Week 10EC: Wikipedia Trails: Pandava to

I looked more into the Pandava brothers on Wikipedia. I specifically looked at Arjuna who is the third Pandava brother. His name means earning and that he a very virtuous person. He is very focused and has complete devotion to Krishna. My second page was completely devoted to Arjuna himself. In pop culture and modern references, he is mentioned a decent amount. The name Arjuna is a popular name for many Hindu male children. There is also a series of asteroids that are named after Arjuna. The Arjuna Award is presented to a male athlete every year for their achievement. Lastly Arjun is the name of a third generation battle tank in the Indian Army. The third page I looked at was the Arjuna asteroids. They are a dynamic group of asteroids in the solar system. They are near Earth objects whose orbit is very earth like. They have low inclination and periods that are similar to earth. The fourth page I looked up was near earth objects. They are object that orbit earth closely. It is considered a NEO is its closet orbit comes within 1.3 astronomical units of the sun. NEO are considered dangerous if their width is larger than 140 meters.

Introduction to Casey Buller not Bueller

Hi, my name is Casey Buller. I am currently a fourth year and graduate this spring! My major is Chemical Biosciences with a minor in Religious Studies.

I've always enjoyed science and the knowledge it provides humans to explain the intricacies of this world. I have always been interested in religion and it is more of just a "for fun" thing for me to do so I am not constantly bombarded with science course; I have some variety in my life.

Currently, I am reading Crime and Punishment  by Fyodor Dostoevsky and The Prince of Medicine: Galen in the Roman Empire  by Susan P. Mattern. They're really gre

Favorite Places

My two favorite places that I will be discussing are the Colorado Rocky Mountains and Central Park in NYC. Backpacking is just one of my many hobbies and I recently took a trip to the Rocky Mountains and backpacked for a week there. It was absolutely fantastic! There is nothing like camping and being outdoors away from all the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Heaven is truly a place on earth when you're outdoors.  This is a picture of Hallett Peak and Dream Lake. (Hallett Peak and Dream Lake: NPS ) From my trip to NYC over the summer, Central Park was one my favorite places. It was amazing to me that in such an active city, there were still places that you could go that made you feel like you weren't in the city. It was also cool to see so many people taking advantage of the public space doing all sorts of activities. Whenever I go back to NYC, Central Park will be a definite go to place to visit again. Here is one of the many pictures that I took of Central Park.
