The fast-paced action of the show combined with the mysterious creatures it showcases are what keep me watching. Mountain Monsters airs Friday nights at 10 p.m. on Destination America. Be sure to also read, âMen of âMountain Monstersâ investigate Ohio folklore.â. Jan. 2016 update: Trapper is not dead. I was fortunate enough to have one of my April 2014 blogs (âMountain Monstersâ â Theyâre more familiar than you think) catch the attention of the folks at Destination America who produce the show.
Multiwavelength Milky Way. Our solar system consists of an average star we call the Sun, the planets Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto. It includes: the satellites of the planets; numerous comets, asteroids, and meteoroids; and the interplanetary medium.
View full size image. Stars make their own light, just like our sun (the sun is a star â the closest star to Earth). But the stars are very, very far away from our solar system so they appear to be very tiny to us, even though up close they are large. The planets are much closer, inside our solar system. Although the planets are much smaller than the stars, planets appear to be about the same size as the stars because they are so close to us. Planets don't produce their own light. They reflect the light of the sun in the same way our moon reflects sunlight.
