Facts aout the space duck

 WALT: reorganise

Journal Story:	Scaffolding Text (Planet):
For more than ten years, scientists have followed a giant space duck. It isn't really a space duck, it's shaped like a rubber ducky.  A small probe called Philae had a job to get on the space duck, and gather information about it, including its shape and its temperature. Philae is solar powered which means it needs light from the sun to charge its batteries. Philae is only the size of a washing machine, but it carries ten scientific instruments.	Comets are lumps of cosmic ice and rock. In a few months Philae will be the first probe that has landed on a comet's surface. The mission is named after the Rosetta Stone (it is an ancient stone.) The space duck or the 67P can be named Churyumov–Gerasimenko
Complementary Text:	Challenge Text:
Rosetta traveled ten years to get on the 67P. Rosetta traveled 5 times around the sun before it reached its destination. Rosetta is 100km above the comet’s surface Unfortunately, Comet 67P won’t be visible in our night sky without powerful telescopes. Comets are lumps of cosmic ice and rock, which means that Comet 67P travels closer to the Sun and it will begin to melt.	The rubber ducky comet’s real name is 67P. When the Rosetta probe was near comet 67P it discovered a major challenge to landing on the comet's surface. In the year and change since the European Space Agency’s Rosetta mission became the first spacecraft to orbit a comet.  The 67P has two bulbous lobes. The space duck is the offspring of two colliding objects.
