  • ISSUE 134, AUGUST 2013 2 Imperative: Venus Continued
    Imperative: Venus — Virgil L. Sharpton, Lunar and Planetary Institute Venus and Earth began as twins. Their sizes and densities are nearly identical and they stand out as being considerably more massive than other terrestrial planetary bodies. Formed so close to Earth in the solar nebula, Venus likely has Earth-like proportions of volatiles, refractory elements, and heat-generating radionuclides. Yet the Venus that has been revealed through exploration missions to date is hellishly hot, devoid of oceans, lacking plate tectonics, and bathed in a thick, reactive atmosphere. A less Earth-like environment is hard to imagine. Venus, Earth, and Mars to scale. Which L of our planetary neighbors is most similar to Earth? Hint: It isn’t Mars. PWhy and when did Earth’s and Venus’ evolutionary paths diverge? This fundamental and unresolved question drives the need for vigorous new exploration of Venus. The answer is central to understanding Venus in the context of terrestrial planets and their evolutionary processes. In addition, however, and unlike virtually any other planetary body, Venus could hold important clues to understanding our own planet — how it has maintained a habitable environment for so long and how long it can continue to do so. Precisely because it began so like Earth, yet evolved to be so different, Venus is the planet most likely to cast new light on the conditions that determine whether or not a planet evolves habitable environments. NASA’s Kepler mission and other concurrent efforts to explore beyond our star system are likely to find Earth-sized planets around Sun-sized stars within a few years.

  • The Miles Ahead
    The Miles Ahead An Honors Thesis (HONRS 499) By Krista Sanford Thesis Advisor Angela Jackson-Brown Ball State University Muncie, Indiana May 2016 Expected Date of Graduation May 2016 ¥,Coli Undergrad -Hrest<. l-D Sanford 2 2Lf89 -Z'+ Abstract: 20/~ .$~7 As a teenager obsessed with music, I would have loved to read a novel about band members. During college, I finally decided to close that gap in young adult literature. For this thesis, I finished a series I have been working on since freshman year about a girl and all her adventures with her brother's band. I wrote the novel for teenagers to not only enjoy, but to gain something from. I wanted teenagers to take away something from my novel while also enjoying the fantasy of hanging out with their favorite band. Acknowledgements: -I would like to thank Angela Jackson-Brown for helping me throughout the semester. She was able to jump into a story that was already being told and help me create something I am really proud of. Sanford 3 Works Cited Hinton, S.E. The Outsiders. New York: Viking, 1967. Print.

Sanford 4 Author's Statement During my freshman year of college, I read a novel called The Year I Turned Sixteen by Diane Schwemm that had four separate stories told by four sisters. Each story was told in the point of view of one of the sisters. While each story had a different plot, the characters stayed the same throughout the entire novel.
