     Hello everyone My names Dorian Herrera, I have been interested in science discoveries and its advancements. When I was younger, I would stay up past 3 A.M. watching documentaries or Youtube videos about the findings of our scientists on Earth and beyond. Anytime I was bored I have aways resorted to a random science video to cure it. To the point now i start spewing assortments of space facts to my friends. Luck for me, they find that stuff interesting. Now to clarify, I am no expert but if you are as interested in our universe as me. Then I implore you to kick back and relax as i share some news with you may not have known.

There are so many things in our world that are discovered that the average person does not hear about that are truly astonishing. whether its a new element is discovered or a space expedition making a return. Like the NASA Space Craft, OSIRIS-REx, that is coming back from harvesting material from a asteroid named Bennu after being launched back in 2016. Allot of stuff have happened in the last decade that a majority of the public has not heard about, all may not be useful but they are undeniably fascinating.

In the the end, I hope to Inform you and elaborate on more discoveries that are happening or have happened around the world, because science is fun. So please tune in next time and Remember

Keep learning .

    That was very intersting! I am not as educated as you are with the topic of space, but I too find myself using it as a means of curing boredom. I Find space to be beautiful, and I hope that with the advancements the human race has been achieveing that soon people like you and me will be able to reach for the stars and actually visit space. I did notice that some grammar was incoorect, so if its not too late make sure you change that so he doesnt mark you down! Overall great post

    You got me very interested! These are very fascinating topics. I don't usually follow things associated with space and NASA, but thinking about it more of how much NASA has advanced is mind blowing. Very good, keep it up.

Entriy #2  OSIRIS-REx      Hello and welcome back to Project Star, my name is Dorian Herrera. today we will be diving deeper into a previously mentioned topic;  OSIRIS-REx , the spacecraft engineered by scientist at the University of Arizona. The name of the craft is stands for Origin, Spectral Interpretation, Resource Identification and Security- Regolith Explore. The space craft was launched into space in September 8th of 2016 with the main goal of retrieving a sample and pictures of Bennu , an asteroid near Earth. for this entire i would like to tell you about Its journey and why its important to know. ; so ill make this simple and and easier to digest.  (image source)      For its mission the space craft was meant to harvest pieces of Bennu.

Blog practice entry

     Entry#0  Practice entry       Hello, today i will be reviewing and comparing 2 blogs that revolve around a girl scouts encounter with a wild alligator. for some context on September 13 2023, a girl scout troop in Huntsville Texas had a sudden encounter with a Wild alligator while swimming in Lake Raven  that caused the Huntsville state park to close the the body of water to swimmers. Luckily no one was harmed, but they sure got one hell of a scare. Image source      Blog number one is brought to you by B ro b ible . I enjoyed how author elaborates on the situation by using the first hand responses during the event like when they used the words of Nicole Glenn, the troop leader,  “There was no doubt in my mind that that alligator was not going to try and eat somebody. I always say that I love them to death. I always say I would do anything for them. Now, I definitely know I would do anything for them.”.  The ...

The Core

Entire #10 Planet Core Hello  and welcome, to the end of Project star When we think of the earth's core we think of molten metal thousands of miles beneath the earth's surface. But we really do not know much else about it.  When it comes to the core of our planet, it's  incredibly difficult to research because in order to study it we would have to dig thousands of miles down, and have tools that could withstand both the extreme heat and pressure without breaking. However recently a team at NASA discovered an Asteroid that could potentially help us learn more about our own planet. (image source) This asteroid is named 16 Psyche and is 173 miles wide, 140 miles long and made mostly of metal. Psyche resides within our sun's orbit and floats between Jupitar and Mars which is around 272 million miles away. On a side note, scientists calculated that 16 Psyche has a 5 year long solar orbit with 4 hour long days meaning that there are 10,950 days in one Psyche year. Lastly...
