Science Report For 5/13/2013
Our evaporation experiment was collected yesterday. The experiment did not
work to evaporate any of
the water. This may be due to the water not being heated up enough for it
to evaporate or it may be
do to the covering not being airtight and allowing any evaporated water to
escape. We are looking
at ways to modify the experiment in order to try to get better results. So
far we have not seen any
deformation to the 3D printed container.
Steffan also set up the camera for the telescope last night and he was able
to take pictures of
Saturn, comet C/2011 L4 PANSTARRS, the Ring Nebula, and the Whirlpool
Galaxy. However the photos
all turned out pretty streaky and out of focus so we will be adjusting the
settings and calibrating
the camera before trying again tonight to try to get better photos.
