Hello!

Hello, future scientists! I have created this website to allow you to be updated with various items in the field of science. Of course, you know how I am with updates dealing with space, natural disasters, etc...anything involving science in the "real world". Since you all are so interested, we can sometimes get carried away with everything, so I have decided to make this blog in order to let you come at your own time to see updates, cool pictures and videos, websites, and more.
Our first topic that I would like to share with you is about the volcanic eruption in Russia. On June 12, 2009, Sarychev Peak in Russia erupted after being dormant for 20 years! As the volcano was erupting, the International Space Station was flying over that area of the world. Fortunately for us, the astronauts snapped a picture! Here is a picture (taken from http://www.nasa.gov/) of a bird's eye view of Sarychev Peak erupting.

Also, on June 18, 2009, the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) and Lunar Crater Observation and Sensing Satellite (LCROSS) left the Kennedy Space Center and headed for the moon! Both LRO and LCROSS are well on their way to provide us with great information about the moon, allowing us to move along with our plans to land on the moon again in the future!

*information regarding Sarychev Peak, LRO, and LCROSS was obtained from both http://www.nasa.gov/ and http://www.spaceweather.com/

Stay tuned, future scientists...there is a whole world out there to discover!
