Astronomy 102 Lab: The Celestial Sphere And Coordinates, Katrina Powers
A with Honors Projects
An astronomy lab that explores introductory topics such as the celestial sphere, celestial coordinates, proper motion, and the impact of time on the location of stars in our sky. This lab is designed to be used on the program Stellarium.
Gemini, Michael Dalton
Gemini, Michael Dalton
Natural Sciences Student Research Presentations
This poster for the Natural Sciences Poster Session at Parkland College features the constellation Gemini, including a calculation of the change in rise time to determine the length of a year, determining the life span of the major stars in the constellation, identifying Messier objects within the region as well as the mythology behind the name of the constellation.

Draco, Christian Ekhoff
Natural Sciences Student Research Presentations
This poster for the Natural Sciences Poster Session at Parkland College features the constellation Draco, which is positioned between the big and little dipper in the Northern sky. It is also circumpolar and contains a galaxy and a nebula in its boundaries. The student identified ten different key stars in the constellation, observed when they rose and set. He then graphed their altitudes and azimuth and identified their life spans.

Cancer, Alexander M. Dani
Natural Sciences Student Research Presentations
This poster for the Natural Sciences Poster Session at Parkland College features the constellation Cancer, its ten brightest stars and Messier objects. Cancer (the crab) is a zodiac constellations located between Leo and Gemini. The student identified the ten different key stars and graphed their altitudes and azimuth to calculate their lifespans. He also described the two Messier objects and calculated how many days are in a year according to the rise times of a star in the constellation.

This poster for the Natural Sciences Poster Session at Parkland College features the constellation Gemini, identifying prominent stars in the constellation and objects within the region (nebulae, clusters, galaxies), calculating the lifespans of the stars in the constellation, calculating average rise time change, and briefly touching on the associated mythology.
Black Holes And Einstein: A Commentary Of The Types Of Black Holes That Produce Gravitational Waves, Sage A. Russell
Black Holes And Einstein: A Commentary Of The Types Of Black Holes That Produce Gravitational Waves, Sage A. Russell
A with Honors Projects
Perhaps the most the notorious player in the astronomical field, objects known as black holes captivate the imaginations of scientists and average folk the world over, but as much as we adore hypothesizing about what black holes are like, there is so much that we’re only just finding out about. From 1909 until 1918, famed physicist Albert Einstein predicted many characteristics of spacetime and the effect of massive objects on it, including the notion of an energy-carrying wave moving at the speed of light that causes ripples through the fabric of spacetime, otherwise known as gravitational waves. A relatively recent …
