On this page you will find several of the PowerPoints that I made during my stay at the ASP for Astronomy at St. Paul's School. There are the PowerPoints of my planet project, satellite project, and final project. My planet was Neptune as I 'm sure you already knew because of the sign next to my name. I had the HEAO and INTEGRAL satellites, which pick up X-Rays and Gamma Rays. My final project was on the death of stars. For prospective students, I would highly recommend this course. It is really fun and you learn a lot. For my admirers I would recomend looking at the picture (sicpic) I took called M51. It has a supernova in it and it is all around really cool. The supernova is on the right hand side of the picture, you'll see two bright spots near the edge of the galaxy. The lower one is the supernova, which occured shortly before arriving at the ASP program. Made to order!

My Pictures (click on each to see a larger version)
	M51 in Canis Venatici reveals a supernova, which showed up on June 27, 2005, but really occured 31 million years ago.
	M63 - The Sunflower Galaxy in Canis Venatici
	M31, 32, 110 - The Adromeda Galaxy with its two companion elliptical galaxies.
	M8 - The Lagoon Nebula in Sagittarius. Rich star-forming region.
	M27 - The Dumbbell Nebula in Vulpecula. A planetary nebula. You can see the remaining white dwarf star at the center of the expelled gas cloud.
	NGC 7023 in Cepheus - Bright Nebula.
	Waxing Gibbous Moon taken on 15 July 2005.
	Sun taken on 2 July 2005. This is the end of the Sun's current solar cycle and you can clearly see the string of sunspots lying alone its equator, marking this occasion.
