America and Britain are usually paired with one another when discussing ideas about the world, because they contain so many similarities. Throughout the course of my time here, I have discovered, although that is not the case when it…

I look up to the sky and see millions of stars, and I wonder to myself. What makes them light up so bright, and what makes them a star? What does it take to create a star; they just don’t pop out and shine bright. I want to know the process, and how long it takes for a star to be born. I am also curious to know if the star can die. I plan on finding the answer. I believe that they are created by gases and that they die when they use up all of their gases. Stars have had an impact in our…

There are many theories for how life started on earth. After reading many theories, I found the Lighting and Panspermia theory the most interesting.

The Lighting theory is the idea of chemicals from earth’s early atmosphere working together with chemicals and lighting from erupting volcanoes in order to create the first life on earth. The second theory is the Panspermia theory, the idea that earth’s first…

Nuclear Fusion and the Remains of a Dead Star Throughout the history of Earth, multicellular organisms rely on one thing, the sun. And throughout the observable universe, there are million of stars out there just like our sun. These stars could be different however, with either more mass, volume, heat, etc. In our high school career, we learn a lot about astronomy, such as the order of the planets in our solar system. We also learn about gravity, rotation of planets, and how long it takes…

his use of stars throughout his poetry to signify a light in the dark. Neruda uses a star motif to indicate a positive feeling or outlook surrounded by the harsh darkness of negativity. Neruda suggests that there can only be light if there is also darkness and the emotional highs and lows in life must ultimately balance out. In his poems, Neruda uses the motif of stars to portray positive emotions in contrast to the negative emotions represented by night, showing the reader that people cannot…

One example is, the 13 Apollo missions have helped us learn about the moon and have showed people that we can land on the moon. This shows that if we had not done those Apollo missions, we might of still have not landed on the moon and still be trying to explore space from Earth. Another example is, the hubble space telescope takes pictures every day of, stars, planets, and even, black holes. This shows that eventually we will get a picture of a planet that we can colonize on. My third example…

however, determining whether the facts that I collected and the opinions I formed based on those facts is correct, is harder to complete on my own. Our group discussion of the film One Night With the King was collaborative in that we agreed with one another on several aspects of the film, which many of us had detailed in our essays. I also found our group discussion beneficial in that it helped me understand the context of the film better. I had the chance to build upon the knowledge I had…
