Name: Laurie House: Ravenclaw Reason you are joining Astronomy club: I'm obsessed with the stars. Next year I'm starting my major in Astronomy. Here's a little blurb on why I love the stars: I find it mesmerizing and alarming at the same time that the Earth is such a miniscule part of a gigantic universe. I feel that it would be a disservice to myself if I did not make my field of study the universe at large, and learn all I can about it. I would feel incomplete if I passed up the chance of making my life’s work the study of stars, and planets, and mysteries of the universe. I have a passion for the stars, and everything they signify. I am a dreamer, but also a lover of logic, and I feel that Astronomy is the perfect balance between these two extremes that I harbor in my heart. Favorite star/constellation/planet/and/or nebula: That's a hard question. It's probably the Orion nebula. I like the colors, and everything. So pretty. But I'm also quite partial to Neptune, for reasons unknown to me. Any subject of Astronomy you'd like to see covered?: Aurora Borealis? It's one of my favorites. Or the beginning of the universe. Black holes, dark matter, etc., etc. Everything and anything that has to do with Astronomy, we should discuss.
