From those who seek interest in new insights to those who build upon existing knowledge to develop newer ones, TED brings everyone together in the spirit of sparking great conversation.<br />
<br />
Likewise, SJCS upholds a commitment to excellence and service, as well as promotes qualities such as acceptance and international-mindedness, which are among the main values advocated by the IBDP. To tie in the ideals of both TED and SJCS, we, the organizers, have chosen the theme, “Uncensored: Perspectives Worth Challenging ” for the event. With this theme, we would like to bring forth new perspectives on the untouched topics, such as divorce and LGBT-Q, to our institution so to spread awareness on modern issues to the SJCS community. This activity was held last February 6, 2019, at the Father Peter Yang Hall.<br />

***For my IB CAS Requirements:<br />
My role in this event is to serve as a deputy for the steering committee. I will take part in the steering committee who will spearhead all the whole activity. The steering committee is in charge of contacting all speakers and ensuring that the event runs smoothly. Additionally, the steering committee was divided into different sub-committees for us to be able to overlook the other committees. I was tasked to be a representative in the media committee.<br />
<br />
When Mr. Villas gave the news to me that I am one of the chosen heads for this year's TEDx event, truth be told, I am really hesitant to accept the position because I know that since this is my last year as an IB student, the academic workload will really be hectic. Furthermore, there are a lot of college applications that I must accomplish and pass alongside this academic workload. I have this attitude wherein if I am the leader of something, I really want to make sure that everything will fit the standards of "Sobina." I don't want to create an event just for the sake of creating one. However, among all of my classmates, I was selected to be the leader, which is why I agreed to take on the position. Thankfully, through my perseverance, dedication, hard work, and balancing skills, I was able to manage my time carefully to balance all of the things I must do this year. I must say that achieving this is not easy. Often times, sleep must be sacrificed to pave way for group planning or to get that 7 in a test. However, since I have my priorities straight, I didn't bother these hardships, and I persevered (balance, LO2, and LO4).<br />
<br />
This event was spearheaded by me and with some of my classmates. In order to make this event as successful as possible, we planned and constantly update each other about our progress and the things that need attention. We were able to achieve this by being a communicator. Furthermore, our attitude of working collaboratively with one another allowed for the success of this event (communicator and LO3, and LO5).<br />
<br />
I might be mistaken, but I believe that the primary reason why the teachers chose me to be one of the heads is because of my experience in planning events and my ideas. Even so, these strengths of mine are not enough to prevent me from encountering difficulties. Hence, I was able to develop new skills such as time management, grace under pressure, and being calm (LO1).<br />
<br />
The topics we presented in this year's TEDx talks are taboo topics which society normally doesn't feel comfortable to talk about. These issues are not only specific to the Philippines but to the rest of the world also. Therefore, by choosing to create a talk which encourages critical thinking and empathy all over the world, we are able to show global significance, and in the process, our knowledge about these issues increased (LO6 and knowledgeable).<br />
<br />
I hope that this won't be the last TEDx event that I will organize. More so, I hope that the participants learned a lot about the taboo topics we presented, and in the process, learned how to be more accepting, not just tolerating. </div>

In line with our desire to promote astronomy to the Filipino community, the JAO will be organizing a quiz bee entitled “AstroKNOWmy: An Astronomy Quiz Show” at Saint Jude Catholic School on January 24, 2019, from 8:30 am to 4:00 pm.<br />
<br />
The nature of the questions of this competition delves more on analytical and computational skills. Hence, the usual competition questions of identification are avoided in this quiz bee because the organizers (yours truly) believes that a true measure of gauging the knowledge of its participants is through knowing the concept more than the terms. Overall, there are ten categories in this quiz bee namely: Sky, History of Astronomy, Solar System, Astronomy News, Cosmology, Stars, Galaxies, Astrophysics, Theory of Relativity, and Quantum Mechanics.<br />
<br />
The program started at around 8:30 AM. The participants were briefed first about the contest mechanics. Furthermore, warm welcomes were given to the participants from Father Emil Lim, Saint Jude's school director. The elimination round started at around 9:30 AM. The final round started at around 1:30 PM due to difficulty in checking the papers. The program closed at around 3:00 PM with a closing remark from Father Paulino Belamide, the school principal of Saint Jude.<br />
<br />
Overall, there are 11 schools who have participated namely:<br />

The goal of this competition is to spread the importance and awareness of people in the field of astronomy and physics. I, together with the organizers, are confident that we are able to achieve this goal because, after the competition, the participants and the coaches are approaching us to ask more about physics and astronomy. Ad Astra per Aspera!<br />
<br />
***This is for my IB CAS Requirements<br />
My primary role for this competition is to serve as the overall coordinator for all of the committees of this competition. Because of this, there is a need for me to constantly hold meetings to ensure that everyone is doing their tasks and to make sure that all the details are perfect and running smoothly (communicator and LO5). Not only did my task end here. Aside from the fact that I have to draft the invitational letters and contest mechanics to the different schools, I am also assigned to construct all of the questions for this quiz bee and to verify its accuracy. My integrity is greatly challenged in doing this. Honestly, some of the participants in the quiz bee are my personal friend and I know that they studied hard because I know they want to win this competition. If I am not principled, I would've leaked the questions to them, but since I am principled, I didn't and I am proud of it (principled).<br />
<br />
I honestly thought at first that organizing this competition will be easy since I have prior background experiences already when it comes to organizing competition. Little did I know that this undeniably would be the hardest event that I organized. I am confident that since I was able to send the invitational letter to different schools a month prior, a lot of schools would immediately sign up (late November 2018). However, come December 2018, and only one school signed up for the competition and my club moderator and I are really panicking already. There are a lot of questions that ran in my head like, "What if schools weren't able to receive my letters?" to "Are my organizing skills are horrible?" to "Oh I must have done something to receive such little participants." Honestly, the only thing that is keeping me from scraping this competition altogether is my integrity. I am afraid that I will lose my professionalism in my field if I would just announce that I would organize something this day and the following day I would just take my words back. Because of this, since I know that there is no turning back already, I took the risk of not scrapping this competition and I worked hard to get participants. I would constantly resend and resend letters to ensure that schools would be able to receive my letter. Because of this, we invited a total of more than 100 schools. Not only did my problems end here. Since I want the contest questions to be more analytical than identification, and the questions that I am asking are not the usual ones, I have to research a lot. Because of this, I developed more knowledge in the field of astronomy and physics. This is honestly hard to do since I have tons of IA to write. I wished I have nothing to do, but no. IB is so real this year 2. Because of my perseverance and dedication, I was able to overcome these two problems and a lot more problems which arose in this event (LO1, LO2, LO3, LO4, knowledgeable, and risk-taker)<br />
<br />
Even though I encountered a lot of problems in organizing this event, altogether, I am very happy that I pushed through this despite all of the hardships that I encountered. I can honestly say that after this event, my stress management skills are better. Furthermore, my bad attitude of having a panic attack easily was improved since during the competition, despite some problems surfacing, I was able to remain calm. Last but not the least, the very goal why I organized this event is to spread the importance and awareness of astronomy and physics to the Filipino community. I am very happy that I was able to achieve this. </div>

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">The Judenite’s Astronomical Organization (JAO), which is the first and the official astronomical community in the Saint Jude Catholic School has a primary aim of promoting the education, understanding, awareness, and interest involving astronomy among Judenites, by providing various hands-on activities, designed to pique the curiosity among its members regarding astronomy. Due to our desire to promote astronomy more to the community of Saint Jude Catholic School, the JAO organized a field trip at the Mind Museum on November 29, 2018, from 7:00 am to 5:00 pm. Mr. Russel Odi, the club moderator, is the teacher facilitator for this event.</span></div>

