I am no science student.

You know you're a social science student as soon as any equation or exact answer has to come into effect. I am spending my 4 year Mount Allison Degree, working on a major in Anthropology(The science that deals with the origins, physical and cultural development, biological characteristics, and social customs and beliefs of humankind.) So how did i get myself in this predicament you might ask yourself? During a 4 year degree, you must take 2 science courses to graduate and i was told that this would be the most interesting out of all of them ( Not informing me that there is math involved in the process to gaining the distribution course). I bring up the math because, it has been almost 3 entire years since i had to do an equation more then two lines long(it might sound pathetic but, its true!) This is my adventure and i invite you to follow me through the good times and the bad(hopefully they are all good, but i am a realist! :P)

Orion, where art thou?

During my previous lab, me and my colleagues were exploring the universe on star gazer, while exploring the constellations, we came across the constellation, Orion. This week i would like to touch on the significance and meaning of both an constellation, and in particular, Orion.   Constellations in our night's sky, where created by Greek's and a earlier world, which found meaning through the prominent stars in our night's sky, which they thought to represent an object or person (in Orion's case, the hunter).  Orion is an prominent constellation in the celestial sphere,and  one can see Orion throughout the world, within the night's sky on a clear day.  Orion is the most apparent constellation in our night's sky.  Orion the hunter originated from Greek Mythology. Greeks have played a very significant role in naming our worlds night sky, and explaining the meaning and actuality of the stars and objects within our sky.  One must wonder how confusing the stars, constellations, etc,  would have been for those individuals and the ones before them, at least we have physics class to help us explain it. If you can understand and memorize all the terms haha.








Litte video on Orion found on youtube. Stay in touch. Physics class isn't over yet!
