Travel through Space

Feature..................................................2 Editorial Calendar...............................3

Dear readers,

Astronomy...........................................4

he word space has many meanings. According to MerriamWebster Dictionary, space can be defined as a period of time, a distance from other people or things, an opportunity for privacy and time to oneself, or the region beyond the earth's atmosphere and the solar system. These definitions explain a lot of intended complexity behind the theme of this issue - Travel through Space.

Many of our writers chose to write about our solar system, offering interesting information and engaging stories built around our cosmos. Others opted for a different approach by reflecting on things and experiences that took them through space and time to discover something important about themselves.

No matter which path is taken, space exploration helps us think deeply about fundamental questions related to the history of our solar

ASTRONOMY

Popular Constellations By: Jacqueline Ng, 5th grade, Deerfield Elementary School, Rochester Hills

O

rion’s belt has three bright stars. They represent Orion’s sword belt. The three stars are Alnilam, Mintaka, and Alnitak. A curved line of three stars represent Orion’s sword. One of the stars is not an actual star; the Orion Nebula is a huge cloud of dust and gas. Orion is home to two meteor showers. Both meteor showers are associated with the dust and debris trail left behind by Halley’s Comet.

Leo, the lion, lies between Virgo and Cancer and is bordered by other constellations like the Ursa Major, Leo Minor, Lynx, Cancer, Hydra, Sextans, Crater, Virgo and Coma Berenices.

Leo has been recognized as a lion in mythology as well as literature.

According to the Greek mythology, it is believed that constellation Leo is the Nemean lion, which was killed by Hercules

and placed in the sky. In Egyptian mythology, it is believed that the sun arose near the star Denebola in Leo when the world was created.

Ursa Major is a wellknown significant constellation in many cultures.

It is one of the oldest constellations in the sky, with a history dating back to the ancient times.

The constellation is referenced in Homer and the Bible. A great number of tales and legends across the globe associate Ursa Major with a bear.

Ancient Greeks associated the constellation with the myth of Callisto, the beautiful nymph, who had given a vow of chastity to the goddess Artemis.

Zeus saw the nymph one day and fell in love. The two had a son and named him Arcas. Artemis had already banished Callisto when she had learned about the nymph’s pregnancy and her broken vow.

hen I learned about Saturn, I liked this planet because it has 62 moons. Saturn is more than 750 times the size of the Earth. Saturn is made mostly of liquid and gas. You could not stand on it; you would sink. Saturn is the sixth planet from the Sun. One day on Saturn is equal to about 11 hours on Earth. That is why Saturn is cool.

In 7.6 billion years, the Sun is going to expand into a red giant and suck the Earth; after that it will be nothing and all that will be left is a black hole.

The Moon looks grey and the Sun looks white to our eyes. Do not directly look at the Sun. The Sun is 9941 degrees fair in height and the Moon is 224 during the day and 298 degrees at night.

The first one to be on the moon was Neil Armstrong's rocket ship, named Saturn 5 in 1969.

he Sun is a huge glowing sphere of hot gas.

Most of this gas is hydrogen (about 70%) and helium (about 28%). Carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen make up 1.5% . It also contains small amounts of many other elements such as neon, iron, silicon magnesium, and sulfur. The Sun's core is around 13600000 degrees Celsius!

The Sun makes up around 99.86% of the solar system's mass! The Sun is a star found at the center of the solar system.

Australia's Wildfires By: Xavier Abell, 4th Grade, Springfield Plains Elementary, Clarkston

A

ustralia's wildfires are affecting the earth. They started in late October of 2019. These are giant wildfires sprouting up on the north and east coast in Australia. Clouds of smoke and ash are blowing and conquering Australia’s skies. Animals are sad over the fact that they are losing their homes and maybe even family members! People had to evacuate their homes because the smoke is not good to breathe. Things are getting destroyed and burnt to a crisp, and some animals that were already endangered are now on the brink of extinction. Millions and millions of animals are now endangered. Beaches, landmarks, trees, and sources for living are now all destroyed.