<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #293041; margin-bottom: 8.5px;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">***This is for my IB CAS Requirements:</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #293041; margin-bottom: 8.5px;">
As evident in my previous CAS engagements, this is not the first time that I organized an activity for my fellow schoolmates to engaged with. However, this is the first time for me to include kids in an activity that I organized. This is a big risk for me that I had overcome because due to my previous bad experiences with kids, I kind of build up this personal phobia which left me scared to interact with kids. Furthermore, I keep telling everyone that in any outdoor activities, there is always a risk associated with it since we are away from our comfort zone with is Saint Jude. Thankfully, due to the rigorous planning that my team and I had prepared, nothing bad happened in this activity (risk-taker, communicator, caring, LO3, and LO5). From time to time, we would make sure that we would update each other about the updates on our specific task for this activity. This gets to show the degree to which we are applying our communication skills for the effectiveness and success of this event, that we had organized. Even though we each one of us had our own IAs and EE to accomplish, but we were able to balance our time well to organize and participate in this event (balanced). This problem in academics is not the only problem we encountered when organizing this event. Due to the transportation problem which I was able to learn only less than a week when this activity was initially scheduled, I have to resubmit and resign a lot of letters. In order for me to do this, I really need to learn how to be patient because it's very tiresome to get an activity to be approved by the school administrators. Because of this, I was able to learn a lot of soft skills such as the best way to deal with kids (LO1, LO2, and LO4).<br />
<br />
Even though a lot of people would consider my knowledge of science as adequate already, but still, I would admit that there are still a lot of things that I don't know. In addition, I am struggling with short-term memory loss, and because of this, I constantly have to relearn a lot of things. By visiting the mind museum, I was able to gain more knowledge of science through their exhibitions. In addition, through the various interactives present in the museum, I was able to see in real life some of the scientific processes that are taking place in the theories that I am studying. The effect that this have on me is that I become more inquiring and thinker, which was able to let me gain more knowledge (<span style="font-family: times, "times new roman", serif;">knowledgeable inquirer, and thinker)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: times, "times new roman", serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: times, "times new roman", serif;">I mentioned in my CAS form 5 that the biggest take that this experience has on me is not the learning of scientific skills, but to enjoy life even though I am busy. As much as I hate to say this, but being an IB student, a lot of times, I feel like I am a robot already. Instead of doing a lot of things because I love them, I am doing it because it is a requirement and I have to pass them. Even though I know that there are really a lot of things which I have to accomplish, whether or not I like it, but still, this shouldn't be a reason for me not to be happy. I realized that I should just look at it in a positive manner because no matter how useless or irrelevant it might be, it can still give me a life lesson. </span></div>

This competition is to be done by grade level and will end with a grand battle among the winners of each grade level.<br />
<br />
Through this competition joined by the Junior High School, it aims to let the students experience joining science competitions, to promote science among the students and to bring out the potential of students in the field of science.<br />
<br />
For this CAS experience, I along with other trainers will plan the questions for the competition and at the same time facilitate the event.<br />
<br />
The date for our year-level Scientia is as follows:<br />
April 10 - Grade 10<br />
April 11 - Grade 9<br />
April 13 - Grade 8<br />
April 14 - Grade 7<br />
April 17 - Trainees (This is where I'm supposed to participate too, but due to prior commitments, I have no choice but to skip this)<br />
April 18 - Grand battle (Where all of the winners from each year level will battle against each other)<br />

<b>***For my IB CAS Requirements</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
During one of my Science competitions in UP, Mr. Russel Odi (the teacher supervising the Trainer's Guild) introduced the idea of creating Scientia jokingly. I was with my fellow Science trainees Lance Chua and Curt Bernardo at the time, and we thought, why not? Looking back, I never thought that a simple joke from our teacher can turn this competition into a reality because we are approaching the finals already, and we still have 0 plans at that time. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
My main assignment in this competition is to produce, and at the same time, verify questions in the four branches of science namely, Earth Science, Biology, Chemistry, and Physics. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Probably you will think that since I have more or less background in representing the school in different competitions in science, I will not learn any new information already when I will create the questions, but I honestly did. I learn and re-learn a lot of information in Science thanks to this competition. Honestly, I have to constantly re-think and re-ask myself all throughout the duration of planning this event whether or not what I am putting in the competition is accurate or not (knowledgeable, thinker, inquirer, and LO1). I, together with science trainees, have organized this event even though we are close to our finals already. In addition, this competition is a product of 2 weeks worth of cramming, and we achieved this feat by working collaboratively (balanced, communicator, LO2, and LO3). I honestly didn't encounter any problems in initiating this event. The only struggle that I have to face with is my constant sleepiness and laziness. Every dismissal, I have to stay in school because I just really want to go home to sleep. However, in this CAS project, I hate to stay every dismissal and what's worse is that I have to stay for more than a week. However, I persevered and I was able to attend a lot of sessions (LO4 and LO5). I know that all of the questions that we are inputting is a product of our own's thoughts (principled). </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Overall, I am very happy that we are able to push through with this event. Even though we crammed this event for only 2 weeks, but still, we are very happy because we are able to contribute to the entire school our knowledge and passion for science. Most importantly, we are able to spark the interest of my our fellow school-mates in Science and that is what matters. </div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;"> The Judenite’s Astronomical Organization (JAO), which is the first and the official astronomical community in the Saint Jude Catholic School has a primary aim of promoting the education, understanding, awareness, and interest involving astronomy to the Filipino community, by providing various hands-on activities, designed to pique the curiosity among its members regarding astronomy. Due to our desire to promote astronomy more to the Filipino community, the JAO will be organizing an event entitled, “Practical Astronomy Workshop,” which will happen on April 4, 2018, from 4:30 pm to 6:30 pm at the IB room 8. Aside from this, this event will serve as the training ground for JAO to participate in the Astronomer's Without Border's International Asteroid Search Collaboration the following year.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

OMG I SAW SOMETHING. Pictures during the third part of the event series where I am teaching the participants how to assemble a telescope with equatorial mounting. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
(For my IB CAS requirements; this includes the evidence and the reflection of the CAS experience)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Last March 2018, I looked back at the original documents where I first proposed the Judenite's Astronomical Organization to the entire school community. Suddenly, the list of activities caught my attention because I realized that there are still three remaining activities that I proposed at the start of the school year that we haven't done. This really alarmed me because, considering the fact that I am not even sure that there will still be a Judenite's Astronomical Organization the following year, I have to ensure that JAO will complete all of the activities that I proposed before the start of the school year, so that I can leave the organization that I have started peacefully.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Because of this, I decided to launch this activity in order for me to fulfill all of the activities that I have proposed at the start of the school year. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We named the workshop practical astronomy workshop because these things can be applied to our everyday lives. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Even though in order for me to prepare this event, I have to spend my personal time to prepare that everything is in place, I am still very happy about this. I feel like even though I lost a countless number of sleep hours, it is worth it because I was able to share my knowledge and personal experience in SGAC's IASC to my members. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
At the end of this activity, I was able to achieve LO1, LO2, LO3, LO4, and LO5. In addition, I was able to exhibit the traits of knowledgeable, balance, inquirer, communicator, and thinker. I know that observational astronomy is not my forte because I have short memory loss, but this activity allowed me to appreciate observational astronomy more (LO1, knowledgeable). In order for me to ensure that all of the things and information that I am disseminating to my members, I have to spend a lot of time studying and reviewing about how to assemble a telescope, how to operate Astrometrica again, and how to estimate time using the sun. Mind you this is not easy. Other people have their parents and teachers who are always there for them if they need help, but I don't. I have to learn everything on my own (LO2, LO4). I planned this CAS creativity experience together with my members at JAO, even though we have a lot of academics that we are also busy with (communicator, balanced, LO3, and LO5). </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Overall, I am very happy that I pushed through with this event even though I have many uncertainties before. When I am sharing my knowledge in Astrometrica to the participants, I got into thinking and inquiring about things in Astronomy such as what are the other functions in the software and how far can our telescope manage to see. This activity is definitely the start of me delving also into the field of observational astronomy. </div>

For at least one hour members of the astronomy community are invited to set up their telescopes in their respective locations to give people a chance to appreciate the night sky. </span><span style="background-color: white;">The Philippine Telescope Hour is held at the start of the year in promotion of the National Astronomy Week which happens every third week of February. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></span> <span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"> The Judenite's Astronomical Organization (an organization that I founded), together with the Manila Street Astronomers, and the Bedan Society of Young Astronomers celebrated the 2018 Philippine Telescope Hour on February 2, 2018, from 8 pm to 9 pm, in front of Centro Escolar University and San Beda University in Mendiola Street. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></span> <span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"> There were more than 100 participants who attended this event, and they were able to view the moon, the star Sirius, and many other more astronomical objects through a telescope. </span></span><br />

