Task
You and your partner have been hired by the Intergalactic Travel Agency (ITA) to promote space vacations and tours. You will choose a planet or the sun. You'll need to collect information in the categories listed below in order to help the ITA attract humans into space. Your task is to learn as much as you can about your planet or star and create a travel brochure to convince people to come visit there.

What planets are next to your planet or star?
Are there any moons, planets or satellites that orbit your planet or star? What are the names of the moons, planets or satellites?
Planet or Star Surface
Is your planet or star solid or made of gases?
Does your planet or star have water on it? Is there oxygen?
What color is your planet or star?
Is there more or less gravity on your planet or star than on Earth?
Planet or Star Size
What size is your planet or star?

Brochure Description
Once you have collected all of the planet or star information you'll create an advertisement in the form of a brochure to teach the class about your planet or star and to convince humans to take a vacation there. Your brochure should include pictures and descriptions all of the information you collected from the questions above. You can show all nine planets and the sun, but your planet should be the focus or main point of your brochure. Make sure everyone in your group can talk about the pictures and words on your brochure during the presentation.
