This painting is my finished product of a combination of finger painting and paintbrush painting. I painted the petals of the flowers with my finger, but I made the center of the flower and the stems and branches with a paintbrush.

Yellow Fever

1 One day, Duster Dohf slowly trudged home. He had a headache worse than he ever imagined. His dad would get angry at him again just because he was late for dinner.

This means that Saturn’s sixth largest moon is open to life. However, this is not found in the north pole. The reason is that the north is heavily cratered, and has rock underneath it, while the south is not, and has resurfaced over time. Other moons, such as Titan of Saturn, and Europa, Callista, and Ganymade of Jupiter may also have oceans under ice. Personal Response: I chose this article because I like learning things about space.

That means that there could be extraterrestrial life in outer space. This is important because with this info...
