EcoLogically…today is, “Magpies”
In my cool EcoLogical Calendar, they give each day a great, earthy kinda name. Today is called “Magpies.” I’ll try to let you know what the day-name is when I write a post! (Tomorrow is “AzureButterflies and Wednesday is “SilkTree”)
A few highlights from the calendar this week:
On Friday morning, April 17 (GeeseFlock, in my calendar,) you will see a bright star near the moon. It is Antares, the brightest star in the constellation, Scorpio.”
Antares is a red supergiant star. It’s 700 TIMES bigger than our sun! In astrology, they call it, “the heart of the scorpion!”
Wouldn’t, “Antares” be a good name for a villain? I can’t wait to see it.

that is so cool!! The ecological calender is so cool too! Tommorow my science class is going to NASAs’ space teaching chalenger program. We all got “jobs” and we get to “fly” the space shuttel. I am the life suppoort scientist in missoin control. I cannot wait!

Ooooh! So, you’re in charge of making sure the mission crew has their bits of Gaia (water, air, food) they can’t do with out? Let me know how it is!
Also, if you get to talk to someone who has actually been to space, ask them if/how the stars look different when you are up there, versus looking through our atmosphere. I’m curious!

It was really fun! I actually had 4 emergancies! The humidity was low twice and I was in mission control so I had to send them the emergancy procedures(to grab on to the metal bars at each station to prevent static when touching the computers), the air pressure was low, so they had to release it, and then, something similar to what happened on Apollo 13 with the oxygen tanks so I had to reroute the oxygens paths and shut down certain airway pathsand open others so that we wouldn’t run out and have to high levels of the co2. Also, I had to test the solar panels angels and see how many milliamps I got from each angle! It was so fun! One of the mission commanders had footage from the 2nd Appollo mission and he siad that everything in space did look different because our atmospere compared to the moons is very thick and all the stars are much clearer.

ANTARES!
We meet again.
You will not escape on your evil spaceship disguised as a star! You will not fill out your evil plans for domination!
For I am…
The PROCRASTINATOR!
To the couch!

The heart of the scorpion… that sounds so cool, I wonder if scorpions have red blood?