This has started because of global warming and human activity. This is starting many problems and issues in this amazing country. Humans have started this fire and will need to help to stop it.

Australia’s fires are affecting global warming. This is bad for the earth. This means the carbon dioxide that the fire is releasing is warming up all parts of the earth. This means warmer weather.

I have a theory that the fires all over the world in 2019 are affecting cold weather.

This might result in warmer seasons like hot summers, not a lot of snow and warmer life on earth overall.

These wildfires bring up new health problems and worsen the ones people already have. The smoke and ash from the fire can lead to heart and lung problems because it is bad to breathe in. This can lead to chronic diseases for the heart and the lungs.

The fires burn down farms leaving tens, hundreds, thousands, millions, and

FEBRUARY 2020

billions of animals left in the fire hungry and homeless. In the wildfires, there are animals that are suffering as well as the people leaving their homes. One of the animals that are really endangered is the cute koala. This animal is endangered because it only eats eucalyptus. This is the only food they will eat. Eucalyptus is highly poisonous, and koalas have special digestive systems that make the toxin go away. Some other amazing endangered animals that live in Australia are Cassowaries, the cute Antechinus, the Lady Gouldian Finch and more.

Millions and millions of animals are on the brink of extinction. One of my favorite endangered animals in Australia is the Swift Parrot, and it lives in southern Australia in Tasmania. It is very attractive with its colors of green, yellow, and red. They mainly eat nectar as well as some lerps, psyllids, seeds and flowers.

Sometimes the Swift Parrot hangs upside down! There are only about two thousand of these beautiful colorful parrots

left in the wild, and if we don’t act fast, these parrots could go extinct in the next sixteen years.

These wildfires are very big -- miles and miles long. That is why NASA satellites detect smoke from Australia's wildfires on Earth from space! Usually satellites detect things and discover things in space like planets, stars, and human activity on earth. But this time, satellites took pictures and detected smoke from fires. The plumes of smoke rise high into the air. These wildfires are huge and need help.

A way you can help is to donate to WWF AKA World Wildlife Fund. You can also donate to zoos and to Australia.

If you go to church, you can just simply fast (which means not eat) the day you go to church, and since millions of people did that, Australia got rain! It was even more amazing because the fires started because of dry land. You also can help animals by donating to your local animal rehabilitation center.

Anywhere you turn, there is always someone yelling, punching, or fighting. I do not know if the virus has just gotten to their heads or if this is just plain reality. You're most likely wondering what this virus is, right? It’s called Homicfurtive. If you catch it, you're dead in a day or two.

“Good morning, *systems processing* Ophelia Astrid. I will put before you a digital test; you will have to finish in approximately 2 hours. You may start.

Good day.”

11- 23-2071 8:30 pm My family takes the seats at our big elegant dining table and starts to pass delicious foods around the table. My father, Buzz, says in his loud grumpy voice, "Ophelia, must you always have what is it called… diary... everywhere?

Just write in your digital skyphone.”

I reply to my father in a very confident tone,” Yes father. Anyway, how did everyone like the test?”

Everyone says,” It was excellent!” Just then my father gets a call from the the ISWG saying we all are granted a ticket to go into space; our guide, Sarah will

12- 2- 2071 10:07 am Diary, today is the day! We are going to our spacecraft and flying into the unknown black orbits! I already have everything packed! I have my clothing, toiletries, my skyphone, my diary, and other needed things.

12- 2- 2071 11:09 am My family and I wait in line to get our GPS chip installed into our brains so that if our ship gets lost, they can find us. A nurse walks into the dull looking waiting room and says, “Ophelia, Dr.Stran is ready to install the chip for you. You are number 199 in case of emergency. Please follow me this way.”

She takes me into a strange room with testing tubes and other odd machines.

She leaves me alone with Dr.Stran. I look him up and down, and I make mental notes. He is about 7 feet tall, has grey dark hair and has glasses on. I have to put my diary down now; see you after the surgery.