That night has been a memorable night for me.</span></span><br />

***For my IB CAS requirements:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
As compared to the other astronomy-related activities that I had planned and initiated, I can confidently say that this activity is the least stressful one. Even though this is the least stressful activity that I had organized, I also encountered a lot of problems, most especially the paperwork because our school is demanding for a lot of signatories which I have to accomplish for an event to push through. In addition, waivers have to be distributed to my members because they are all minors. However, despite these challenges, my dedication and hard work allowed me to ignore all of these hardships and push through with this event (LO2, LO3, and LO4).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I cannot really say that I am good in astronomy because this is subjective. However, I can confidently say that I love astronomy because I just know. However, I know that I am not good with manipulating telescopes. Yes, I know how to assemble basic parts of a telescope, but this doesn't automatically equate that I can just produce stunning images of our universe using a telescope. All of the things that I know are just basic. Because of this, this activity helped me to boost my knowledge in handling a telescope because I served as an usher/Marshall in this event for the telescope (LO1, and knowledgeable). I planned this event together with the Manila Street Astronomers and Bedan Society of Young Astronomers. Even though we all had different identities, but due to our friendships we are always doing collaborations (communicator, and LO5). Even though technically, this is my last CAS project in line, this doesn't mean that I don't have to work on my other things such as EE and IAs. Needless to say, I planned this event while I am under tons of academic pressure (balanced). </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I am very happy up to this day that I am given this opportunity to organize this event. I wouldn't deny that organizing events can really take up my time for studying but still, it is when I'm organizing these events for the public that I am most alive. </div>

Total lunar eclipse is an astronomical phenomenon that happens when the earth casts its shadow on the surface of the moon when it passes directly between the sun and the moon. The reason why people should really catch this total lunar eclipse is that because this total lunar eclipse is special. The total lunar eclipse visible on January 31, 2018, is a supermoon and at the same time, it is a blue moon. A supermoon is a term used to describe the moon when it appears bigger than the average full moon. A blue moon meanwhile is the term used to describe the second full moon of a calendar month. </span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></span> <span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"> Even though lunar eclipse happens more often than a solar eclipse, but still, a lunar eclipse doesn't happen frequently. Because of this, the Judenite’s Astronomical Organization (JAO, the organization that I am currently heading)and the Manila Street Astronomers (MSA) seized this opportunity to look at the total lunar eclipse this upcoming January 31 at the Sky Garden located at SM North Edsa. </span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></span> <span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"> The partial eclipse started as early as 6:50 pm, while the total lunar eclipse started at around 8:51 pm and ended at around 10:07 pm, Philippine Standard Time. The maximum eclipse, which is when the moon appears darkest, happened at around 9:30 pm. The eclipse ended at around 12:08 AM. </span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></span> <span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"> The MSA and JAO organized a free telescope viewing for the public to look at the moon during the total lunar eclipse. Overall, there were more than 1,000 people present at the event. Aside from a free telescope viewing, bands were present to give entertainment to the people, by singing songs and playing music. </span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></span> <span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"> Truly, this is one of those nights I, and the Filipino community, will never forget to witness the once in a lifetime opportunity to view a supermoon, and blue and blood moon all at one time.</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"> On behalf of JAO and MSA, from the bottom of my heart, I want to sincerely express my gratitude to all of the people present at our event. Even though there is limited number of telescopes present, but still, you guys patiently waited for your turn to look at the telescope. With this, I want to say thank you. </span></span><br />

GROUPIE. Thank you, from the JAO to yours. </div>

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></span> <span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">***For my IB CAS Requirements:</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"> </span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"> I have to be honest, but conducting a free telescope viewing during the lunar eclipse for my members at JAO is not one of the activities that I have planned for them. After all of the drama that had risen from our stargazing activity, I made a promise to myself that I will never go through all of the hassles just to give my members what they want, to the extent that I am the one who is having a hard time. However, the information that there will be a lunar eclipse at January 31, 2018, has spread too much in the Filipino community that it has been impossible for me to just keep this news from reaching them. Because of this, a lot of my members have been making incessant requests for me to conduct a free telescope viewing for them to view the lunar eclipse. </span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"> Eventually, I succumbed to their requests because they're my friends, and I can never tolerate my friends. As much as I hate to say this but I really do love all of my friends to the point that I am willing to give them what they want even though I am the one who has to work. At first, I am a bit hesitant to push through with this event with JAO members because of what happened during the stargazing activity. I mean, if I want to view the lunar eclipse, I can just easily view it since I am an MSA member myself. However, my members are not, so I have to create an event for them to let them view the eclipse. However, this time, I learned how to be more careful, and thank God nothing happened anything bad this time. Everything went smoothly according to plan. </span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"> </span></span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: times, "times new roman", serif;">It's an open secret in the astronomical community that I am most interested learning more about theoretical astronomy than observational astronomy. Because of this, up to this day, I never had the chance and interest on how to properly man a telescope. However, in this CAS project, we have to set up a lot of telescopes for the public's free telescope viewing. Because of this, I have to learn how to use telescopes for me to be with us in the event. I had extensive training with my mentor Norman Marigza in order to ensure that I am knowledgeable already on how to use a telescope and manipulate it. Not only does this ends here, I have to learn how to use the telescope while juggling up my academics from school. This is one the hardships that I was able to encounter with this event. It is the fact that in order to ensure that this event will be successful, I have to learn how to use a telescope from scratch. In order for me to learn how to use a telescope, it is not enough that I am reading telescope manuals because I need to have the actual telescope (LO1, LO2, LO4, and LO5; knowledgeable, balance, and thinker). I organized this event together with the Manila Street Astronomers and SM (LO3, and communicator). This event is celebrated not only all throughout the Philippines, but also in the entire world. By organizing this lunar eclipse viewing event, I was able to show international mindedness by uniting the Philippines to the other activities in other parts of the globe (LO5). I am going to say this, again and again, the night sky doesn't belong to a group of people only, it is for the entire humanity. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: times, "times new roman", serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: times, "times new roman", serif;"> Overall, even though I had a lot of hardships organizing this event for JAO. I am grateful and happy all throughout that I was able to bring the splendor of the night sky closer to the Filipino community once again. </span><br />

Actually, my choice was totally different making me a weird guy staring at stars in night with enormous amazement. My passion is to live for to wander in the cosmos of infinity either by theoretical or experimental side. I want to become immortal of my dreams. I want to be cosmologist and unravel the mysteries prevailing our universe. I wanna gaze at stars with high powered telescopes and study them. My dreams makes me so much weird of my surroundings that I sometimes become lost in my own thoughts of infinity. Really, I like to pursue Cosmology.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> For the past two months, I, together with the Judenite's Astronomical Organization, organized a talk entitled the “Faces of Philippine Astronomy,” wherein we will feature famous astronomers, physicists, and astrophysicists here in the Philippines, to talk about their career in their fields (LO3). The speakers for this event are Dr. Perico Esguerra, Dr. Reinabelle Reyes, Dr. Rogel Sese, Engineer Camilo Dacanay, and Professor Norman Marigza. The event happened on January 13, 2018, from 1:00 pm to 6:00 pm at the Father Peter Yang Hall of Saint Jude Catholic School. <o:p></o:p></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> Dr. Perry proceeded to talk about exo-planets and exo-moons and in the ways in which we can detect and classify an object as such. Dr. Reina tackled the existence of aliens, and their probable location here in the universe if they are alive. Dr. Rogel meanwhile gave an in-depth procedure on how we can establish the Philippines' first space agency, and how it can benefit the Philippines and the Filipino community. Engineer Dacanay discussed geologic activities and climate change which are occurring on our planet. Lastly, Professor Norman gave an inspiring talk on how we can create opportunities here in the Philippines through collaborations and communications. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> When I organized this event, at the start, I am really optimistic that everything will turn out fine since, in this event, we introduce the idea of having sponsors to cover the expenses for our event. However, as days passed by, I realize that my initial assumption that this journey will be easy is wrong since there are no companies who are willing to sponsor us. Even just a minimal amount of 1,000 pesos is a no to them. Because of this, at one point, I almost give up. But giving up is not in my dictionary so I told myself that I have to work hard. The fruits of my labor have finally turned into reality when finally, we were able to generate a sufficient fund for this event to push through (LO2 and LO4). In this CAS activity, I learned the value of hard work and not giving up. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> To sum all my feelings up, at first I am feeling hopeless that this will turn out fine since we don’t have the necessary financial support in order for this event to push through. However, due to my hard work, I was able to generate sufficient amount of money, so now I am feeling optimistic.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> Overall, I am very happy that I organized this event even though this event also took up a lot of my time and has caused me severe headaches at times. I realized that in this event, I was able to inspire a lot of Filipino youths to also be involved with the field of science. This is a mission accomplished for me.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> I was able to accomplish all of the IB learner profile and IB learning outcomes that I wished to develop through this event. I was able to develop that I am knowledgeable when I am using my knowledge of astronomy and physics to aid some speakers with their presentation (LO1). I exhibit communicator when I used my communication skills to plan this event smoothly (LO5). I am balanced since I was able to plan this event while also planning two other CAS projects. I exhibit being a risk-taker since I know from the start that planning any event is already a risk because you might not say so that everything will turn out right, but I chose to push through with this event. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

