Get your cameras ready.  Tonight is the supermoon.  The first and only supermoon in 2017 (there will be two more in January 2018).

Even though this has nothing to do with cells, microscopes or cell transport, I still think it is totally cool science.  I want you to take a picture, time lapse video, or even try to get artsy and get a cool horizon picture.  The best viewing will be at the moon rise and moon set.  I would like you to put your picture in a Google Document and put the link to your Google Document in your post.  If you are on social media, post your picture with #cnnweather and #supermoon and #werclc.  In order to get on the WGN news, upload your pictures to WGN.

So this is another easy blog post, but you will get the best shot if you do it tonight.  Good luck.  I can't wait to see your photos.

If you missed the supermoon last night, you can still do the blog post.  Find a cool picture that someone else took of the supermoon and post the site.

Holiday Photos

What if people sent electron microscope pictures instead of holiday cards?  I guess it wouldn't be quite as nostalgic and you wouldn't see how much your cousins have changed in that year that they were off at college.  However, electron microscope images are super cool. Below is a cool SEM image of a snowflake.

Here is a cool TEM image of a small pox virus.  Remember TEM images are 2-D images of the inside of an object with greater magnification than the SEM.

Your assignment this week is to find one really cool electron microscope image.  It can either be SEM (will be 3-D and show the outside of an object) or TEM (2-D and the inside of an object).  Please put the link in your response since blogger won't allow you to insert pictures.  In your response, explain what your image is, what type of microscope, total magnification if possible and why you like it.  Post early, because I don't want any repeats if possible.  So be sure to look at the pictures that have been posted before you.
