The constellation I have chosen is Ursa Major, specifically the Big Dipper within it. Ironically, Ursa Major is my favorite because of one of its many creation stories. Ursa Major is also known as the Great Bear, and lies in the northern hemisphere. It was one of the 88 constellations first recognized by the International Astronomical Union. It is also the third largest constellation in the sky. I recognize that the Big Dipper is not a constellation, this creation story is too good to pass up sharing
Perhaps the simplest constellation of the four original Greek constellations is the Hyades. One of the first mentions of the Hyades is found in Works and Days by Homer, as a seasonal signal to farmers. Farmers were told “... when the... Hyades... begin to set... remember to plough...” (Hesiod 612-613). The myth is that the Hyades are believed to be the daughters of the Titan Atlas and the Oceanid Aethra and the sisters of the Pleiades (Britannica School). After nursing the god Dionysus as a baby
Earth’s galaxy, the Milky Way consists of more than 100 billion stars, many of which can be interpreted by human visual perception, while other can only be observed with the aid of a magnifying or light-collecting optical device such as a telescope. The stars are organized into various groupings according to their visible arrangement as observed in earth’s atmosphere. Human beings from cultures of eras bygone such as the Greeks, Romans, and Babylonians, and bestowed most, if not all of the titles
Astronomy teaches patience and humility and although I had the latter to some degree, this five week project helped me to develop the former. Not everything worked on the first attempt to find planets, stars, constellations, and other celestial objects. I started this project sometime in September actually, but was so discouraged by not seeing anything in the night sky due to visibility obstructions that I postponed it for another three weeks. When panic over deadlines got the best of me I finally

table a wide variety of speed and efficiency in the wide scale of the delivery system, but like most pieces of technology they also come with flaws. Some of the major flaws that could be brought up would have to be the ease of hack-ability, security concerns and weight limitations. While there may be major flaws, there are still major advantages towards drone delivery such as high volume delivery, speed and accuracy of delivery, and the ability to eliminate fuel consumption from the delivery fleets
College majors are one of, if not the most important aspect of college. Starting at young ages, students are pressured to think about their future and the possible career paths they will take, leaving little room for them to relish in their childhood. In high school, they are told the AP classes they take and the clubs they join should be reflective of the major they will have in college.

Even so, it is clear that Lady Macbeth is the dominant person in the couple. She is one of the major driving forces of Macbeth. This is shown when they are plotting the murder of Duncan. Macbeth asks her, ?If we should fail?? and she strongly replies, ?We fail! / But screw your courage to the sticking-place, / And we?ll not fail.? Whenever he is backing down she pushes him forward again. This is where a major flaw of our protagonist comes in. Macbeth cannot escape the trap of listening to his wife. He
health players, if calculated by resource allocation, a small number of wealthy donors set the majority of global health priorities (31) which reduces the opportunity for empirically determined need for a program to be factored into the discussion. The major disparity between the priorities set by global health actors and need is exemplified in Rwanda where the local government highlighted the disproportionately high funding targeted at HIV/AIDs when the nation only had a 3% infection rate (2, 32).

the AP classes I am currently taking is AP English Language and Composition instructed by Steve Wyrick, and it is unequivocally not elementary. To substantiate my point, Wyrick once had the class work on three concurrent essays, or major papers as he refers to them: Major Paper #2-1, #2-2, and #2-3. Additionally, all three essays had to be no less than two fully typed pages minus their headings. To challenge my fellow peers and me even further, Wyrick currently has us compose what he introduced as

the poem Sassoon expresses his great disgust towards the military majors discourteous efforts toward the world war. He mimics the majors, and what his life would be like if he were him. He creates a sardonic picture of how comfortable the majors' lives were and how they were responsible for killing young soldiers by sending them to the front, but they themselves were never in danger as they did not have to fight; he depicts the majors as not caring about the lives of single soldiers.
