Congratulations to college NAN student Emily Emilien and her boyfriend Donovan Dewberry both graduated from Fort Valley State University today. Emily has been a part of my life since she was in the second grade, she’s my second daughter. I had the pleasure of meeting Donovan 2years ago and he has become my son. I’m so proud of these college graduates. Fort Valley gave us a little Sunday morning church during graduation but after the graduation they gave us “Stomp the yard”. It was a celebration

So this was a science fair competition where my AP Seminar class had to research a topic for 1st semester with the end goal to compete in the science fair. My research project was discovering comets and how you can differentiate between a comet and star, asteroids, or cosmic rays. I found two comets using the NASA provided telescope images from there LASCO C2 database to find the comets from date of 8/25/2022 and 10/02/2022.
