Here are some ideas to write

• Jupiter
• Astronauts
• Earth    
• The Moon
• Eclipses
• Stars

My topic is:

Cygnus X-1

You need to attend one workshop with the teacher on an area that you feel you need help with for your writing. Here is the timetable where you will make your bookings. There is space for seven people in each workshop so book in quickly to make sure there is space!

Start researching and plan your writing here: (remember to write notes in your plan). Click here to see an exemplar of a plan.

Introduction:
Main idea: A supergiant star orbits the Cygnus X-1	More detail: The Cygnus X-1 was the first black hole discovered	More detail: The Cygnus X-1 was discovered in 1972 by Tom Bolton
Main idea: the cygnus X-1 supergiant star orbits it 5.6 days	More detail: the supergiant star is 25 to 30 times bigger.	More detail: the hole in Cygnus X-1 is 7 to 15 suns larger
Main idea: the Cygnus X-1 is located at sagittarius arm of the milky way	More detail: the type of black hole it is stellar mass black hole.	More detail: the cygnus X-1 is 8,200 light years.

Dimeter

The diameter from the black hole to the supergiant star is 20 to 40 miles (30 to 60 km).
