This is her first space flight. Mission Specialist K. Megan McArthur earned her B.S. in aerospace engineering at UCLA in 1993. She went on to obtain a Ph.D. from the Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego. In 2000‚ she joined NASA‚ where she worked

Galileo Galilei was a paving stone for the advancement in the fields of science and astronomy in that he invented‚ introduced and provided proof for concepts‚ laws‚ and new technologies which have assisted mankind in understanding the laws which govern Earth. His brilliance and zeal for science and astronomy has inspired and motivated other great intellectuals to explore and enhance our understanding of science. In 1583‚ Galileo made his first important discovery when he witnessed a chandelier swinging

like in 1010. The first event that I attended was the courtyard telescope setup on January 31st‚ in which we were observing a couple of different provinces and sunspots located about 10 o’clock region located directly on the sun. (See lab book for illustration.) We were experiencing “H-Alpha Light” which is a type of light that is not emitted as much from the sun. We used a hydrogen-emission lens used on a simple refracting telescope. The second event that I went to was an observing done by Dr

Lab 3: Hydrogen Spectrum Abstract When white light is viewed through a diffraction grating‚ we can see each component that makes up the light. However‚ when in an excited state‚ a gaseous element produces bright light of specific wavelengths rather than a continuous spectrum of colors. This phenomenon ultimately lead to the Neils Bohr model of the atom in 1913. Introduction In the middle of the 19th century‚ Robert Bunsen and Gustav Kichoff observed that gases emit spectral lines specific

Paraphrasing Paragraph 1 With his telescope Galileo made quite a few spectacular discoveries. The moon‚ Jupiter‚ and the Milky Way were part of these discoveries. His discoveries were accomplished with a low powered telescope‚ lower than the telescopes we use today. Paragraph 2 There is¬¬¬¬¬¬ a larger number of extroverts than introverts in America. That makes it harder for introverts to fit in with other extroverts. When introverts go to school it is harder for them because the teacher makes

He has invented a lot of things for example the telescope. Galileo was born February 15‚ 1564‚ in Pisa‚ Italy. He was the oldest of six children. He had three sisters and two brothers.He was one of the most significant person in the history of science. He also made many quotes like this one‚ for example:

Gene Shoemaker had even said that he would not be surprised if they didn’t see anything using the HST. But on March 23‚1993‚ sitting at an 18-inch Schmidt telescope dome atop Palomar Mountain in California‚ the unforgettable journey began. While this was an once in a lifetime event‚ Eugene Shoemaker only got to live out his fame in the science world for a few more years. In 1997‚ he was in a car accident in
