After hearing the topics to choose from, on the 18th, I had narrowed it down between researching the sun or discovering an asteroid using Pan-STARRS and International Astronomical Search Collaberation. As cool as the asteroid search seems to be, I think I am leaning towards studying the sun because I am awful with technology, and it may be hard to make sure that if I do find an asteroid, it isn't one that is already found. Plus, the sun sounds interesting, especially because it is the giant star that we orbit around. Not much about the sun is taught in school, and to see it up close with a telescope for once, where it won't hurt my eyes and blind me, sounds amazing.
After talking with a classmate, Ali, about class, we discovered that we would work great together. We both want to receive an A in the class, and are hard workers. We both have similar ambition, drives, and motivation. We knew that we could count on each other, since we are not fans of group work, due to bad experiences of always doing the work while others in the group slacked off. So, I got my partner, but what topic do I choose?
After later discussion with Ali about the topics, and her e-mailing the Professor for clarification and such, we decided to do the sun. Perhaps we could do the asteroid one as well, only not for a grade, but for fun?
Step One: Complete.
