Dear Students,
Here's some interesting space news on this cloudy day.
Scientists have discovered that our galaxy is much bigger than previously thought. A new study has revealed that the Milky Way measures nearly 2 million LY across--this includes both the luminous part of the spiral disk as well as the halo of dark matter that stretches far beyond it. This study will help scientists determine a better estimate of our galaxy's mass, as well as the number of galaxies that orbit it.

Most of you have completed yesterday's RB Topic #2 and have done
well--for the students who haven't completed this assignment, please
make it up in a timely manner. RB Topic #3 is due today.
Be well.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Crnosija
