turn, raises the possibility of extraterrestrial life. It would take you about 30 years to get to the sun or moon.

    

    

   This drawing shows the newfound planet, which orbits the red dwarf star Gliese 581. On the planet's surface, water would probably be liquid.

   The planet isn't in our solar system, so it's called an extrasolar planet. It orbits a star called Gliese 581, which is about 116 trillion miles from Earth.

   How to make crystals:

   1. pick a  material: sugar, alum, or salt.

   2. get hot water and put it in a plastic cup with a lid.

   3. add to the water 1 tablespoon(T.B) of the material.

   4. mix well and if water doesn't have the material in it coninue stiring and adding T.Bs.

   5. when the mixure DOES have the material on the bottem of the cup, put a sample in the lid.

   6. put the lid and cup on a windowsil and wait.

   7. give the crystals about a week to grow and they ARE edible.-Nicolas