12- 2- 2071 12:30 pm The chip hurts a little, thus giving me an aching headache, but it’s not that bad since I know I am going to space!

A woman walks up to my family. She says her name is Sarah and that she is going to show us our ship and give us the tickets to board. She takes us to a beautiful white and black ship. We are amazed! “This beauty is the President's ship,” she says as she moves along and takes us to a small white ship big enough FEBRUARY 2020

to keep us all happy. We give our tickets to the ship master as we all go inside.

Sarah leaves and says,” Enjoy, folks!” It is beautiful inside! It feels like I am in a fantasy world. I run up to my room and start to unpack.

2 -2- 2071 10:30 pm Sorry for not writing much! But to be fair, I am really busy here. Back on the Earth, everything was so-lifeless.

But here every corner is filled with life!

I’ve learned to fly-like actually! When my family turns off the gravity, I feel like a cloud drifting up into the sky.

But when we turn it back on, I feel like a rain cloud with every drop of my body dropping down to the ship’s floor.

I’ve also been playing a lot of cards with my family in the spaceship's living counters, which has a big light blue table. In fact, I am going to go play right now!

2-3-2071 10:45am CRASH! I scream in terror! I feel my life being drained out of me! And that's all I remember before I black out…

I wake up on a rocky shore on some weird planet, glad to be alive. I see no one but the galaxy above me, shining with little bright stars. I realize I am not on the ship any more. “I need to get out of here,” I scream into the galaxy above me. In a flash, my brain starts to work and I start figuring out ideas stacked on ideas. If I go into the ship, I might be able to get some space gear but the problem is it is full of toxic air.

I have approximately 7 minutes and 48 seconds to get the gear on and to leave

the toxic ship. I am determined to do this. I run through the spacecraft and into the room with all the space gear. 6 minutes and 10 seconds left. These don't fit me. I realize my space gear was left in my bedroom. I rush up to my bedroom with 4 minutes left. I find it and put it on as quickly as possible with 1 minute and 34 seconds left. I run out the door of the spacecraft as an explosion erupts behind me. That's when I realized I was so close to death.

2- 28- 2071 2:00 pm I ended up constructing a rocket that I was able to attach to the space gear. I am going to lunch myself into space in 3 2 1!

I blast up into space, and in a flash, I am in black space. I start to go forward and forward and forward.

3-1-2071 3:00 pm It's a useless, dear Diary, this is the end… I lay back and let the gravity of space take me. Good bye, dear Diary…

5 DAYS LATER AT THE ISWG HEAD SHIP “We are approaching number 199, captain,” says co-pilot Jerry. “Good,” Captain Larry says. “She isn't moving.

We lost her, sadly… Wait what is that floating beside her?” Captain Larry asks.

The crew picks the book up and finds out that it is her diary. Nurses confirm that Ophelia is dead. They are surprised by her bravery and decide to make a day dedicated to her called Ophelia Day, when they share her diary entrances.

am a space traveler. I've been doing this my whole life. It‘s very difficult living up here, where it’s so quiet; almost all the time I'm lonely. It’s very dark, and for miles and miles all I can see is black with tiny white specks that are far away stars. Once in like five years you might see a colorful speck that gets bigger and bigger until it's a planet.

A very long time ago, I left my parents’ spacecraft and went on my own. I used to love finding different planets made out of rocks in colors I’d never seen before, but now I miss my parents. I haven't found a planet in a year. I’m getting a little sick always sitting in my spacecraft floating around; everything the same. It’s only been about four years since I left my parents but it feels like way more. I’m always wondering if I will see my parents again. I thought they might come and find me, but I don't think they are coming anymore. I always tell myself, “What if they can find me, they could be looking for me; maybe I should look for them.” Now for three days, I’ve been looking for my parents. I think I’m going the wrong way, or the right way, but they're going the same way as me, and we’re running away from each other. I think I'm going to turn around.

There’s no sign of my parents so far, and l’ve been going this way for a while.

