method to solve increasingly more serious problems, culminating in the countywide science fair. At Science Montgomery, I won first place with my research into making an optimal parabolic reflector that resolves the common problem of weak internet signals. However, my interests in science, technology, engineering, and math are as broad as my imagination. I am especially eager to work in the areas of planetary science, astronomy, applied physics, and applied mathematics. Likewise, I would like to explore

University of Technology Assignment 2- Folio Executive Director of the Planetary Society Bill Nye said that “science is the key to our future, and if you do not believe in science, then you are holding everyone back” (Bill Nye, n.d). Scientific phenomena take place everywhere in people daily life. The collecting items demonstrate a clear linking from the natural objects to science and technology and how the educators reform them to become meaningful items for the children to

tools including chemistry, biology, physics, planetary science, geology, astronomy, and anthropology, are used to research such questions. One common critique of astrobiology is that it is a scientific endeavor without a singe data point. Such critiques can be proved misguided by the fact that astrobiology concerns itself essentially with interpretations of existing scientific theories. In entirety, astrobiology is more that biology: it's biology in a planetary and astrophysical frame of reference, studied

day out to return that money to them through economic development? Or should it be added into another random budget because it has been complained that NASA is too expensive?” The answer is simple. There is not a single reason to cut NASA’s Earth Science budget. The bill will end up directly affecting the economy, people’s life style, people 's safety, and scientist programs that are vital for keeping this world alive and well. David Malakoff (

course Distributed Computing. After applying the Map Reduce and Hadoop techniques to the planetary database, and to the star database, we realize that bringing a large dataset into a tidy and insightful categorization is made easy using Map Reduce. It also shows the power, and elegance of map-reduce in the realm of astronomy and the physical sciences. Introduction: Astronomy, is a fascinating area of the science where most of the information is unknown. We have been seeing stars since time immemorial

My career choice is Planetary Science. The reason I picked this job is because, I remember when I was in about third or fourth grade. I really wanted a telescope to see what the moon looks like close up. One day, I asked my parents if we can get a telescope. When I got one it was a tiny small red telescope. I really wanted to see the moon, but in Grays Harbor you can’t really see the sky at night because of how cloudy it is. But whenever I got the time to look up at the night sky I would take

unsolved contradiction for planetary scientists and physicists about their origin, but hint them that better understanding those rocks might be an all-important key for unwinding the unraveled puzzles going back to the creation of the universe. The fascination with chondrites mainly stems from their presumed ancient history. Empowered with a contemporary technological advancement of the twenty-first century, like Electronic Backscatter diffraction method (Sephton, 38), planetary physicists stole the headlines

Hollywood has had a history of producing apocalyptic science fiction films in which certain societies are faced with life-threatening conditions and have to look to other planets for gathering resources. Movies such as Oblivion (directed by Joseph Kozinsky) and War of the Worlds (Steven Spielberg) focus on aliens who arrive on Earth, looking to wipe out humankind in hopes of obtaining the planet’s food and water to sustain their own population. They are seen to be evil and greedy creatures who care

Abstract “Astrobiology is the field of study focused on searches for life and possible habitats for such life on other worlds” (2014). The science of astrobiology has many areas of study and is important because it helps us find other places in the universe that could be habitable, determine the potential for habitable planets beyond the solar system, and understand those planets that we can observe in the universe. Scientists have many ideas on how to recognize signs of life on other planets (Des

Have you ever looked up at the sky on a clear night and wondered, “what else is out there?”. What could possibly lie beyond the beautiful blanket of stars that we see with our naked eye? Nebulas are one of many galactic phenomena that lie beyond the Kuiper belt. Mysterious and fascinatingly beautiful sights to behold, they have more of a purpose than just painting the galaxy backdrop with color. I’m not a diehard fan of astronomy and to be perfectly honest I find it difficult to follow most of
