Earth Science Honors - Wed., Mar. 25

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.  To read more, go to: https://www.sciencenews.org/article/astronomers-have-found-edge-milky-way-size

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