Maybe I should try a new way again, but that might not work because I don't know which way they are going. Maybe I should just stay put and wait for them to find me. I’m very good at occupying myself because I have to do it a lot. I can sing, I can watch my things float, I can dance a little. My spacecraft is very small; comfortable but small. I'm the

eff was an alien who had just moved to the moon. The first day that he was there, he had learned a lot, so on the second day, he decided to go out on another mission to learn more.

He got up the next morning, put on his favorite neon green T-shirt, and headed out the door. First, he went to the museum that was all about the moon. When he got there, he automatically went inside and signed in. Then, he was off reading random articles that were about the moon.

What he had learned, he shared with a friend that he met on the way. What he shared were mostly just random facts that his friend couldn’t quite understand. So, he decided that he would just have to find somebody else to share his information.

So here is what Jeff said, “Hello, friend, I just went to the museum All About the Moon and I want to tell you about what I learned”.

Here is what his friend said, “I will be happy to hear what you learned about.”

“That’s great. Here’s what I learned.

Apparently the moon has many different things than where I used to live.

One thing is that it has a bunch of potholes in it that are usually made when asteroids hit the moon. Asteroids are big balls of rock and other gases that fly through the solar system since the solar system has no gravity. That is also why oftentimes we, aliens, end up flying off somewhere that we don’t really know.”

“I must go now. I enjoyed what you just taught me, and this will be helpful when I go out on another mission like you. See you later.”

“Bye!” FEBRUARY 2020

Obscuring My Eyes

By: Eric Gohl, 11th grade, Clarkston High School

I

was born into the day on an old virescent couch in the dated basement of my eccentric aunt and uncle. I stirred slowly, and my eyes lifted like curtains over the day. My body remained still, and my fovea perused the room. Bathed in history, perhaps being a twin to its timeline of existence, the room was antiquity in itself.

After lifting myself from bed and hiking upstairs, I partook in a brief breakfast of Raisin Bran with my aunt, uncle, mother, father, and brother. The room was largely quiet, except for the sound of a radio whispering AM talk to us on the kitchen counter. Each of our sleep schedules seemed to have produced a thick morning fog. We had to get up early or else we would miss the grand spectacle. Looking around the home

only briefly, one was impeded more by the days of old than in a museum. Their house was saturated with various artifacts mainly sourced from the African continent. They had traveled the world and met while doing radio shows in South Africa. Needless to say, my Uncle Wes and Aunt Marilyn were not the typical elderly couple.

In our car, Pavarotti graced our ears with Nessun Dorma. My uncle insisted that my brother and I listen intently.

What followed was a long journey through the Tennessee landscape. It was as if God himself had woken up, and draped his verdant blanket of lush over the Smokies on the third day. It also happened that day he had blessed us with a cloudless sky. Such a powerful landscape was bound to arouse thoughts of existentialism. Why were we here?

Why did we do anything? I queried myself. The scale of it all was incredibly

captivating to someone not used to even more than that of a small hill. The atmosphere was pristine, and at most, the wind stirred lazily and danced with the trees only to rest again. I could only hope that it remained as such.

At last, we approached a dirt side road up a steep incline. The road itself was not demanding of the eyes, almost harshly generic. The bumps of the rain-sculpted dirt jostled me from my daydreams of space. We entered the road and drove slowly towards the crest of the hill; there were no signs of human intervention except for the road itself. Once we neared the crest of the hill, our sky was enveloped by the arms of old-growth flora. We bounced and bounced on the road like a braille page. After some of us began to become seasick, we reached a dead-end and came to the realization that we must have driven past. We turned around and took a more careful

www.KidsStandard.org

N A R R AT I V E and measured ride back. It was only upon this closer examination that my Uncle Wes spotted the driveway. It was largely occluded from view by mighty oaks on either side and seemed to be a journey in itself.

As we stepped into the open air of the property, it became apparent that the environment was very much sui generis.

There, a large farmhouse was set atop a hill surrounded on all sides of the slope by a teeming field of spinach crops.

