My favorite constellation is Crux. I have always been interested in stars, but I have had trouble recognizing constellations. And Crux, or more specifically, the asterism of the Southern Cross, was the first constellation I ever distinguished in the night sky without assistance. I also associate the constellation with the trip that I was on at the time I saw it, since it is not visible from my home. Crux is the smallest constellation, but it is bright and easily seen and recognized with the naked

When Abel Tasman set sail in 1642, nobody expected him to be the first to sight New Zealand, Tonga, and the Fiji islands. Many places bear his name today in honor of his significant discoveries where he opened doors for many future explorers. Abel Tasman was born on 1602 in the village of Lutjegast in the Netherlands. Very little is known of his childhood. Tasman got married to his first wife on 1631 named Claesgie Heyndrix and had his first daughter Claesjen. Unfortunately Claesgie died and Tasman

The Potential Metaphorical Significance of Pi’s Journey “So the Taiwanese sailor is the Zebra, his mother is the orangutang, the cook is… the hyena- which means he’s the tiger” (Martel 311). In Yann Martel’s Life of Pi, the potential metaphorical significance of Pi’s journey is that he transforms from the scared goat into the ferocious and fearless tiger. In the start of the novel, Pi is scared and tries to flee from danger. As the novel progresses he loses his fear. In the beginning of the novel

I like it. Immersing myself in another culture truly inspires me. While in Fiji, we did just that. The differences between our local city and their island were incredible. Seeing how the people live without the abundant amount of resources we have was a shock. As we have roads, they have trails.

I loved the small fishing towns that give way to small rolling hills and picturesque scenery. Although I have never travelled to Alaska my boyfriend has on occasion to visit family. We have jokingly spoken of the vast difference in size, as well as cultural and climate differences both states have that make them unique. To begin Alaska

The testing was done primarily on the Islands of Bikini and Eniwetok between 1946 and 1958, resulting in the contamination of many of the Marshall Island (Takahashi, Fujimori, Simon, Bechtner, Edwards and Trott, 1999). Consequences of the contamination from the 65 tests were difficult to determine because of the cumulative nature of radiation exposure (Takahashi, 1999). However, on March 1, 1954, one discharged

[NES] I force my fingers, numb from the cold, to work, as I finish assembling Professor Polgara’s new Scope 72, a fantastic black and golden telescope. She lent it to me with the promise of it being returned in absolute perfect condition, and accompanied by a report on my observations. My assignment for this morning: the elusive planet Mercury. The Astronomy tower is deserted at this inglorious hour, but I prefer to work alone, even though a creak of the old boards startles me every now and then
