During the semester there will be many new discoveries of astronomical interest. They
may take the form of an observation of some object or process with a telescope or other
sensor, a new discovery from a space probe or lander, a new computer calculation of a
process or condition, etc. At least once each week you should scan through astronomical
news and review sites looking for something that interests you. When you find something
you like, do some additional research through an Internet search engine on the topic you
have found. You will probably find that many news sites have picked up on the
discovery. If you do not understand some aspect, do further research on that aspect- for
example, it might be about black holes or something else that you do not know much
about.
The discovery must have happened after 01 August 2021, and should NOT be about a
predicted event (such as an eclipse).
For your paper, write a 800+ word review of the discovery, consisting of an introduction
of the topic, an analysis of the discovery itself, and a conclusion discussing the
significance.
Include at least one well-explained graph or image (you may refer to a link to a video).
Papers should be typed, double spaced, and submitted in .docx or .pdf format through the
Blackboard SafeAssign portal for this assignment. Check your papers for correct grammar
and spelling before submission. Material not your own must be cited within the text to a
bibliography entry at the end. References should be cited using a common citation
style—APA, MLA, or Chicago
