Today I worked on the annotated bibliography of NOAO again. I updated two pages in my annotation after reading over the NOAO website. I will remain working on the annotation for the remainder of the week. At the end of class, TL held a meeting for all students studying astronomy this year, and explained to us about a comet in the air that has brightened 1 million fold since it started; this will become a big part of our projects.

Today I continued my bibliography of the NOAO site and finished one of the pages, and changed around the index page of my bibliography and added some pictures to other pages. I also received a helpful book on Astronomy that should answer some questions that I have and prove as helpful resource for later in the year. All of the astronomers also learned of an opportunity tonight to look at the aforementioned comet with our naked eye tonight, so I will try and take advantage of that.

Today SG and I discussed the future of the asteroids project with TL, and we decided to make a weekly meeting at the Notre Dame Jordan Hall observatory so that we can observe asteroids through the telescope there. We also met with the rest of the astronomy students to decide on a weekly meeting where we can all go to visit the observatory. We then resulted that we need to review occultations and what they are, and I will be adding the definition of them to the asteroid page.