After we had exited the car and stepped up to the door, we began to enter and a light shone upon us. Handshakes, hugs, all sorts of people gathered in anticipation. Each person in that house I had never met, and yet I had known them for years. We were all unified powerfully by a strong curiosity about the world around us. A true intersection of bright minds: astronomers, engineers, physicists, and more. Those people had come from across the country to be there on that day, August 21, 2017. We sat near the astronomer and began to discuss with him what was to occur.

“You must not remove your glasses” he stated simply.

“But we can during totality, correct?”

I questioned, with definite worry in my voice.

“Sadly, no, the Corona is still enough to damage your eyes.”

With that, I did something that I never would have expected - I questioned the recommendation of a professional, an astronomer no less. I quickly and discreetly pulled out my phone and Googled the exact same question I had asked him. I clicked on NASA’s page and to my surprise, it said something different.

Many organizations had said before that you had to wear protective glasses during the entirety of an eclipse, but NASA and four other scientific and health organizations recently announced that it was permissible to remove eyewear, but only during totality. Saying nothing and wanting to remain respectful, I merely placed my phone back in my pocket and walked away knowing what I would do.

The time to view the eclipse was nearing; I had already scoped out a seat. To the right of my brother and FEBRUARY 2020

in front of my parents, in between the house and the slope down to the fields. I kept my glasses on while totality approached.

Things began to go dark, crickets, cicadas, and other insects began to make their songs heard to us. An odd color began to take the landscape. The energy was palpable; each person sitting on lawn chairs outside that house was holding breath in anticipation. Every person had high expectations for what was to come. Then, everything finally happened.

The moon had eclipsed the sun. We had driven hundreds of miles to see it, and when it finally happened, I realized I would drive double, triple, quadruple that, just to witness it again. The Earth

had become an alien place for those two minutes. Then I removed my glasses and peered up at the beauty above me. I will never forget the sight of it. The contrast was unparalleled by anything I had ever witnessed. Ultimate darkness next to ultimate light. A visual magnet for those in the belt for miles. Two minutes of pure unadulterated bliss. Then I looked behind me. There I saw my mother and father peeking, too! I made eye contact with my parents. There was a telepathic emotional understanding. I felt true happiness. The essence of joy. I became something more than a person. I understood life as it should be understood.

Why people get out of bed in the morning, why they do what they do. The true beauty rode with me in the car that day.

Summer Storms By: Owen Meyer, 11th grade, Clarkston High School

E

ach drop of water begins its life as a small collection of moisture, indistinguishable from the rest, buffeted on the winds of the clouds and the sky. Free from any bonds, this drop flies, detached from any action of its own, carried about on the breath of chance. As from the earth this water came, so to will it return, to bring life and replenishment to all who reside. When it’s inevitable time arrives, it begins its plummet to the earthen sphere below. This liquid droplet endures its descent alongside its aqueous brethren, past the creatures of the sky, to provide life to the creatures earthbound. The last image, seen in the semireflective surface of the rain from above, is a figure standing alone wide-eyed and silent; he stares around him, finally appreciating himself and the world around him.

There is something about summer rain that puts everything into perspective.

This world exists in a time when the sun

is shrouded - a moment that humbles even the boldest ones. The only view for the eyes is one of tranquil gray, broken by the white flash that turns the sky white and the earth dark. My sense of hearing, however, can detect the resounding clash as it rolls among the clouds, like two celestial beings locked in combat -- a stark contrast to such a secluded world of the ethereal. The fade begins, a return not to silence, but to gentle pitter-patter, tapping serenely on the brow of the humble being, graced by such phenomena. Drops of bygone dew continue to fall, each surface struck by their body - an instrument in the symphony of calm, a constant melody balanced by the strikes of some deep drum in the heavens. Each drop is cool, for the world is a cold place, and I often tend to shiver, yet discomfort is nowhere to be found. The chill water brings a bittersweet memory of lost days of jumping in puddles. Every bead that falls comes to rest, with an unknown purpose, but a mission all the same. The rain brings life to the sunscorched earth and washes away the blemishes of dredge and gray.