One of the<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12pt;"> mission-vision statement of the JAO is to promote the awareness and the importance of astronomy to its members. Because of this, the JAO together with the Manila Street Astronomers (MSA) conducted a stargazing for primary members of the JAO at the Big Handy’s Ground (BHG) in Tanay, Rizal, from November 15, 2017 (Wednesday) to November 16, 2017 (Thursday). </span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif;"> There were 15 of us altogether who participated in this event, 10 of which belongs to the JAO (including me), 2 are from the Philippine Astronomical Society, and the remaining 3 are from the MSA. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif;"> We went to the BHG using a bus, provided to us courtesy of the FCF tours, which is owned by Mam Susana Chua. Since BHG is a remote place not directly accessible by the public, in order for us to reach the place, we went hiking for approximately one kilometer for a duration close to five minutes. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif;"> At around 6 pm in the evening, the sun began to descend. It was really cloudy at that time and so we weren't able to see a lot of stars. After waiting for 2 hours, at around 8 pm, the sky began to clear up slowly. At exactly 12 am, the sky cleared up. We were able to see a lot of stars, star clusters, and galaxies such as the Pleiades star cluster and the Andromeda Galaxy. At around 2 am, most of the JAO members gather around to eat midnight snacks and to just talk about random things, all under the majestic view of the night sky. At 6 am, everyone is present to watch the moon rise, and at exactly 8:30 am, we already left the place to go back to Manila.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif;"> I am very happy and grateful at the same time that first of all, everyone arrived at Manila safely, and that no accidents occurred during the event. Most of all, I am grateful that even though my members aren't exactly astronomy enthusiasts, they were able to appreciate the beauty of the night sky even just for a brief moment in time. At the end of this journey, everyone is hoping that I could organize one more event for us to return to BHG to enjoy the view of the night sky once again. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"> "Finally! After a number of parents have fought with me just because of this stargazing event, finally this event is done!!!" This is the first thing that had crossed my mind when we have finally reached the grounds of the Malacanang after 12 hours of completing this event. Throughout the entire process of initiating, planning, and turning into reality this event, I have learned a lot of things, especially as to how I relate to people. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Like I've said previously, I wouldn't deny the fact that a lot of people, especially parents, have bashed this event as something being, "unsafe and unprepared," when clearly they don't know I worked so hard and I wasted a lot of my personal time just to plan this event. Honestly, it's just my vice-president Janina, the MSA and PAS people who knew how hard I worked for this since I am not very vocal about the hardships that I am facing every time I am planning any event. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
In this CAS activity, I learned a lot of new things such as how to properly interact with people (LO1 and LO3). I learned that every time someone is bashing an event that I have planned, instead of being angry or try to defend myself, I should just tolerate them even though they are wrong and I am right since fighting a parent is no good at all. In addition, this CAS activity made me realize that there will be a lot of people who would try their best to make your life harder. Before this CAS activity, I usually believe that people are good. However, in this CAS activity, I realized that there are some people who would really make my life harder and that I also realized that I should just ignore them. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Before this stargazing activity had turned into a reality, I have met and faced a lot of challenges. One of these challenges I met is the bashing of people when in fact, they have no sufficient knowledge and not enough evidence to support their opinions that this stargazing event is unsafe and unprepared. In addition, even though I am showing facts and pieces of evidence to them that this event is safe and they shouldn't worry about their security, still, some people wouldn't listen and they would continue bashing. Because of this, I learned that no matter how strong my argument is in life, sometimes in life, you still wouldn't be able to convince everyone. In the end, amidst all of this bashing, I was able to push through with this event (LO1, LO2, LO3, and LO4). This activity is a collaboration between the Manila Street Astronomers technically since we are the two organizations which had signed the memorandum of agreement. However, some other organizations such as the Philippine Astronomical Society has helped me a lot in order to plan this event smoothly. (LO5). I have talked and sought the advice of a lot of people just to make sure that everything is in place. (communicators)</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
After attending to and organizing this stargazing activity, my knowledge in observational astronomy has increased a lot (knowledgeable). I can now identify some basic star clusters and stars in the sky. Even though I know that the BHG is a relatively remote place in the mountains where there is no cell signal, food, clean drinking water, and with these said, everything can just go wrong in this place, I decided to push through with this place since I know that there is no night pollution in this place (risk-taker). Likewise, Tanay is a place where there are a relatively large amount of accidents happening, but I still decided to go with this place (risk-taker). I have planned this event for over a month, where all of the quizzes and assignments that teachers are giving me keep pouring in. But still, I was able to organize this event successfully (balanced). Throughout this journey of organizing this event, I was able to learn more about myself and how I relate to other people. Likewise, a lot of times during the course of this event, my dignity and integrity as a leader have been challenged. This stargazing event had given me a platform to think and to reflect on my attitude as a leader which is the reason why I know that I am now a better person and a better leader too (reflective). </div>

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">There are a lot of Near Earth Asteroid (NEO) in space that is threatening to collide with Planet Earth and is threatening to drive our species into extinction. Because of this, astronomers have been working really hard to monitor a lot of potentially hazardous asteroids that have a chance of colliding with Earth. However, the NEO is just too many for astronomers to track and monitor considering that there are still a lot of unnamed and undiscovered asteroids in space. Because of this, astronomers have opened a program for people who don't have a degree in science to have the chance to participate in the things that they are doing such as looking and tracking of asteroids, through becoming citizen scientists.</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 8.5px;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">I decided that this year 2017, I want to become a citizen scientist under the Space Generation Advisory Council (SGAC), which is a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting astronomy and space law to the public, through their annual program which is the International Search Asteroid Campaign (ISAC). I am teamed with 3 other Filipino amateur astronomers namely, Rheanne Jimeno, Erika Valdueza, and Arvin Tan. For 4 weeks, we have to look for asteroids provided to us by data coming from the Pan-STARRS telescope, using a special computer software known as the Astrometrica. </span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 8.5px;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Eventually, if we would be able to discoverer an asteroid in space, it will be named after us.</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 8.5px;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">At the end of this month-long journey, we were able to achieve a total of 26 preliminary asteroid discoveries. </span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 8.5px;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Looking back on this journey, I never thought that I would really make it this far. I remember those days wherein I am sleeping just an hour per day just to master the use of Astrometrica so I could be able to discover a lot of asteroids. However, I never regretted this. Even though I am just barely getting enough sleep back then. I wouldn't trade this journey to sleep. I really do hope that in the future, I could have the opportunity to participate in this annual asteroid search campaign again. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">For my IB CAS Requirements: </span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 8.5px;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">The IB Learning Outcomes that I have achieved after I am finished with this campaign are LO1, LO2, LO3, LO4, LO5, and LO6. Yes, I know that I have been studying astronomy for quite some time now, but I always know that when it comes to observational astronomy, I'm really having a hard time studying this branch of astronomy. Because of this, I decided to participate in this asteroid search campaign because I know and I believe that the best way to learn science is when I would be able to apply the principles that I have learned in the books in real life. (LO3). After I have participated in this campaign, my knowledge in observational astronomy became broader. I was able to know and look for asteroids in space first hand. I was also able to identify a few stars already. (LO1 and LO2). Not only is this the problem that I have encountered on this journey. From the beginning of this campaign, I never really learned how to use the Astrometrica software. It took me almost a week of hard work just for me to get the hang of how to use the software accurately. (LO2). It's really hard learning Astrometrica. A day really wouldn't suffice for me nor for anybody to be able to grasp and master the arts and crafts of learning it. Because of this, I worked so hard under the scrutiny of my team leader Sir Arvin to master it. It took me almost a week before I was able to master it all completely. I persevered all throughout this journey, and even though I have a hard time knowing Astrometrica, this never hinder me from completing this journey. (LO4 and LO5) Lastly, by participating in this global campaign, I was able to show global engagement because I am working with various international groups and personalities such as the International Asteroid Search Campaign and Dr. Miller. (LO6)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">After participating in this campaign, I have learned a lot of new things such as how to identify an asteroid in space (knowledgeable). My critical reasoning also increased significantly since I should be able to discern if the asteroid that I am looking at is really an asteroid or just a free-floating body in space (Thinker). Likewise, I was able to enhance my communication skills when I was given the chance to communicate directly with our team leader and to my teammates to discuss the data that we had (communicators). I know that everything that I am doing and all of the preliminary discoveries that I was able to achieve was all based on my efforts and that, I didn't cheat my way to the top (Principled). During this month-long campaign, I am also participating in various international competitions and I have a heavy workload from my International Baccalaureate lessons. However, I was still able to manage to participate in this campaign (Balanced). Lastly, I know from the start when I signed up for this campaign that there is no backing out and that the workload in this campaign is heavy. However, I chose to participate still in this campaign despite the fact that I know that there will be no assurance that I would have enough time for me to balance everything in my head, considering the fact that 1 month is such a long period of time. (Risk- Taker) </span><br />

