Annie Jump Cannon

in today’s time. Annie Jump Cannon’s legacy will carry on lasting a lifetime! The first letters of each word in the phrase represents the seven main types of stars. Starting with ”‘O,” these stars are very young, blue, hot, massive and extremely bright star. This type of star is very uncommon similar to the “B” and “A” stars. These stars get their energy from nuclear fusion, as they convert Hydrogen to Helium. As these massive stars begin to die once they’ve worn out their hydrogen and are now very old stars, they turn into giants/supergiants (old, large stars), resting just above the main sequence stars. This is where the “F” and “G” stars are located. The hotter they are, the brighter they are demonstrating the Sun being a G star. Next, the core contracts as the outer layers expand. This is leading to the explosion of stars eventually becoming a planetary nebula or supernova,…

Annie Jump Cannon was an American astronomer and physicist who was born on December 11, 1863, in Dover, Delaware. Although she became deaf early on in life, her mother encouraged Cannon to pursue her passion for astronomy. Cannon attended Wellesley College and eventually graduated as a valedictorian during a time when there were limited opportunities for women in the field of academics, mainly science. She continued her post-graduate studies at Radcliffe College, which allowed her to gain access…

At this point about a third as much as previously done when he went to jump earlier. He had his right arm bent with his hand holding onto the back of his head. He had all of his fingers and his palm touching the back of his head. His other hand was outstretched entirely. He made the motion of a sprinkler, going slowly one way and then digressing partly back the other. While making this sprinkler motion, he twisted at his torso to make the rotation effect of the sprinkler. Every time he…

make it to summer workouts on time. After workouts me and a few others from the basketball team would go up to the gym and shoot around. Then at 12:00 i would have to be at work. I had the perfect summer job, I worked at the Pawnee bathhouse as a lif guard. Days at the bathhouse were fun and entertaining. One of my favorite times was when Caleb finally “jumped” off the high dive. He was are most loyal swimmer coming everyday we opened from the beginning. Everyone gave him a hard time about not…

Or you don’t even have to jump at all, it’s up to you.” I had to think for a little bit about this. The history here is a little bit deeper than I would like to admit. I had only started hanging out with Mikayla’s friends since the beginning of the summer. Zach was definitely a person I could trust, but I was still a little skeptical about jumping with him. This was my biggest fear that we were talking about here. This was the obstacle that haunted my nightmares. This was the one thing that has…

middle of the large rocks debating on whether or not to go back and chicken out. I could hear my dad yelling encouraging comments, while my siblings were telling me how much I was missing out on. I could almost feel the smooth stone cold rock crumble beneath my rough bare feet. I took another small terrified step closer to my doom as I looked over the sharp edge, seeing the dark water get further and further down from the edge. I quickly retreated back to my previous spot and crawled on all…

foot deep pool of water were extremely terrifying. On one side of the pool was a platform where you could dive off of, and the other were sharp rocks you could cut yourself on them if you didn’t dive far enough. I remember yelling to my brother “I’m scared, Ernie! I don’t want to jump! It’s too deep!” All I remember hearing from him is “Don’t be a wimp! You won’t have a chance to do this again! Just do it!” With that being said, I took a deep breath, held it, and jumped as high and as far as I…

about whether or not he survived the jump that enabled him to get away on that night. This debate stems from the plethora of facts that can back up either side of the story. Who knows how it has been over forty years with the case still open and still unsolved. Although it may never be proven whether D.B. Cooper lived or died after his attempted hijacking, there is definitely reason to believe that he could have survived the jump. It all started on the day the before Thanksgiving when a man…