A single droplet traces the outlines of my face, sketching some unseen design.

The raging storm of thoughts, ideas, and stresses of the mind gradually fade into the rhythm of the calming storm around me. The earthen air, the smell of

rot and regrowth are a natural remedy.

The scents provide an escape from the world of the synthetic and constructed.

No matter the responsibilities and requirements of the human world I live in, at this moment, I am free from the consequences of man. I ponder as the rain soaks my hair and catches in the lashes of my eyes. The cycles of the sky and the rain have existed long before any man stepped foot on this earth. Most likely, they will persist long after each of us is gone. The establishment, the requirements of human creation pale in contrast with the primal power and efficiency of the systems untouched by man. This experience of sitting alone in the rain clears the head and provokes thoughts by its simplicity.

There are those who resent the rain for it tampers with the regimented structures that we have created: physical, mental, and social. I pity those who would be free of the rain and those who think the rain only feeds the plants. This cycle provides life to those who require it, the creatures and seeds of the earth, but it also allows a moment of peace.

At this moment, I can leave behind the burden of human ties. I can exist solely in the moment, to feel, reflect, and be at peace. How different would the world look today if each person could, or rather would, partake in such practice?

The Inner Me By: Soren Stockman, 6th grade, Avondale Middle School, Auburn Hills

M

om, I am so nervous! This is going to be bitter sweet,” I told my mom as we were in the car on the way to my second therapy session. “ It’s okay to feel nervous,” my mom told me in a comforting voice.

I am tired of feeling nervous! What if I say the wrong thing or I start crying?

16

Publication INC.

But then I calmed down and knew that this was what was best for me, so I was going to do it.

Beep, beep! I heard all of the commotion outside as we pulled into my therapist’s office. We sat in the car for a little bit because we were early to the session. As I sat in the car, I felt like there was a stampede of wild animals in my stomach. I felt this way every time I did a session. My mind was driving me crazy.

I was going to lose it before I even went into the therapy session. With a step of courage, I got out of the car feeling somewhat ready to talk about how I felt and how we can help me feel safe and happy

and not worried anymore.

Although I was feeling nervous on my way into the second session, I opened the door to his office. Even though a therapy office was usually a place where hard things happened, the second I walked into his office, I felt a wave of safety wash over me with love and comfort. I took a chocolate or two and sat down in the waiting area. The chocolate melted in my mouth as I noticed the pretty plants and the delicious smell of chocolate and flowers. Faith, the manager, came out of the office area and came up to me and my mom with joy, gave us hugs, and asked us how we were doing. I sat back

www.KidsStandard.org

N A R R AT I V E down while my mom and Faith talked.

I remembered that Mom told me that I could tell Mr. Mike the good and bad thoughts and feelings I had. After all, it was his job to help me feel much better. Mr. Mike came out of his office and hugged my mom and me and we talked about life for a little while. When Mr. Mike talked to me, I usually felt one of the safest times of comfort. Maybe he just had that flair?!

Even though I wanted my mom, Faith, and Mr. Mike to talk the whole session, that did not happen! Mr. Mike asked me and my mom to come into his office. I always had the choice to do the session with Mom or by myself; I chose for my mom to come into this one. Then it was time to talk about how I felt, which I did not want to do. “ Well, Soren, how are you?”

“I am good!” I told him. We talked for a minute about how I felt that week.

Every time we had a session, I had to tell him the reason I was there and that was exactly what I did.

“When I was six, I got really sick and no one in my family knew why I was having a really bad stomach ache. So we waited about two weeks to see if it would go away… but it did not. We went to my doctor, who sent us to a doctor that worked at Beaumont - a stomach disease specialist. After extensive testing and more weeks of awful symptoms, he told me that I had Giardia and a disease called H pylori. One is a parasite and the other is a bacteria; both in the stomach that causes stomach aches. So we started taking medicine for both of the problems. In the period of time I was taking the medicine, I was scared all the time that I would throw up or would not get good sleep. I was losing weight, unable to eat most things that usually sounded good to me, and had become used to feeling worried about my health.

