The '''Pacific Ocean''' is the part of the [[ocean]] between California and [[Japan]]. It was first discovered by [[Hernan Cortez]], as recorded by [[John Keats]] in ''On First Looking into Chapman's Homer,'' although later scholars believed [[Balboa]] might have sighted it sooner.

The '''Pacific Ocean''' is the part of the [[ocean]] between California and [[Japan]]. It was first discovered by [[Hernan Cortez]], not, as many believe, the [[Native Americans]]. [[John Keats]] recorded this auspicious event in his poem ''On First Looking into Chapman's Homer,'' although later scholars believed [[Balboa]] might have sighted it sooner. We just don't know.

The Pacific Ocean is the world's largest ocean, and one of the fabled "seven seas." [[Ferdinand Magellan]] crossed it on his voyages around the world. Scientists have calculated that it has the same volume as the moon, and may be the [[crater]] left when the moon and Earth were separated.
