Astronomy Essay

Write a 2 page essay on any astronomy topic of your interest; you can pick something you may have wanted to know about; some ideas are: black holes, the search for aliens (see SETI Institute), life on other planets, dark matter, the Big Bang, etc. In your conclusions you can include 1 paragraph on your feelings about the topic. At the end include the names of the two sources (i.e. books, webpages etc.) that you read to learn about your topic. Size 12 font. Calibri or Times Roman. 1 inch margins on all 4 sides of page. Align text as Justify (this gives an even right side margin). Do not refer to yourself nor your ideas so don’t use pronouns such as “I,” “me,” etc. Check for common writing mistakes: grammar, punctuation, organization, flow, originality. Consequences of cheating: Copying sentences from papers you find online or elsewhere is plagiarism and could result in failing the course and suspension. It is required you write your paper in your own words.
