SG+Week+of+November+26

Monday, November 26th- Look at Wednesday, November 28th. Tuesday, November 27th- Look at Wednesday, November 28th. Wednesday, November 28th Today I worked on this. It is our calculation on the dwarf planet Ceres and these calculations prove to us how long it would take Ceres to cross an infinitely small star. It also determines that all we need to know about an asteroid is its orbital speed and size because with these two qualities we can figure out how long it will fully pass a star. We will be able to apply this process in our studies when we actually go to Jordan Hall, which we will be going to for the first time tonight at 9 PM. Dr. Loughran assigned MM and myself with the goal to find this calculation on Monday.To get this calculation I asked Mr. Lietz, the ultimate math wizard, on Monday after school for help. He primarily did the calculation and explained to me how to understand it and apply it. This lasted for about an hour and a half and was very helpful. Yesterday Dr. Loughran showed MM, CN, ID, and myself the New Mexico Skies website that we'll be using in the future to do our studies. It was mainly an introduction to the website. Thursday and Friday - I was absent on Thursday and no school on Friday.
