~Thursday, June 1, 2023 ~
I told myself I was going to write about my REU often and look how that worked out lmfaooo
It's almost been 2 weeks since I got to UAH, here's a quick list of things that have happened to recap, and then I promise I'll update regularly LOLOL
I got really cool pictures on the plane ride down here
All 3 of my suitemates are trans/enby like myself, and we all get along phenomenally!! I couldn't have asked for better roomies
We had a lotttt of lectures last week on all sorts of topics. I found the one on gravitational astronomy particularly interesting (LIGO just started its 4th observation run, that's super super exciting!)
I got the details of my project!
My title is Active Region Simulation with EBTEL. In a nutshell, I'll be using Enthalpy-Based Thermal Evolution of Loops (EBTEL) simulations to observe differences in heat/density fluctuations in coronal loops with the introduction of nanoflares, which are small scale energy releases. This will be useful in trying to better understand the coronal heating problem - why the heck does the temperature go from a few thousand K at the photosphere to suddenly orders of magnitude higher??? SUPER excited about this project! All three of my mentors are either associated with or work at NASA, so my work amongst the others will directly help them in their projects which is super cool.
My suitemates and I visited the Huntsville Botanical Gardens, and I got lots of artsy photos! (pictures above from here: the piano, the ladybug in the flower, and the walkway over water)
We found a good boba place nearby (SCORE!!) called Leafly!
Tumblr media
good soup.
I found two seeds that had little roots forming inside an apple I ate, so we germinated them and stuck em in some soil. They stood up within a day!
A lot more happened, but this is a pretty decent list of notable things!
I'm super stoked to be here, and I cannot wait to get started on my project!!

A Small Sombrero for Hubble by NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center Via Flickr: NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has allowed astronomers to view galaxies of all shapes and sizes from nearly every angle. When a galaxy is seen edge-on, the mesmerizing perspective reveals a dazzling slice of the universe. The "Little Sombrero," also known as NGC 7814 or Caldwell 43, is one such galaxy. Set against a speckled backdrop of more remote galaxies, the Little Sombrero features a bright central bulge, a thin disk full of dust, and a glowing halo of gas and stars that sprawls out into space. It is roughly 40 million light-years from Earth, 80,000 light-years-wide, and billions of years old. The dusty spiral is named after the grander-appearing Sombrero galaxy, which resembles a broad-brimmed Mexican hat. Also viewed from its edge, the Sombrero galaxy is located just 28 million light-years away and looks larger than the Little Sombrero. In reality, they are nearly the same size, but the Sombrero appears bigger because it is closer. This image of the Little Sombrero is a combination of visible and infrared observations captured by Hubble's Advanced Camera for Surveys in 2006. The observations were taken to assist astronomers in studying the galaxy's stellar populations, and to help shed light on the evolution of this galaxy and others like it.

"This photograph shows F-1 engines being stored in the F-1 Engine Preparation Shop, building 4666, at the Marshall Space Flight Center. Each F-1 engine produced a thrust of 1,500,000 pounds. A cluster of five engines was mounted on the thrust structure of the S-IC stage of a 364-foot long Saturn V launch vehicle that ultimately took astronauts to the Moon."

How Craig Marshall of NASA met Storm
Craig Marshall is a human NASA scientist who spent one month living on Mars doing research and studying the results of Krakoan terraforming process in the planet of Arakko. While studying the terraformed planet, he eventually warmed up to the Arakki mutants and a few Krakoan mutants on Mars since the former (Arakki) saw him as a kindhearted researcher, not a threat. During the Judgment Day storyline, Arakko-Mars was attacked by Uranos the Eternal. Craig tries to evacuate the Arakki children to safety but they refused to leave as they rather stand their ground to defend the land and fight off the Eternal Death Machines. Then, Storm arrives along with Lactuca the Knower and Sobunar of the Depths, to fend off the Eternal Death Machines. As he watched from the ground, Craig was impressed with Storm's bravery and beauty.
Some time later, Craig has a date with Storm on Arakko-Mars. Craig Marshall also mentioned that his favorite superheroes were Night Thrasher and Storm. Unfortunately, the date was cut short when Charles Xavier interrupted it with a telepathic call to Storm.

NASA’s NuSTAR Telescope Reveals Hidden Light Shows on the Sun

NASA’s NuSTAR Telescope Reveals Hidden Light Shows on the Sun by NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center Via Flickr: Even on a sunny day, human eyes can’t see all the light our nearest star gives off. A new image displays some of this hidden light, including the high-energy X-rays emitted by the hottest material in the Sun’s atmosphere, as observed by NASA’s Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array (NuSTAR). While the observatory typically studies objects outside our solar system – like massive black holes and collapsed stars – it has also provided astronomers with insights about our Sun. In this composite image, NuSTAR data is represented as blue and is overlaid with observations by the X-ray Telescope (XRT) on the Japanese Aerospace Exploration Agency’s Hinode mission, represented as green, and the Atmospheric Imaging Assembly (AIA) on NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO), represented as red. NuSTAR’s relatively small field of view means it can’t see the entire Sun from its position in Earth orbit, so the observatory’s view of the Sun is actually a mosaic of 25 images, taken in June 2022. The high-energy X-rays observed by NuSTAR appear at only a few locations in the Sun’s atmosphere. By contrast, Hinode’s XRT detects low-energy X-rays, and SDO’s AIA detects ultraviolet light – wavelengths that are emitted across the entire face of the Sun.

Hubble Captures Giant Elliptical in the Head of the Serpent by NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center Via Flickr: This new NASA Hubble Space Telescope image spotlights the giant elliptical galaxy, UGC 10143, at the heart of galaxy cluster, Abell 2147, about 486 million light-years away in the head of the serpent, the constellation Serpens. UGC 10143 is the biggest and brightest member of Abell 2147, which itself may be part of the much larger Hercules Supercluster of galaxies. UGC 10143’s bright center, dim extended halo, and lack of spiral arms and star-forming dust lanes distinguish it as an elliptical galaxy. Ellipticals are often near the center of galaxy clusters, suggesting they may form when galaxies merge. This image of UGC 10143 is part of a Hubble survey of globular star clusters associated with the brightest galaxies in galaxy clusters. Globular star clusters help astronomers trace the origin and evolution of their galactic neighbors. The Hubble survey looked at the distribution, brightness, and metal content of more than 35,000 globular star clusters. The image uses data from Hubble's Advanced Camera for Surveys. Any gaps were filled by Hubble's Wide Field and Planetary Camera 2 and the Pan-STARRS collaboration. The color blue represents visible blue light, and reddish-orange represents near infrared light.

"Engineers at the Marshall Space Flight Center install the F-1 engines on the S-IC stage thrust structure at the S-IC static test stand. Engines are installed on the stage after it has been placed in the test stand. Five F-1 engines, each weighing 10 tons, gave the booster a total thrust of 7,500,000 pounds, roughly equivalent to 160 million horsepower."
