IT’S WORLD ART DAY AND I’VE DECIDED IT’S TIME TO GET CREATIVE! See if you can spot this version of me on ANOTHER PAGE IN THIS WEEK’S ISSUE.

The cosmos or universe is so enormous and stupendous it’s mind-boggling! Here are some facts about space that are … well, cosmic!

Saturn

When the Italian astronomer Galileo saw Saturn through a telescope in the 1600s, he thought he was looking at a planet with handles. Now, we know those ‘handles’ are the rings of Saturn. Saturn isn’t the only planet with rings, but Saturn’s rings are the most beautiful.

Astronomers believe there could be up to 1,000 rings, with gaps in between. The rings orbit Saturn like a million tiny moons. Together, they measure about 400,000 kilometres wide. That’s greater than the distance from the Earth to the Moon! However, the rings are only about 100 metres thick. Scientists think Saturn’s rings are made of chunks of ice or rocks. Some of the icy particles are too tiny to see, while others are the size of a bus!

Ho ho, ha ha, he he! He he, he he! What did the artist draw before he went to bed?

The curtains!

What farm animal is an artist?

Pablo Pig-asso!