“This has made her scared, even now, 6 years later, that if she gets a stomach ache that she has it again,” my mom added. I agreed with her.

I went on, “I had started to feel better and eventually the stomach aches went away. So we did not go back to the doctor to test again. Then three years later, FEBRUARY 2020

I got the stomach flu and I did not get better! I had stomach aches every night for over a month. I hated it!” “ Hahahaha!” I heard Faith and a couple other people laugh outside the office. I got distracted for a minute, then I focused and realized I was in the middle of a session. “ So we went back to the doctor and he said the H Pylori was still there. In the end, I ended up taking another round of the strong medicine for the disease and healing within a couple of months.”

The worst part is over! I did it. Good job, Soren. I am proud of you. My mom squeezed my hand. I could tell she was proud of me, she knows I hated telling that story.

Now I had to do the hard work: talk about how I felt. The last session we had done I learned what EMDR was. It was still something I had to think about before I did it. It definitely was not second nature.

“Do you remember how we do EMDR?” he asked me.

“Kind of! I am pretty sure I got it,” I said “Ok, then let’s do a set. So, think of the hardest memory you have of this whole incident and then blow it up to make it look like it's bigger than life. In your head of course.” He said in a reasonable voice.

I pictured the big screens at my church and how that memory could be played on it and like it was the biggest TV screen in life. Mr. Mike put his hands in a sign language U and started moving his hands back and forth, back and forth. I started to think about the memory while I was following his hands back and forth, back and forth. Me on the couch being miserable and sad that this happened to me!! I was not in control and… and … and … what happened after that? I don’t remember. Come on, Soren, think! Then he stopped, which meant I had to reflect on what I had thought about during that time. After ten seconds, my mind could not stay focused so I was frustrated with myself.

“Ok, Soren, how was that set?”

“I started it and I was clearly thinking about the hard memory, but then out of

nowhere my mind went to something else.”

“Ok! Do you want to try again” I said yes, and we kept on trying and I kept not getting any good outcome.

Taking the conversation in a different direction, Mr. Mike came up with the idea.

“Ok, you are going to close your eyes and have that bad memory in your head and go up to the younger you in your head and tell that little girl that you are okay, you made it, and she is not alone.”

Now I was nervous! I took a deep breath and settled in. I wanted to give this all my effort. Though my thoughts were racing, I quickly quieted my mind to focus on the task. Mr. Mike walked me through the exercise step-by-step. I closed my eyes and pictured a sick, sad, scared six-year old version of myself laying on the couch in pain. I walked up to her and sat down beside her. I looked into her eyes and told her, “You are not alone right now. You have so many people that love you and are trying to help you get better. Even though this is hard and you have no control right now, I want you to know that you will make it through this! Believe it or not, in the future, you are healthy, strong, and happy. You are not going to be sick for much longer and you don’t have to do this alone.”

Before I opened my eyes, I felt a rush of healing come over my body, and I realized there were warm, wet streams coming from my eyes. This moment was more powerful than I could have imagined. I got the chance to revisit one of the hardest times in my life and reassure my younger self that I was going to be okay and make it through those dark days.

I am a different person today because the fear and worry I lived with for so long is now set free. I traveled through space and time to get my healing. I learned that God is in control. Not me.

He has my body in His hands. He will always take care of me. When I look back at this situation today, I feel proud and thankful because it took hard work and a lot of energy to find closure. I am thankful because God provided this opportunity of healing for me.

Famous Astronauts

By: Vance Marshall, 5th grade, Pine Knob Elementary, Clarkston

Y

uri Gagarin was the first man in space; he was a Russian deputy and was a very talented

astronaut that orbited the entire Earth in about 108 minutes! Yuri Gagarin was born in 1934 and died in 1968. He had his lift off in 1961. Some of his words on the spacecraft were, “Orbiting Earth in the spaceship, I saw how beautiful

Earth is…” Some more are, “ I see Earth!

