Near space photographic weather balloon. In conjunction with Mr. Clapper’s Honors Chem class, and Mr. mccauley, we expanded on a recent MIT experiment and send a weather balloon into near space equipped with a camera (that the electronics students hacked into to take time laps photos), and real time gps tracking. We were able to take photos of near space and the curvature of the earth *End story for the space balloon- After about 58 minutes of flight time the balloon landed in Hickory, about an hour and a half away by car. We were able to track the landing using the gps on the cheap track phone and used Google Map to se photos of the yard where the balloon had landed. We drove out to find the owner of the property not home and the balloon 75 ft up in a tree in his back yard. We fashioned a long pole (12 ft?) out of pool cues, meter sticks, and duct tape we had in the car and I climbed up the tree with the pole. We were unable to retrieve it on the first attempt and had to drive out to a hardware store to buy a hook to tape to the end of the pole. We retrieved the balloon without the resident ever knowing we were there or that many Christ School students had been looking at his back yard via Google Earth.

rock in the form of silicon monoxide gas and the melted rock as a glassy substance called obsidian. On Earth silica can be found around volcanoes in black glassy rocks called obsidian and around meteor craters in small rocks called tektites. Shock waves from the collision can be seen traveling through the planet throwing rocky rubble into space. Spitzer also detected the signatures of this rubble. The final result is a skinned planet stripped of its outer layers. The core of the smaller …
