Antarctic Ozone Smaller

The Antarctic Ozone is smaller than average this year. It could just be a seasonal difference, or it could be global warming.... Opinions?

Mt Rainier at Night

A few days ago, I went to Mt Rainier to go stargazing. It did take a lot of time going to and back from Mt. Rainier, but it was definitely worth it! There were so many stars- I nearly forgot about the cold. I saw so many stars I had never even heard of, although I did see a few constellations I could recognize. I took some pictures but it didn't come out as well as the real thing...

MH4

Tried to make the plane more eco-friendly (as one of my goals is to design eco-friendly planes one day) by increasing the scale factor of wings, rudder, horizontal stabilizer, and propeller so the engine could use less energy while in flight.

MIG-21

Here is one of my edited designs (I'm sorry I do not have the original form, I forgot to save it. Although you cannot really see the difference of the designs...) It is the MIG 21, a jet fighter aircraft. To give you a quick summary of what kind of "war plane" it is, it was the most produced supersonic jet in aviation history. It started being developed in the 1950s and was a successful Soviet aircraft.

Aviation Designs

One of my new hobbies lately is to edit other peoples' designs of planes. It may sound odd at first but it is actually really fun- similar to solving a puzzle. It makes you think about how a plane really works, and how you could improve it. Right now, I am only at the step of studying other people's designs, but soon I think I will try designing some myself.

National Geographic

A little earlier, I was looking for a good website without annoying ads, viruses, and most important- wanted news articles about space with proof. This is when I found out that National Geographic had not only worldwide news articles, but a whole section about space. I always had interest in National Geographic magazines, and believe that the articles have definite proof. So, if you are looking for a good website about outerspace, I would definitely recommend National Geographic.

The Endeavour

The Endeavour Space Shuttle is now at the LA Science Center. But before it retired, it had made many goals and had been in the center or attention many times. In 2011 it had also been captured at the ISS (International Space Station) for the first time since 1996. It had flown 122,853,151 miles and lived 299 days in space. That is why I felt it and honor to be able to see the space shuttle when I went to LA. I had also seen its departure in 2008 Florida and also felt excited to see it up close.
