I had a college meeting with Ms. Sellers this morning, so I didn’t get into the lab until about noon. That was alright though, and I was finally able to pick up my parking pass and get to work on the comet section of my research paper. In exploring the comet data sets in OpenSpace, I came across an interesting astronomical concept known as Tisserand’s Parameter.
Tisserand’s Parameter is known to be a measure of the orbital motion of an object flying through space (usually used for a comet or asteroid) in relation to a larger body (usually Jupiter, designated T subscript J). This parameter is dimensionless and takes into account orbit eccentricity, object inclination, and the orbit’s semi-major axis. For the most part, Tisserand’s Parameter remains constant for an object/small body (comets and asteroids are known as small bodies) lifetime. Anyways, I thought that was really interesting and I’m trying to work it into my paper because I think it’s a fun concept to explain. 
Also I have attached two pictures: one of me in the lab, and the other of me on the bridge between NEC (Natural Exploration Center, more exhibit focused, interactive wing of the museum) and NRC (Natural Research Center, wing of the museum where all the research is done and labs are. I work in NRC).
