Name: Keri House: Hufflepuff Reason you are joining Astronomy club: Took Astronomy for 2 semesters at uni, LOVE it. Favorite star/constellation/planet/and/or nebula: I'm fond of Bernard's Star because of its movement and whatnot for studying, but I am really interested in how stars are formed, grow, and become Red Giants (Betelgeuse) or White Dwarfs (Sirius), then either do the whole Nova thing and collapse and do it over again or become shells and whatnot. It's pretty cool stuff. OH! Giants like Jupiter are really cool, too, just thinking about the atmostphere and the liquid-metal-hydrogen. Imean, it's hard to even contemplate. I'm also pretty interested in Titan and ..I forget the other moon, but the moons of Saturn and Uranus and then Neptune, because those planets and the moons haven't been studied much up close (so to speak), but are fascinating environments. Any subject of Astronomy you'd like to see covered?: Talking about constellations is always fun. I did a project for one of my classes (actually, I dropped out of one uni before finishing the class) where I took all the constellations currently visible in the early evening sky and made a booklet describing them, their position, what the major stars are, and the importance of the folklore to past tribes and things. (I'm a wannabe folklorist)
