Bad Astronomy

1. Sun: Under visible light the sun looks as it does everyday, yellow orangish. The sun under x-rays you're able to see the sun spots and the sun is more red than in visible light. You can also see the heat radiation the sun gives off. Under the radio waves the sun is mainly blue colored and has different colored spots almost like a doppler radar.
2. Saturn: Under visible light Saturn is gray and you're able to see the planet's rings. Saturn under x-rays is light in the middle then a lot of different colors that are blurred. Under the radio waves scope Saturn is red in the planet and the rings are blue.
3. Cygnus A: Cygnus A under visible light is a small sphere that is orange and yellow. Under x-rays it is about 5 times bigger than visible light and the center is yellow while the outer layer is red. And under the radio waves scope Cygnus A is faded red and has two yellow spheres in the middle.
4. Betelgeuse: Betelgeuse under visible light is a small sphere that is also orange and yellow. Under x-rays Betelgeuse is not visible. Under the radio waves scope it is large and blue except the middle where it looks like different colors on a doppler radar.
5. NGC 7027: NGC 7027 under visible light looks almost like butterfly wings and is reddish purple. Under x-rays it is red and yellow with no clear shape. And under the radio waves scope NGC 7027 is mainly yellow with a thin outer blue layer.


1. Bad Moon Rising
Before I believed that we have set foot on the moon and it wasn't faked. I learned that it is possible to pass through the Van Allen belt and not be exposed to dangerous doses of radiation.

2. The Sky At Night
Before I thought that stars were either white or a couple different colors like red,blue, and yellow. I learned that stars can be any one of the colors of the rainbow.

3. A Step Farther Out
Before I thought that there was a possibility of there being a Planet X, but now I learned that there is no such planet anywhere.

This trimester in Global Science I would like to learn about the atmosphere, hydrosphere, biosphere, and geosphere. I would also like to learn more about how these spheres interact everyday. Another subject in Global Science that I would like to learn about is the number of hours in a day and how they change constantly. And I'd like to learn about how these spheres have changed over time. I think that taking obsevations of these processes from each sphere can be exciting and fun.

I know a little about computers and technology but this is my first time blogging. I have had experience with blogs before in the first and second trimesters for Mr. Beals class. He would use his blog to post our homework and other assignments. Also I have had experience in researching topics on the internet. I now know how to create my own blog and I would like to learn how to start blogging.
