Welcome

Hello everyone! My name is John Newell and I am from Saint Louis Missouri. As I do with most people I meet in person, I will now force you to look at a picture of my dog. His name is Lloyd. In this picture, Lloyd is looking very handsome in his bowtie! Oh – and here is a link to a sight about his breed, assuming you’ve just been convinced to get one yourself.

Hello! I’m Mackenna, a sophomore Earth and Environmental Sciences major with plans to minor in Astronomy and Anthropology! The picture above is of one of my favorite places: Goblin Valley State Park! It’s a really cool place in Utah filled with mushroom-shaped rock formations. It’s also designated as an International Dark Sky Park, so the stargazing on a clear night is amazing. The proposal to the IDSA has some more cool pictures and information about astronomy in the park!

Introductory Post: Blood Moon

Blood Moon (Lake Nebagamon, WI)

Taken by ajcapes_photography

This photo of a blood moon was taken by my friend, Aidan, while we along with all of our friends were in Lake Nebagamon, WI this summer. We grew up going to camp together in Wisconsin, and it was really cool to hang out all summer there with them. Seeing this blood moon was one of the highlights of the summer.
