MSU Experience

5 Things I Learned at the Planetarium:
  • The north star doesn't move in our sky because our axis points straight at it.
  • Scorpio the zodiac sign for October is not visible during October despite the fact that, that is the sign for October and some of November
  • There are galaxies that are many different  shapes.
  • Our galaxy is the milky way galaxy.
  • Our galaxy is a spiral galaxy.
3 things I Learned at the Cyclotron:
  •  There is a 6 foot thick door that closes to protect everyone from radiation.
  • The walls and ceilings can be moved to accommodate for increasingly better technology.
  •  MSU is making a linear accelerator and tearing out the cyclotrons because linear accelerators make atoms go closer to the speed of light.
2 Things I Enjoyed the Most:
  • I enjoyed trying the chocolate cheese despite the fact that it was nasty.
  •  I enjoyed lunch time and ICE CREAM! :)
If I could change anything about the trip I would change the weather because it kind of made it a bad day for the trip.
