Gemini, Michael Dalton Jan 2019

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.


Gemini: The Twins Of Leda, Derek Schneider Jan 2017

Gemini: The Twins Of Leda, Derek Schneider

Natural Sciences Student Research Presentations

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.


Canis Major, Sage A. Russell Jan 2017

Canis Major, Sage A. Russell

Natural Sciences Student Research Presentations

This poster for the Natural Sciences Poster Session features the constellation Canis Major. Features of the poster include a calculation of the change in rise time to calculate the passage of a year, determining the life span of the major stars in the constellation, and identifying Messier objects within the region.


Orion, Katelyn G. Gyorkos Jan 2014

Orion, Katelyn G. Gyorkos

Natural Sciences Student Research Presentations

The purpose of this project was to gather information about the stars and objects in the constellation Orion. This is a project for the Natural Sciences Poster Session at Parkland College.


Orion, Eray Ergenc Jan 2014

Orion, Eray Ergenc

Natural Sciences Student Research Presentations

This poster for the Natural Sciences Poster Session at Parkland College features the constellation Orion and features information on the composition of the stars, their distances and their mass in relation to each other. Art and its inclusion in Greek mythology are also included.


Taurus, Alex P. Tomaras Jan 2014

Taurus, Alex P. Tomaras

Natural Sciences Student Research Presentations

The constellation Taurus is featured in this poster for the Natural Sciences Poster Session at Parkland College. Work to complete this project included calculating a ear's time by looking at the stars and their movement, plotting a graph with the azimuth and altitude, and determining the life span of the constellations stars.


Leo, Andrew P. Woolley Jan 2014

Leo, Andrew P. Woolley

Natural Sciences Student Research Presentations

The purpose of this project was to understand how information is gathered about stars, constellations, and galaxies, specifically the constellation Leo. Information gathered for this project includes how a star's position can be used to calculate the length of the year and how the mass and spectral type of a specific star can show when the star will die. This is a project for the Natural Sciences Poster Session at Parkland College


Constellation: Perseus, Marci Holman Jan 2013

Constellation: Perseus, Marci Holman

Natural Sciences Student Research Presentations

Using the constellation Perseus, the purpose of this project was to gain insight on how information is gathered about stars and what purpose that information serves. This is a project for the Natural Sciences Poster Session at Parkland College.


Contellation: Taurus, Gabriel Chaille Jan 2013

Contellation: Taurus, Gabriel Chaille

Natural Sciences Student Research Presentations

Using the constellation Taurus, the purpose of this project was to gain insight on how information is gathered about stars and what purpose that information serves.
