This is my first introductory blog for ASTR 2110. The image above is a picture taken by Hubble of the Pillars of Creation, a structure in the Eagle Nebula. I chose this image because I really like the colors and it is one of my favorite space pictures. You can read more about the pillars of creation here.
I think this picture represents me well because I have a big passion for space, specifically interplanetary travel. Images like this inspire me because I believe the future of humanity resides on multiple planets, and I want to be a part of the engineering behind it.
This is the main hangar of the National Air and Space Museum. I used to love coming here as a kid, and it is one of the reasons that I become fascinated with outer space.
Hi~~ I am Siyuan(Sissi) Chen, a freshman majoring in chemical engineering and physics with astronomy/astrophysics track. I like playing sports, especially soccer in my free time. As coming for Nashville, I also enjoy observing an infinite number of stars at night, which are really spectacular!!! Here are my ins & please follow me~
The image featured is from my personal website. I had designed it to be a pulsar (still a work in progress) but I had done so in order to teach myself the basics of JavaScript. The red, white, and yellow squared are intended to represent distant stars, and are simple boxes to save on compute resources.
Work-In-Progress Pulsar, by me. http://karanbhardwaj.com/
Hi! My name is Carson Viggiano, I’m majoring in Spanish, Portuguese, and Arabic and minoring in Political Theory. I’ve always loved the sky, cloud formations, and constellation patterns, so I’m really excited about this class.
Ocean Avenue, pictured above, is a street running along the Pacific Ocean in Santa Monica California. This street is on the course of the Santa Monica Classic!
This is a beautiful photo contrasting the green plain and the blue sky. When I see this I just want to sprint for miles.
This is a photo of Neptune, my favorite planet in the solar system, besides Earth of course. It is my favorite planet for the simple reasons that I find it nice to look at, and Neptune is the Roman version of Poseidon, which is my favorite mythological god.
Hi! My name is Grace Ward and this is the beginning of my astronomy blog. I got to see the total solar eclipse that happened in Tennessee a few years ago. Since then, I have been fascinated by astronomy.
I remember being surrounded by people in awe of the eclipse, how dark it got outside, and how amazing it was to see. I will never forget it.
I’m excited for this semester and this blog! See you next time! (:
