“Exploring the Final Frontier: A Review of the Article ‘The Search for Extraterrestrial Life'” Article: “The Search for Extraterrestrial Life” by NASA (https://www.nasa.gov/audience/forstudents/5-

Choose 1 article (online web article, journal article, news article, book topic) regarding anything related to space, whether covered in the course or not. 2) Example of topics: space travel, colonization of Mars, newly discovered planets or stars, new technologies, etc… It’s a really broad topic, so you can pick anything that fascinates YOU. I want you to enjoy learning about your topic, so make it something you like. 3) Write a 1 page review of the article, in which you detail why you chose the topic, how it relates to our course or to space science, give a detailed summary of the article, and explain any new valuable information you have learned from this, you can also explain how you could use this information in the future. 4) Make sure to include the citation for your article and use regular 12 point formatting. Use proper grammar and sentence structure. I won’t grade hard for these mistakes.

“Investigating the Rotational Period of the Sun using Sunspot Observations” Introduction: The Sun is a massive, rotating star at the center of our solar system. Its rotation plays a crucial role in the formation and maintenance of its magnetic

I’ve attatched the lab report instructions below. I have to answer the following questions:
1. What is the synodic rotational period of the Sun at the latitude of your sunspots.
2. What is the sidereal rotational period of the Sun at the latitude of your sunspots.
***You may ignore section A and section D. There answer parts B and C
I went out and took in-person obervations of the sun for this lab-report so that should be taken into account when writing this assignment and making these calculations. I’m going to upload all of the information I collected although it is not much. 
This report needs to perform calculations, but also provide a formal write up that has each component that the peer review feedback form is looking for below as that can be used somewhat as a rough rubric. The two photos taken of the telescope lense where you cannot see any detail of the sun and it is slightly out of focus, is from the first day of observations where I was missing a piece of equipment and I’ll need to rely more on my sketch from that day. The photos where it is more in focus is from the second day of obsertvation.

Title: Expanding Options for Night Sky Observations

Students will be watching presentations, completing reading assignments, and joining in a discussion during the class.  In addition, students will be asked to provide written responses to four prompts directly related to the module materials.
Instructions
There are four Short Response assignments for the course.  Each Short Response assignment has its own prompt and addresses a different topic related to the class.  For each of the four Short Response assignments:
• The student must follow the specific guidance of the prompt.
• The student’s response must be between 200 and 300 words in total length.
• The student must use proper grammar, spelling and syntax, but there is no specific “style” requirement (MLA, APA, etc.).
• The student is only allowed one attempt.  Edit and proof-read work carefully prior to submission.
• The student must submit the short response as a Word document.
Response Prompt
In the Discussion: Naked Eye Observations you were instructed to go outside with naked-eye resources to help you become more familiar with the night sky.  For this assignment, you will expand your options for making observations.  Please discuss other resources, methods or organizations that are available to you that you might be able to put into use now or in the coming weeks.  Do not use any of the resources or affiliated websites listed in the Discussion: Naked Eye Observations to write your response.
Here are your options:
• A local observatory—for example, if you live in the Lynchburg area you could discuss the campus observatory at the equestrian center.
• A nearby planetarium—perhaps you live close to a university, museum, etc. that has a planetarium and runs programs for the public.
• A local astronomy club—your town or county may have an “astronomical society” that invites the public to get involved at “star parties” or similar events.
• A phone app—download an astronomy app.  There are many to choose from, and some of them are free.  Even those with a cost tend to be very inexpensive.
• A “new” online astronomy resource—discuss a good online resource that was not one of the resources or affiliated websites listed in the Discussion: NakedEye Observations.
• A home telescope—if you own a telescope and you know how to use it, share your experiences.
Write your response as two paragraphs (200-300 words total).
In paragraph 1, discuss the new resource you have selected.  For example–What is it?  Where did you find it?  How does it “work?”  How will it help you with navigating the night sky?
In paragraph 2, discuss either (1) how you plan to make use of the new resource in the near future or (2) how you were actually able to use the new resource this week!
