Wrapping Up the Solar System – Cameron Klein – Blog #8
Wow. I simply cannot believe that the second semester of my freshman year has come to a close. Entering this class, I was expecting to struggle through just another science course, however, I could not have been more wrong. I have learned more in this class than any other class that I have ever taken. […] Continue reading

Blog 7: Interstellar Travel
In movies, spaceships often travel at the speed of light, but in reality, we are far from achieving this. Our fastest spacecraft only reach 1/10,000 of the speed of light taking them about 100,000 years to get to the nearest star system. Moreover, the spacecraft we’ve sent so far aren’t even headed towards Alpha Centauri due to […] Continue reading
The Fermi Paradox – Cameron Klein – Blog Post #7
Humans have never left the Milky Way. Therefore, it is really difficult to know if life truly exists beyond our galaxy. However, if humans were to become interstellar travelers (even if traveling at relatively slow speeds), we would be able to have humans all around the Milky Way in just a few million years! Though […] Continue reading

A New Era of Stargazing
This beach pictured on Nantucket Island is my favorite place on Earth, and the origin of my interest in astronomy and curiosity of what lies beyond what we know. This beach is on the tip of the island, making light pollution a limited issue and allowing for incredible stargazing when the sun sets beyond the […] Continue reading
