So, today was kinda neat. I was in the library basement doing a bit of rummaging around when I happened upon the most recently aquired issue of The Astrophysical Journal. I used to read articles from that magazine all the time in high school, and I've used it a few times for research while here. Anyway, I decided to give it a look. In the table of contents, I read "Reflections of Active Galactic Nucleus Outbursts in the Gaseous Atmosphere of M87." This was an intriguing title for an article, but what really caught my interest was one of the names the article was accredited to: Dr. Jean Eilek, of NMT. I had to look it over.

The article only provides more support (as far as I could tell; I didn't read through it all just yet) for an idea I proposed in my English 112 class freshman year. I may have been on to something; if I could talk to her at some point, I might be able to formulate some sort of actual concrete research on this front. This excitement helped get me through the rest of the day. ^^;

Wait, you read The Astrophysical Journal in high school? That's, uh, not exactly light reading! Less of a 'magazine' and more 'scientific publication at the forefront of current astronomy research'.

Impressive, though. :)

Well, I had no way of getting a subscription (the school didn't have one; I was reading it online), so I was only reading the much older stuff, and even then it was only maybe a total of five articles ever. ^^;
