Connecting and Sharing with Students and Teachers
About This Blog
I thought it might be fun to have a small online space to have thought-provoking discussions, random conversation, and a place to share, teach, and learn with and among my students and colleagues. In the classroom, we are always so busy completing tasks, projects, and assignments that we barely have time to talk. So this blog is an extension of the classroom . . . a place for me to offer you something to ponder, investigate, or solve, and for you to respond, react, or retort . . . or vice versa. I throw out something of interest and you comment. We’ll build a connected dialog that will give you a chance to use your skills beyond the normal classroom stuff. So let the blog begin here . . .

Gliese 581 c is believed to be a rocky planet of 50% greater radius than Earth. It is one of the planets that orbit Gleise 581.
Gliese 581 is an M2.5V red dwarf star located 20.40 light years away from Earth. It is about two degrees north of Beta Librae, the brightest star in the constellation Libra. Its mass is estimated to be approximately a third that of the Sun.
I actually didn't know there were other stars with their own planetary orbitary system. That is pretty neat!!!