Once again, thank you so much to everyone who had participated. Without you, this wouldn't be a reality."</span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #293041;"><br /></span></span> In celebration of the World Space Week 2017, the Bedan Society of Young Astronomers (BSYA), a senior high school organization of San Beda Manila, in collaboration with the Judenite’s Astronomical Organization (JAO), a senior high school and International Baccalaureate Diploma Program (IBDP) organization of Saint Jude Catholic School, hosted a Space Quiz Friendly Competition which is aimed at Senior High School Students based on themes around space science and astronomy, with a special emphasis on space exploration. The culminating activity for this event is a free telescope viewing, courtesy of the Manila Street Astronomer (MSA).<br />
<br />
The objective of the competition is to contribute to the improvement of awareness, interest, understanding, and insight into the space sciences and basic astronomy; and to celebrate the participation of different senior high schools in World Space Week so as to foster the interest of career opportunities in astronomy and space sciences.<br />
<br />
The competition which was held at 8:00 A.M.-2:00 P.M. on October 7, 2017, Saturday at the Abbot Lopez Hall of San Beda Manila.<br />
<br />
This competition, in which we thoroughly planned for over 2 months was a huge success. Aside from the fact that there were more than 10 schools present at the said event, the World Space Week 2017 was also able to recognize this event officially.<br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="background-color: white;">So how does it feels like to organize your own space quiz? Honestly, I feel like, after this event, I became the master crammer of this planet. Me and Achie Angelica Tang were just actually cramming everything, from the time we were sending out the letters to the school up until we were printing out the certificates to the schools, that's why we are surprised that our space quiz yesterday was a huge success, and I got a lot of positive feedback from my friends.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></span>
<br />
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">I have been participating annually in two of the only astronomy competitions in this country. As a person who is very much fond with the stars, I often feel like 2 competitions in astronomy wouldn't suffice to encourage teens and students like me to be involved more in the field of astronomy. Because of this, it has crossed my mind a lot of times what if I would get a chance to organize my own space quiz? Will it help promote astronomy to the public? But the thing that has really crossed my mind is, will it help me give a platform for me to inspire more teenagers out there to be involved in the field of astronomy? Before these are only questions in my brain, but now I have answers already. </span></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">This academic year, I was given the chance to organize my own organization in Saint Jude Catholic School. I chose to establish an organization which is focusing on astronomy, which I afterward named as the Judenite’s Astronomical Organization. This organization paved way for me to be connected to other astronomy clubs in the Philippines such as the Bedan Society of Young Astronomers (BSYA), which is the official astronomical organization of San Beda College.</span><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">I was given the chance to meet in person the founding fathers of the BSYA, which are Ms. Angelica Tang and Mr. Jun Cajical. In our meeting we realized that we actually share the same vision that is, we want to create our own space quiz. We quickly decided that now is the right time to organize our own space quiz because this is the first and last year of the existence of the Judenite’s Astronomical Organization, which basically means that this is now or never.</span></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></span><span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">At first, I really thought that organizing my own space quiz will just be a piece of cake. I mean sure, I just have to write letters after letters about the entire mundane description of the competition and its set of mechanics, send out the letters to the school, and just sit back and wait for them to reply. However, I am wrong, totally wrong. I realized that I underestimated the difficulty that I should undergo before I even started.</span></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></span><span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">The first difficulty I encounter is the writing of the letters. I always thought that I know how to write a letter. However, it was only until I’m writing the letter of invitation to the school did I realize that I really don’t know how to write a letter. Aside from the fact that I know what to write on my body, I don’t know anything else. I don’t know what I’m supposed to put in my header. Eventually, with the proper guidance of my literature teacher, Mrs. Reyna, I was able to learn how to write a letter. Not only is this my problem. After 15 days when we are done disseminating 33 letters to various schools, only 3 schools have responded. Because of this, I became so alarmed to the point that I phoned each school just to follow up. I realized that even though I entrusted my letters to a remarkable courier service here in the Philippines, the schools weren’t able to receive my letter at all. Because of this, I have to send a new email to the schools, which added to my workload. Likewise, due to my numerous experience in joining quiz bees, I am the one entrusted to compose the questions for the competition. During the time when I am creating the questions, it is our midterms season in IB already. Because of this, I have to cram the questions in every single free period that I have.</span><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">By organizing this quiz bee, I learned a lot of lessons in life that I can never learn within the confines of the classroom. First of all, I learned which things that I am good with, and I was able to use these to help plan the space quiz. For example, I know that am very sociable, so for this space quiz, I am the one directly communicating with the different schools for faster communication. Likewise, I learned new skills by overcoming some of the challenges that I have faced. In this space quiz, I learned the value of patience. I realized that there is no such thing as overnight success and that I should work hard to achieve something. For example, I learned the value of patience by learning how to properly write a letter. In addition, I learned how to initiate an experience by organizing this space quiz. Furthermore, I was able to show commitments to push through with this space quiz despite the many hardships that I have faced. Likewise, I didn’t do this space quiz alone. I did this together with the Bedan Society of Young Astronomers. I was able to learn the value of teamwork in effectively planning something. Lastly, I was able to engage in global movements because first and foremost, we created this event in celebration of the World Space Week, which is an international organization, sponsored by the United Nations, to promote the importance of astronomy to the public.</span></span></div>

My name is Iram Farooq. I'm 17 years old. I'm from Faisalabad, a city in Pakistan. I'm a aspiring astronaut for NASA. I love astronomy since I was 6 years old. When I was 6 years old, I ask others different questions about sky, moon and stars. When I was 7 years old I came to know about space life. I were searching someone who listen to me and give me answers. Due to interesting answers, my interest in astronomy became my passion and I started to learn about space life at the age of 8 years. But due to lack of support and facilities about astronomy in Pakistan, I did not find answers of my some questions. In 2012, when I were a school student, I read a story book from school library. The name of the book was "Azeem Sciencedaan". This was a very interesting scientist's life and their work story book. After reading book, I became more interested in astronomy and life in space. </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">During my school study i read a quote 'Imagination is more important than knowledge' I love this quote and then I started to imagine the space. Always at night I look up at the sky and see stars for a long time and imagine the space. I searched about that quote and know that the author of the quote is Albert Einstien. Then I read more quotes of Einstein from internet and followed them. </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">I dreamed a lot about space. In my one dream I saw myself on moon with some other people. The amazing thing was that there was a colony on moon. But the reality is opposite. But my this dream moves towards mars. Now I'm a aspiring Mars girl Astronaut. But if i get a chance to land on moon then is enough. Because my goal is towards Mars and Moon as well. I studied hard at school, mostly in science subjects. In 2016, in my intermediate level part 1 final examination I got 87.3% marks. Good thing is that i got 142/150 marks in maths and 143/150 marks in physics because these are my favourite subjects, important for aspiring astronauts as well. </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">I love flying. Therefore I decided to become an aerospace engineer as a starting career for astronaut, and wanna flying a helicopter. In 2017, because I got good marks in science and I love science so i choose science subjects as a pre-engineering student. Daily I search about space life, ISS and NASA Astronaut requirements.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">People told me that not to become an astronaut because they thought that it's difficult and impossible for me, and I can't do it. But I did not believe them.

