-Cool?
-Correctamundo. And that\'s what we\'re gonna be. We\'re gonna be cool. Now, I\'m gonna count to three, and when I count three, you let go of your mouse, and back away from the keyboard. But when you do it, you do it cool. Ready? One... two... three.

Re: Reach for the Stars B
.... First post? Nice 
I'm going to assume that the rules won't be changing much?

Re: Reach for the Stars B
Wow, more changes than I expected, atleast more than some past years. I'm happy to see that somebody decided to enter the New General Catalouge; there's multiple NGC objects on the list, which is a real change from last year. And then there's the North America Nebula, which is my favorite emission nebula, although it's incorrectly called the North American Nebula on the powerpoint... There's also the Helix Nebula.... which just happens to be my "avatar" thing

Re: Reach for the Stars B
Yeah, it depends on the school. Personally, I started Division C in 9th grade. Wolfy, if you think Reach is harder this year, I can guarantee you it'll get harder than that in Astronomy, if you plan on doing it eventually.

My school is more competitive in B div than C anyway... And I just realized... There aren't any galaxies on the list this year...EASTstroudsburg13 wrote:Yeah, it depends on the school.

Re: Reach for the Stars B
Meh, for me, astronomy-related events are EXTREMELY easy. Summer before 7th grade, I was absolutely obsessed with astronomy. Also, is there a really major theme this year?EASTstroudsburg13 wrote:Yeah, it depends on the school. Personally, I started Division C in 9th grade.

Re: Reach for the Stars B
I don't know if there is ever a "theme" other than "astronomy". But I'm really looking forward to this year--NGC catalog! And those radiation laws...yessss. It's just the HR diagrams that bother me.
Physics is difficult for 99% of the world's population because they don't understand it. The other 1% know too much.
