Congratulations to.....

​
EVAN AGUIRRE
​
I am so proud of Evan. He has demonstrated such excellent responsibility by always sitting nicely during class discussions. I can count on him to show everyone what it looks like to be a great listener who keeps looking at the speaker and not talking to others when someone else is sharing! Keep up the excellent growth Evan!

Some Fun Astronomy Facts
Homunculus Nebula
​​
"Eta Carinae's great eruption in the 1840s created the billowing Homunculus Nebula, imaged here by Hubble, and transformed the binary into a unique object in our galaxy. Astronomers cannot yet explain what caused this eruption. The discovery of likely Eta Carinae twins in other galaxies will help scientists better understand this brief phase in the life of a massive star."

Horsehead Nebula
​​
The Horsehead Nebula, embedded in the vast and complex Orion Nebula, is seen in this representative-color image from the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope in Hawaii. The dark molecular cloud, roughly 1,500 light years distant, is visible only because its obscuring dust is silhouetted against another, brighter nebula. The prominent horse head portion of the nebula is really just part of a larger cloud of dust which can be seen extending toward the bottom of the picture.

Starburst Galaxy M82
​​
"The starburst galaxy M82 is one of the most studied objects in the sky. Now, an international team of astronomers, using data from the orbiting Hubble Space Telescope and the ground-based WIYN Telescope, have traced the source of the enigmatic, million mile per hour winds that shower the cosmos to the starburst heart of the galaxy. The violent winds, astronomers believe, were sparked by the M82's near-miss collision with the neighboring spiral galaxy M81, which set off an explosive burst of star formation in the the galaxy's characteristic signature starburst."