Which happens to be the town right next to where Neil Armstrong was raised. I have dreamed to be an astronaut since I was 8 or 9 years old, telling my dad that one day I will go to the Moon. But that changed about two years ago, when I got the sudden urge to be the first man to set foot on Mars. </span><br />
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
In Highschool I have a GPA of 2.9, and a B average for my 3 years in Highschool. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
<br /></div>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">I had since developed a plan, to get to Mars by the 2030s. My plan will start by me graduating Highschool and getting at least 23s on the A.C.T tests. I will also join the US Navy after Highschool, with the 23s on my ACT. I will then be able to get a $180,000 scholarship to Ohio State University, from the US Navy. With almost free college from the Navy, I will serve a total of eight years on active duty. My first four years, I will get a bachelors degree in Physical Science. The next four years, I will get a bachelors degree in Computer Science. While in the US Navy I will also join the NROTC to further education and become a Pilot in Command, where I will be able to get my 1000+ hours of piloting a jet aircraft. </span><br />
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
After eight years, I will then apply to NASA through the US Navy. That's where the training will comence. In my free time, I will attempt to go to every NASA facility in the US. I have also been correcting my vision naturally, by eating healthy. I figured I get myself noticed by going on Twitter and start my follower base now. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
Going to Mars isn't a race, whoever gets there first, made an achievement for all of man kind. If I am not the first, I will still be satisfied with what I have by then. I hope and wish everyone good luck, to all who wish to do the same as me. </div>

<br />
<div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
My name is Dustin. I'm not sure if this qualifies or even close but I am currently a physics associates major on a transfer program that will take me Florida Institute of Technology where I plan to major in Astrophysics, Astronomy, and Astrobiology. I am a bit of a late bloomer when it comes to school and finally found my passion for Astronomy and the space industry in general. I would always obsessively watch the science channel, NAT Geo, or anything that covered the cosmos or space related materials. I realized I loved astronomy, the cosmos, and science in general. So, early 2016 I put in for a pell grant, and have been in school full time ever since. </div>
<div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
<br /></div>
<div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
I've felt fortunate and grateful to be able to go back to school. I do not intend to squander my opportunities. I come from a not so ideal background. There was a lot of addiction in my background and a lot of overcoming trials. I don't know why I felt compelled to reply to this but I thought that maybe there are other people out there that hit their mid 30's without direction, and decided to pursue a career in S.T.E.M., decided that they were good enough to contribute to science, and live an amazing and productive life. I will be over 40 years old by the time I finish school. I may end up at an observatory, a lab, or Mars if Elon Musk has his way. Wherever I end up working I intend to apply for Astronaut school. If I get in, great, if not, that's great too, because I'll be doing something that I love. Thank you.</div>

I am a 16 year old High School student from America. I first became interested in outer space at a young age, I have always loved looking up at the stars and wondering what is out there. My interest started to peak in Middle School and my pursuit for knowledge about the cosmos and my love for astronomy and astrobiology made me make up my mind right away about my future career. I wanted to be an astronaut. As a child I always fantasized about being among the stars, exploring the final frontier, but I never thought I would ever try hard to pursue this career.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222;" /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">I love science, specifically Biology, and when I learned of experiments on the ISS involving growing plants and seeing how life forms reacted to the space environment intrigued me. I wanted to do exactly what they were doing. I wanted to go to space but keep the aspects of Biology that I had always loved. I have researched a lot since then on the job subject.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222;" /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">I want to become an astronaut more than anything, it's my dream job. But I also have doubts when it comes to it. People laugh when I tell them what I want as a career saying it's impossible, or people don't believe me when I say I am into astronomy, and astrobiology because of the way I look (colored hair, piercings, clothing style etc.). I'm also not the smartest person in the world, but I am trying hard to learn more every day. Even if I have doubts I need to push forward to achieve my greatest dreams, I just need to keep telling myself that I can do it, I WILL get into space. You just need to believe and work hard enough and you can achieve anything.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222;" /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Right now I am in search of space/astronomy courses or classes to take, and even possible scholarships. NASA and other space camps or courses are something I would love to do too!</span>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00500215211637578643noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-548387040933646510.post-61219510584714831862016-05-22T07:16:00.004-07:002016-05-22T07:18:49.525-07:00Engineer Darrin Taylor InspirationEngineer Darrin Taylor is an engineer who has always liked space and looking at the stars but is not an astronaut or astronomer.

<div>
<a name='more'></a><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">My inspiration to help enable astronauts get to Mars came from a maker who built a computer from simple logic chips and the art of building what is fun to build. As an engineer I was thinking about how to build a primative computer that could be manufactured on Mars. This computer would trade speed for simplicity and would only be fast enough to be attractive on Mars or a planet in a different solar system. Because of this the act of designing it was more an expression of art than engineering which usually deals with doing the things others will pay you for.</span><br />
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
My design relies on the speed of light that is 300000000 m/s (300000 km/s). If two computers are 30000 meters (30km) apart then a radio message from one to the other takes 1/10000 of a second (0.1 milli-seconds). This delay can be used as computer memory, the computer can remember for 0.1 milli-seconds each way.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
Now if the computer could operate at 1000000000 (1 ghz ) operations per second there would be enough time in that 0.1 milliseconds to store 10000 bits of information. On new planets there is no one else using the radio waves so I could use all of the radio waves for this computer. This allows multiple signals and multiple delays each able to hold 10000 bits of information each way. Radio transmitters can be built to operate over many ghz of bandwidth allowing 32 copies of this delay to be possible 16 to go and 16 to return.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
Now that the computer has 20000 sixteen bit words of memory how can the computer be simplified? The answer is that all the normal functions of the computer get folded into the memory. The computer only needs to move data from one location in memory to another, do very simple 1 bit logic and 1 bit math and jump to new addresses when needed. Because the data is stored least significant bit first and fed in one bit at a time it's possible to use a simple 1 bit adder with carry to do addition or subtraction on large numbers using only 5 logic gates. This is possible because the carry needs to be added to the next bit which is shifted in the next cycle. Addition takes 16 cycles but only 6 gates. Logic operations work the same way and take 16 cycles. Normally computers take 1 cycle but have millions of gates compared to hundreds for this computer.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
Because the computer can be designed to take such a very small number of gates it doesn't need to be build using silicon. Silicon is better than vacuum tubes on earth but in space it's much easier to build a vacuum tube factory than a silicon computer factory.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
<br /></div>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">Thinking about that computer led me to want to learn about how thrust works in space so I could build the computer on Mars. There is a law in physics that says if you push something it always pushes you back based on its mass and velocity. If you throw a rock you are heavy (mass) and it is light so it's hard to feel it push back. But if you try and push the earth it is massive and you are light so you move and the earth moves very little in comparison.</span><br />
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
<br /></div>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">This law is called conservation of momentum and it says that velocity times mass of you equals the velocity times mass of the stone or earth. </span><br />
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
In space, NASA uses rocket fuel that throws itself using chemical energy as it burns. The opposite push from the fuel pushes the spaceship. NASA has to carry all the fuel and they always thought they wanted to throw the fuel as fast as possible so that less fuel is needed. A spacecraft that is 1 ton needs 29.67 tons of fuel to make a round trip to Mars if it is going fast enough for human passengers to survive the space radiation (310 seconds specific impulse was used to calculate the fuel needed). So NASA wanting to reduce fuel is understandable.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
But there is another law called the conservation of energy. This law says when you throw a rock the energy needed is mass times velocity times velocity divided by two. This means if NASA tries to throw the fuel faster it will take more energy. If they throw 2 times faster it takes 2*2=4 times the energy, 10 times faster 100 times the energy etc. This is why ion propulsion takes so long to speed up, it's lack of enough energy that is limiting it.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
I thought about magnetism as a kind of thrust. The sun, Jupiter and earth are magnets and turning an electro magnet on and off in outer space allows you to pull the earth or sun. Like pulling someone on a swing only when they are comming towards you this can be used as thrust. Because the earth is heavy compared to your spaceship it hardly changes speed at all from your pull and the energy used is very small.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
<br /></div>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">Now imagine this magnetic powered spaceship is called a brick. We could build lots of bricks and put them in space. Now imagine a different spaceship that is large compared to the brick. This spaceship uses the bricks as its fuel. This spaceship throws the bricks at a slower speed than NASA has been throwing their rocket fuel. </span><br />
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
So lots of bricks are needed but the bricks don't need to be carried because they can navigate to where they are needed. So the spaceship is lighter and needs less thrust. Imagine if you needed to carry all the water you need for a month versus using a drinking fountain when you are thirsty. If you had to do that you would get hot and sweaty and need more water for a month and it would limit how far you can walk. NASA has the same problem because they need to carry all their fuel from earth.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
But "bricks" carry themselves so there is a large efficiency gain. But the best part is after being thrown "bricks" can collect themselves and the large spaceship can reload each time it passes by a brick reloading station. Previously NASA only got to use fuel one time but using bricks as fuel can be used over and over.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
The computer idea was fun but probably will never be built. A lot of engineering is art just for fun. It's making the world the way you want it made in your mind. But the idea of re-using fuel will one day send astronauts to Mars and back over and over again without needing new fuel. Instead of magnetism it will use a solar sail but when I first thought it I was thinking about pushing the earth and two laws of physics.</div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;"> Even though the Cosmic Wonderer just
started our last March, I am more than delighted to announce that we already
formed a partnership with Landsend Astronomers! <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;"> Our partnership is bonded by the stars
simply because we share the same goal of promoting astronomy. The Landsend
Astronomers are a not-for-personal-profit unincorporated association that is providing
astronomy services in the far West of Cornwall and across the UK and the best
part, they are currently going through the process of becoming a small charity. Isn’t
this amazing? That a nonprofit organization is working towards the advancement
of education in astronomy and space sciences without asking for money in
return! They are the perfect epitome of what an organization in the name of the
stars standby which is, sharing the night sky to everyone. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;"> You could benefit from our partnership
with the Landsend Astronomers because we share the same vision that is – to share
the grandeur of the night sky to everyone. Remember, we only have one sky and
it is for all of us to enjoy and partake in. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif;"> Quite recently, we decided to change our
cover picture and replace it with the image of the Milky Way with contract to
the previous one showing the four Very Large Telescopes at the Paranal
Observatory. To not cause any stir about it, I will provide an explanation
about it.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif;"> I know that before I even announced the
existence of the organization I’ve started, I’ve already laid down the mission
and vision statements alongside with it. However, as days went by, I realized
that I forgot a very significant thing that will sum up everything that I’ve
wanted my organization to achieve. It is no other than a motto. Other people
might view having a motto as insubstantial or unnecessary, but in my opinion,
this is essential for people to remember us easier and more effectively. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif;"> The motto of The Cosmic Wonderer is as
follows:<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif;"> “Helping teens reach for their stars by
filling the cosmos of their stories.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif;"> I decided to use the milky way as the header because all along, we belong here - the milky way - the cosmic road. And all of our stories will be witnessed by the stars that belonged here. </span></div>