It’s so beautiful” and “ I looked and I looked, but I didn’t see god…” There are some pretty cool facts about Yuri Gagarin.

Another very popular astronaut was Neil Armstrong. He was famous for being the first person to take a step on the moon. Neil Armstrong was born in 1930 and died in 2012. He was also famous for some of his words, which were,” That’s one small leap for a man, one giant leap for mankind.” Neil Armstrong was in space for 8 days, 14 hours, 12 minutes and 30 seconds.

Another famous astronaut was Sally Ride. Sally was very famous for being the first ever female astronaut. Sally was born in 1951 and she died in 2012.

Sally rode in a Space Shuttle Challenger.

Sally’s job on the spacecraft was to control the robotic arm of the spacecraft.

Sally ride was 32 when she first launched into space. Sally was in space for 14 days, 7 hours and 46 minutes.

alileo Galilei is an important person in math and science. He was a doctor and a good musician. Also, he was the first to see Jupiter’s moons and then realized that our moon was covered in craters. He first discovered that the moon had mountains. He was the first one to know that Earth revolves around the Sun. Galileo Galilei invented telescopes, a compass, and a thermometer. Galileo went to jail because other people thought he was crazy. Galileo Galilei did a lot of important stuff. He never gave up even if it was hard. www.KidsStandard.org

The Space We Travel Through

W

hen sea-faring nations began to explore new regions of the world, one of their biggest concerns in making the journey safely was how to cope with weather. They could harness the wind for power. They could rely on the Sun and the stars for navigation. They could build sturdy ships. But if a storm rose suddenly, they were at nature’s mercy.

More than five centuries later, our nation is once again on the cusp of exploring new worlds. And once again, one of our concerns about traveling long distances is the weather.

Space weather.

While space is a vacuum – it’s not 100% empty. Particles, energy and magnetic fields travel through the void. Much of these emanate from the Sun’s corona, as part of a constant outward flow known as the solar wind -- which stretches well beyond the orbit of Neptune. There are also high energy particles or cosmic rays in the mix, which travel vast distances from dying stars or supernovae. Earth’s magnetic field and relatively thick atmosphere act as a shield against the most harmful forms of this radiation, but in space there is no such deterrent.

If we want to travel though this space,

FEBRUARY 2020

we need ways to protect our astronauts.

These particles can affect our technology, tripping onboard electronics.

Dr. Yari Collado-Vega, Space Weather Scientist at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center notes, “We are working hard to forecast when these particles will be at their peak, such as during solar flares or coronal mass ejections.”

Acute exposure to these solar energetic particles is a serious concern for astronauts and instruments. Therefore, having a better understanding of when to expect solar activity is important for safely sending our astronauts and spacecraft through space. Ironically, such space weather activity can actually protect against another threat to astronauts: The Sun's activity can block dangerous cosmic rays coming from other stars, which are constantly present – illustrating the complexity of the system NASA tries to understand and mitigate for our space travelers.

Over time, sea captains learned when to sail their ships and when to stay in harbor, based on their accumulated knowledge of the weather. It’s more risky to be on the water in the Caribbean during hurricane season, and you’d want

to consider avoiding the Northeast coast of America during the height of winter.

Dr. Collado-Vega says, “It’s very similar to what we’re doing today. We’re constantly developing and testing new models to predict space weather. And we’re constantly seeking new data to refine those models.”

A host of heliophysics missions observe space from a variety of vantage points, not unlike terrestrial weather sensors, which work in tandem to paint a bigger picture of our space environment. In August 2018, NASA launched the Parker Solar Probe to help us better understand the Sun’s activity, especially what drives the solar wind, and how energetic particles get accelerated. This data could be used to improve models of space weather forecasting – ultimately helping us find new and better ways to shield our spacecraft and protect our astronauts.

Whether it was the oceans ancient ships traveled through or the space we will one day travel through, we know this: keeping a watchful eye on the environment around us is key to ensuring safe passage.
