So fresh and so Clean

So fresh and so Clean

  Hello and welcome back to Project stars, My name is Dorian Herrera and I want to take a journey with you. Picture this, you have just awoken from a deep sleep, only to find out that you overslept. You are gonna be late to school, so you quickly rummage around your room and start throwing cloths on your body and dart to campus. After that, you somehow manage to make it on time; but realize that your breath reeks. Since you were so focused on making it on time you forgot to brush your teeth, and now are suffering the consequences of morning breath. Luckily for you, in your bag is an ace up your sleeve. Inside your bag is a small, blue and white metal tin wrapped tightly in plastic. Quickly, you tear through the thin plastic layer and pop the lid open.

    As the metal cap swings back, your nostrils are forced open by the menthol aroma; and breathing so clearly that you feel like your nose has been replaced. Next you push back the paper and reach for a small pale puck, no bigger than a pinky nail; and place it on your tongue. For the next few minutes, all the nerves in your mouth are cooled down and you can feel the puck slowly lose its mass as it disappears. However in your mind this is not the time for a treat, this is a hygiene emergency.

  The tin is flipped open once again, this time you steal 2 pieces instead. Once the pucks are in your grasp again, they are thrown in your mouth. Desperately, trying to make your breath as fresh as possible in a shorter time, you slam your jaw shut, making sure to crush the pads together. Through your head you hear the chalk shatter and spill from between your teeth. As this happens, a rush of ice and snow barges through, like a blizzard. Every breath you take is colder than the last. 

  Now it's time to smell the results. Raising your cupped hands above your chin you take a deep breath and slowly blow into your hand. Once finished, you take a whiff. Similar to the metal tins unboxing, your nostrils force open again, and you may have had too many. On the other hand, It smells fresher than this morning.

     To celebrate this small victory, you twist open your bottle and take a refreshing sip of ice water.

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...
