The following (emails) were written by members of the Astronomy and Astrophysics workshop during the fourth day of the program. Some elements may have been removed for various reasons, but the text that remains is in the student's own words.
Today in class we did our class projects. Dayu and I are doing a project together (Galctic
Studies). It was interesting. I had fun.

When we were choosing projects today, I picked what I thought would be the easiest one (cometary
impact study) but which turned out to be extremely hard. However, seeing all the interesting facts
on the web (more than we could put in our presentation) and all the amazing pictures was fun. I
especially enjoyed seeing all the mistakes that have been in movies about space, including in the
Satr Wars movies, the planet Tatooine has two suns but everyone has only one shadow.

Today we worked on our projects. Our group is doing cometary impacts. It is really hard, but fun.

In today's class I must have learned alot because at the end my heqad started to hurt! I never
knew comets could be so difficult! Comets turned out being very fascinating and interesting! I am
looking forward to tomorrow so that I can finish my project on them.
-Jabeen
The projects were kinda hard and it took a while to get started and stuff. But after the computer
finally decided to work and I got a hang of what I was doing, it was more interesting. Finding
images on the internet, opening and playing with the color in sips so that you could "see" the
black hole was fun though.
