But with my helpful partner, Sam, I was a pro in no time. Well, I understood it. One of my favorite steps when looking at these images taken from all sorts of different telescopes was the aperture slice function. You would have to line up the "X slice" and the "Y slice needed to be lined up in order to make accurate data. After a while, Becca and I started showing eachother our perfect aperture slice graphs in pride.

makes sense now why this is so. Research is not strictly planned. It's
something you develop along the way. Along with the Spitzer project, we
visited JPL (Jet Propulsion Labortory). This half a day trip was very
exciting to all of us. We some the "Clean Room." This is where the
rovers are built that they send to mars. We saw Mission Control Room as
