I am still conducting research at the local Etscorn Observatory where I model light curves of asteroids from images I take there. I intend on concluding my research on a select few asteroids before November assuming the weather permits me to do so. This will result in papers being published in the January/December edition of the Minor Planet Bulletin as well as a presentation of my findings

level may have changed around the time of the extinction of the dinosaurs. This may have caused a loss of habitat for sea life such as ammonites. A massive meteorite hit the earth. Scientists have found a crater that could have been produced by this asteroid. If a meteorite big enough hit the earth then in theory the dinosaurs close enough would be killed instantly. The dinosaurs that survived would die out as a result of the thick cloud of ash a dust thrown up by the meteorite blocking the sun causing

The origin of the rings is still unknown‚ but scientists believe that the rings were created from debris from shattered moons‚ asteroids‚ or comets (space.com). The rings are made up of ice (frozen water) and rocky particles. Saturn’s rings are 250‚000 kilometers in diameter‚ but‚ they are very thin. The rings