European Space Agency's (ESA) Astronaut Tim Peake deployed the Philippine's first ever micro satellite - Diwata-1 - into orbit around Earth from the International Space Station, carrying with it the dream of the entire nation to be a space capable nation.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Diwata-1 first made noise around the social media last month when it was launched aboard the Falcon 9 rocket into the International Space Station. However, it was only yesterday when it is finally deployed from the ISS to orbit around the Earth. The goal of the satellite is to monitor the areas devastated by climate change, thus potentially saving thousands of life. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Diwata means "Fairy" in English and is first constructed way back in 2014, under the Department of Science and Technology (DOST). It is a joint collaboration between the University of the Philippines, Tohoku University, and Hokkaido University.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The launching and deployment of the Diwata-1 satellite paved way for the Philippines to establish a National Space Agency which will be the doorstep to permanent space program that would benefit the entire country. </div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">I first encountered an astronaut in 5th grade when I met Sally Ride, the first American woman in space, and her inspiring story hooked me. Then I met Buzz Aldrin at a space festival. Both stories were incredible enough to make me wonder a bit more about space. Those two fateful encounters somehow made me realize something about space, and it was something I would never forget.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 2.4; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-right: -13.5pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;">

I chose space. We were given containers with books and magazines on our subjects, and each were told to make a PowerPoint presentation on the information we got from our containers. We also collected some of it off of the internet. My presentation was the longest, and more likely than not, the most boring. But out of all that, I became convinced I wanted to be an Astronaut! Over the summer, I did a lot of research on space and the possibility of going to Mars. This research was a way to see how much I wanted to learn. It also had me a tad bit more interested in space than ever before. I was sure this would be temporary, but my “Space Odyssey” didn’t end in 5th grade.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 2.4; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;">

I decide to ask me teacher to see if I could teach, and do a lesson on space, and my idea was accepted. This prompted me to realize how uninformed people were about space. It also showed me that I had acquired a lot of information over the years. Then, our teacher had us make a documentary on a sub-topic of space. My group and I chose space travel, and narrowed it down to one particular topic of space travel: Propulsion Systems. But we went even farther and narrowed it down to Franklin Chang-Diaz’s VASIMR (</span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 700; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">V</span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">ariable </span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 700; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">S</span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">pecif</span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 700; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">I</span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">c </span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 700; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">M</span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">agnetoplasma </span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 700; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">R</span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">ocket), and decided to focus on it, and the information we had. This narrowing down of topics had a few meanings to it, one of which was that I had interested others in space by teaching them. It also meant that I found the best team, and that I would be a good leader. We were also told to get in contact with someone who might know more than we did. I contacted my friend, an engineering professor at SDSU, and got no more from him than we knew. We almost lost all hope. </span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 2.4; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;">

By the time NASA contacted me, Mr. Sumrall had taken the initiative to call me before NASA officially gave me his phone number. Him contacting me was something I felt was leading me in the right direction. His contact was also another fateful encounter and showed me that meeting renowned people was going to be necessary for my dream in the making. It also showed to others that I was capable of getting into contact with “big guns,” and ideally a completing my dream. A little while later, I recorded an interview with him over the phone, and constructed my documentary using his information and ours. After all of this, my astronaut dream was just getting bigger and better. But it didn’t end there, and for 2 years, my goal had absolutely no advancement, until Christmas 2012.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 2.4; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;">

On Christmas morning, I opened a package that contained a Space Camp shirt, a schedule departing from San Diego heading to Huntsville, Alabama. Space Camp is located in Huntsville, and it was also where Phil Sumrall worked, and where all of the rocket parts, plane parts, and other aeronautical vehicles were designed and tested. This was a dream come true, and it taught me that my dream should not be that, but be reality. At the end of Space Camp, Mr. Sumrall picked me up and granted me access to Redstone Arsenal, where he and Wernher von Braun worked. It was also there that my dream ended and became more than a dream, it became reality. I was also able to see that being an astronaut is a hard, demanding job, that takes a toll on your body.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif;"> When did my journey to the stars begin? I
don’t know, nor am I cognizant of where or how did it exactly happen. It’s
exactly the same way that from one minute to another I shifted from one parallel
universe to another, bringing nothing but my thirst for more knowledge
regarding astronomy. I don’t know whether I should be grateful of this
transition because believe me when I say that my life is harder this time when I
am trying to elucidate and give explanation to the various enigmas of the
universe than my pretty straightforward life before where I am just singing to
the beat of the music until dawn breaks its way through the darkness and I will
finally succumb to sleep. Even though my life before I ventured the intriguing world
of astronomy was way uncomplicated, I never regretted anything about this. Will
I ever been given the chance to return to my previous world where I am
passionate about music, I will never do it. Going after music is easier and
could let me earn a lot more money than pursuing astronomy, but I chose to go
after the road less taken because astronomy is more fulfilling and it is my
real passion, which is something that is undeniable.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif;"> Since I have no vestige knowledge of how
my passion for astronomy came to existence, I’ll just probably reminisce the
day when I first saw the wonders of astronomy came to play right before my
eyes. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif;"> I remember that day lucidly. It is that
documentation about the universe in Discovery Channel that had captivated my
eyes for astronomy when they showed the diverse aspects of astronomy such as
the way galaxies interact with one another which produced the most eccentric objects
in the universe from the bizarre looking galaxy directly translated by the
world renowned Disney character tinker bell and the rose shaped galaxy Arp 273,
some peculiar asteroids containing worlds of their own which seem to deny the
laws of nature by having their own moon like Ida and its moon Dactyl, and the
most phenomenal thing? I finally have a glimpse of the universe even though the
land I am stepping at is separated with space by thousands of kilometers. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif;"> Truth be told, I love astronomy not
because of these jewels but of a greater course. The mysteries of astronomy are
just so baffling to the point that it left me breathless waiting for more. In astronomy,
there are more questions than answers that gradually, all of the queries I have
accumulated at the back of my mind detonated which paves way for me to seek
answers on my own. However, I am mistaken, because the more I learned about the
universe the more everything seems to be inexplicable. I perceptibly grasped
the concept that astronomy has always and will always be a mystery. I mean if
we could fancily explain the nature of dark matter and dark energy why is there
still a reason for astronomy to exist? Even though most people will just stay
on stargazing and astrophotography, most of the instance, questions are
surfacing that we have no conscious knowledge of. So I decided that it’s about
time for me to probe in the world of astronomy so that my questions in
astronomy will finally have an explanations.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif;"> As you probably know, my heart didn’t
belong to astronomy first. I am a musician and so is my family. My father
finished his degree in engineering from the top university here in the Philippines
and can speak in eloquent Chinese. I followed the footsteps of my parents in
music because mainly, I don’t want to be a disgrace to my family not because I am
passionately inclined to it. The result is, it didn’t end well. During that
time, I am just like the solitary proof of a living ghost, those who drifts around
without knowing where to go next and those who doesn’t know their purpose in
there. Eventually, I grew tired of my life that I decided it’s time for me to
change so I told my parents about it. My parents weren’t thrilled with the fact
that I decided to quit music for nothing. I understand them, with the way on
how they gauge their reaction because of course they are a musician and for
them, music is everything but unfortunately, that is not the case for everyone.
We all have our own separate lives, and your purpose in life doesn’t necessarily mean it's someone else’s purpose. My revelation resulted in a long lasting feud
between me and my parents although it became less severe as the passing days. Since
I know that my family will not be cooperative of my journey towards astronomy, I
resolved to walk on the road less taken and here am I right now – striving my
best to motivate other aspiring astronauts and astronomers like me to never
give up on their dreams, no matter how impossible it might be. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif;"> I first started my journey to the stars on
my training ground – my institution. I strive to achieve a really exceptional
grades in science, math, and English so that I could join off campus
competitions in science which could give a colossal boost to my career in
astronomy in the future. Hard works do payed off because after some time, I managed
to get a gold medal in a science competition for our batch in a science quiz
bee. This is just the start of it.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif;"> I realized that joining in science quiz bees and sweeping gold medals are not enough for me to be an astronaut in the future so I decided now to join local amateur astronomy groups in my community. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif;"> I first incorporated myself with the "Astronomical League of the Philippines," wherein at the age of 13, I managed to be the first amateur astronomer accepted ever since in their history which immediately grant me an appreciable fame on the astronomical communities in the Philippines. In ALP, we focus more on the practical side of astronomy such as the telescope operations and astrophotographies that is why I was able to know the positioning of the basic planets and I was able to name a few stars on the night sky. </span></div>

