Astronomy 2 Article

1. Which article did you read? I read "Scientist Pinpoint The 'Edge of Space'" article.

2. When was it published? It was published April 10, 2009.

3. What are 3 things you learned? I learned "scientists have created a new instrument that is able to track transition between the relatively gentle winds of Earth's atmosphere and the more violent flows of charged particles in space." An instrument launched from Alaska was able to help find the so-called edge of space. And, "The Canadian Space Agency invested $422,000 in the development of the Supra-Thermal Ion Imager instrument."

4. What are 2 things you found interesting? I found it interesting that someone actually built an instrument to go to space and help find the edge of space, and I found it interesting on how much money they spent on the instrument.

5. What is 1 question you still have? How did they come up with the theory that there is an edge of space.
