HAPPY ST. PATRICK'S DAY! (2017)

I wish everyone a Happy Saint Patty's Day! Even if you're not Irish (like me). Today is an excuse to wear a lot of green! Speaking of green, I changed my blog background to be more green! It also has some clovers.  Google has also made a new animated logo for the occasion! You can see it above.

DIY Gravity Falls 3D Pyramid Bill Cipher Made Out of Pencils! How-To Tutorial

Hi guys! This is Arca. More than a year has passed since the show Gravity Falls ended. It was an amazing show that had a mystery element to it. The main bad-guy was an Illuminati-shaped demon by the name of Bill Cipher.  Today I will be providing a tutorial on how to make your own Bill Cipher using pencils, bendy straws, and paper. It will be a three dimensional pyramid. Materials Needed: Yellow construction paper Black construction paper 4 Bendy Straws White Paper 6 unsharpened Pencils of the same size A black marker A lot of Scotch tape A pen cap  Scissors Step-by-Step Tutorial Step 1:   Form a pyramid using the pencils and tape it all together, tying it with tape at the intersections. It may take a few tries to get the angles right. It will have a triangle base with three pencils coming out of each corner and meeting at a center point ahead.  Step 2: Trace the bottom triangle onto a yellow sheet of paper. Don't worry i...

NASA Discovers Seven Earth-Like Exoplanets That Have a Good Chance of Harboring Ingredients For Life

In the distant constellation of Aquarius, one of NASA's telescopes has spotted a system of seven exoplanets orbiting a small sun. This new discovery was live-streamed earlier today. Even though all of these could potentially have life, scientists are particularly interested in the area known as the "habitable zone", the distance from a sun that has the perfect conditions suitable for life. Above is an artist's model of the system. Of these planets, two are in  the"habitable zone".   One of them is called TRAPPIST-1d. This stands for Transiting Planets and Planetesimals Small Telescope in Chile. This discovery also breaks the record for the most amount of Earth-like exoplanets found in one system. As displayed on the chart above, they have very short and fast revolution periods. For one of them, a year would be only 20 days! Because of these very short rotation periods, the planets would offer a very beautiful view if you stood ...

Meet New Zelandia, Earth's New Eighth Continent

How many continents are there? Yes, I'm sure you learned in kindergarten that there are seven continents. But earlier today, scientists published a study in the Geological Society of America's Journal that argued that Zealandia, a landmass next to New Zealand that is mostly hidden below sea-level, should be considered to be a continent. I know that maybe you don't consider a blog by a twelve-year old kid to be accurate or reliable, but I'm serious. Don't believe me? The GSA, a group of scientists, made this article about it:  http://www.geosociety.org/gsatoday/archive/27/3/abstract/GSATG321A.1.htm It has been known that this could be a possibility for quite a while, actually. Geologists noticed that off the south coast of New Zealand, there was a very  diverse kind of rock, similar to a landmass itself. I could be distinguished from simply the ocean floor.  I wont get into all the fancy science reasons for it myself. But basically, I will na...

"LEGO Batman Movie"- Review [featuring Batman himself]

Hi guys today I will be doing a review of the LEGO Batman Movie! I watched it yesterday with my neighbor Young, as well as with my little brother Onur and his friends Justin and Danny.  My Rating (Out of 5 Bats) Sorry about that guys. Batman got so mad at me that he threw batarangs all around the picture! Anyways, I chose to rate this movie 4.3 out of 5 bats. What made you want to do that! I'm Batman. Yes, Batman. I heard you. And everybody knows your name. You don't have to keep saying "I'm Batman." The point is, why did you rate this movie that? I, as Batman myself, would rate it 5 BATS!!! I think the movie was actually pretty good. Better than the original LEGO Movie back in 2013. It had a lot of funny parts in it. It also had some cool references to other superheroes, and even a short appearance from Voldemort himself (from Harry Potter ). It also had some nice action scenes. However, the movie kind of was hard to follow at some...

Star Wars News | Rey's New Look for "The Last Jedi" and What it Means

Disney has unveiled an official image of Rey's new look in the upcoming film Star Wars: The Last Jedi . This post will be an analysis of why they changed it and what it means for the future of Rey's journey to be a Jedi. In case you didn't know what Force Friday is, is is a day of the year when Disney and Lucasfilm start selling products for the next installment of Star Wars. It usually happens in December. It starts at midnight and fans flock to their local stores to buy and check out everything from Star Wars action figures, books, clothing, Lego sets, and even cooking utensils and lip stick (saw it in a commercial once). Basically, it is great for any fan of Star Wars or any geeky collector to go crazy because of. Disney released the above image as an example of what a Force Friday product package may look like. It is basically a fill-in-the-blanks image that they can expand upon later. The most eye-catching part of this is obviously the images of ...