Albeit I didn't earn my way to emerge as the Champion, I am a finalist (top 8) of the said competition which I am wholeheartedly grateful for already.

When I've initially joined the Twitter community, what I immediately realize is that I am not the only aspiring astronauts/astronomers in the world. I am 15 years old now when I decided to create an organization which supports and promotes aspiring astronauts and astronomers nationwide by sharing their stories and the product is no other than the Cosmic Wonderer and you are currently at the official website of the said organization if ever you are reading this.<br />
<br />
I joined the Mars Generation to be a Student Space Ambassador only these past couple of days in which we are building a stronger tomorrow by exciting our youth today about STEM and space.<br />
<br />
Looking back at the days when I've first started out my career in astronomy, I am bewildered that for once, I was able to achieve something significant even though it is just minuscule. Every time I'm thinking of my achievements, it is not the number of medals that is usually giving me an atmosphere of complacence and tranquil but it is the fact that I am able to inspire other kids in my community to go after their dreams no matter how insurmountable it might seem.<br />
<br />
Dawn is about to settle in and the moon is making its final descent across the sky. As I view this choreographic movements of the cosmos, I lay pondering below the dim glow of the moonlight why or how I even came not to only love, but to be able to live the life of studying astronomy. I am now enlightened that everyone is innately ardent in astronomy because it is instilled in us the moment we came into existence because we are made up of star stuffs. The reason why other people ended up having a life outside of astronomy is that star stuffs will manifest its image in a lot of ways and most often or not, human desires will overcome the unconscious side of the universe. However, I am not totally convinced of this revelation.<br />
<br />
I love astronomy because I just love it. If you really love someone you will not ask "why" or demand reasons why is that so in the very first place. The day we realize that we truly love something or someone, we will acknowledge that words are not capable of explaining such feelings so complex that even though thousands of passages are written about it nothing will ever came across to explaining the right context about it.<br />
<br />
If I am to disclose the reasons why I love astronomy, maybe it's the fact that I learned how to be contented because I learned that the even though the day will come that everything about me will dissipate, the stars will be there - still - to witness my life and death so I am not totally unattended. Likewise, Astronomy has taught me a lot of life lessons which include to be humble all of the time because as much as we want too, we will never be capable of reaching the stars physically. In addition, Astronomy has always intrigue my curiosity in a way no other fields of study is capable of and what is the meaning of life but not to wonder and wander which is two simultaneously different things. With this, I labeled my personal journey to the stars as the "Starry Road" because I know that I will be always guided by the stars along the way.<br />

The radiation from the young stars excites the atoms in the nebula, causing them to emit radiation themselves producing the emission nebula we see. The mass of the nebula is estimated to be around 10,000 solar masses.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px;">It is believed that stellar winds from a group of O and B stars are exerting pressure on interstellar clouds to cause compression, followed by star formation in the nebula. This star formation is currently still ongoing.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px;">A survey of the nebula with the Chandra X-ray Observatory in 2001 has revealed the presence of very hot, young stars at the core of the Rosette Nebula. These stars have heated the surrounding gas to a temperature in the order of 6 million kelvins causing them to emit copious amounts of X-rays.</span><br />

<div>
Hello, my name is Sagarika Chikhale. I am 20yo Aspiring Astronaut from India. When i introduce this to someone or someone ask about me,they react with big eyeball asking how someone like me have an interest in such a boring stream and i don't know why they think like that.Here i am saying today that Aerospace Industry is only amazing field having number of opportunities,not only this,this is addiction if you following this through internet,media and by mistake if someone ask you about space you will definitely not gonna leave him/her until you get satisfied with your discussion.<br /></div>
It's really amazing when you are part of this.One question arises here why i love night sky,rockets,stars,satellites,<wbr></wbr>etc. Well,since when i was in 6th standard i can remember looking up at night sky, i wonder what the stars where made of but most of all i dreamed to someday going there, only i knew that it would happen i would go to space.<br /></div>
This all come from when i was in 6th standard we had a chapter and name was 'An Indian-American Woman In Space', she was Astronaut Kalpana Chawla,1st Indian Woman Astronaut.That time i was thinking by looking her picture in textbook, What she is she wearing like orange suit and was sitting with helmet and i thought biker instead of Astronaut.That was the first time i ever heard of Astronaut. When my teacher said story of her my whole life was changed.I have spend weeks for the searching of astronomy.Initially i had no sources to more understand space.I used newspaper cuttings to raise my knowledge.Along the way i realized that the journey that i traveled and those experiences was so important to me.<br /></div>

As we all know Abigail Harrison,famous teenage Aspiring Astronaut she said 'Space is looking for people who are passionate about what they do,not for those who think they are fit for this job' and i agree with her statement.<br /><br />Through my journey i met two honorable person, Astronaut Story Musgrave from NASA and Lluis Gesa from European Space Agency(ESA). Astronaut Musgrave taught me one thing, do what you loved to do and if you really want to do it, just do it and Lluis Gesa showed me to chase your passion. Lluis inspired me to do things to inspire someone else about their dreams,the way he had that.<br /></div>

Firstly,you have your own ambition your dreams-Astronaut,Doctor,<wbr></wbr>Scientist whatever it may be and you need to talk this with other people.The first person other then me to believe in my dreams was my parents.I started saying i wanna be an Astronaut when i was just a kid.They saw me with two diaries.Those were full of news newspaper cuttings from big bang theory to how to become an Astronaut.They said why don't you be scientist or doctor.Its not they discouraged me,they didn't believed.I still remember the day when i was in 10th standard i was still saying i wanna be an Astronaut.That time my father said this is what you wanna do, you need to start working towards it and think about how you gonna get there.From that first time my parents become my biggest supporter.</div>

Next,you have to acting big,this means,taking opportunities when they come upon you.When i organized an event in my college to inspire other that time for me to acting big,that event was biggest opportunity to present myself in front of other.All you need is to keep patience and stay strong.Even you need to surround yourself with those people who have dreams like you.For me other then my parents was my best friend Garima.She believed in me and my dreams,she supported me all the time and she still support me.<br /></div>

I believed that dreamers can change the world and everyone will support you until you support yourself.Must remember you can achieve whatever it is you wish to achieve.There will be setbacks,there will be doubters,there will be minded people who can think you are crazy and try to discourage you. But remember you create your own reality and you are capable of greatness.<br /></div>
