The latest environmental occurrence everyone is talking about is the solar eclipse. Prior to the event happening, scientists used supercomputers to produce pictures of what they predict the sun’s corona would look like during the eclipse. If the pictures they produced are correct, weather and storms that happen in space could be detected easier by the scientists.

I really like how the article includes images of what the scientists believe the sun’s corona would look like during the eclipse. It allows the reader to get a sense of what scientists are able to do to bring their predictions to life.


I think that including quotes from different researchers and scientists also makes the article more interesting. It provides the readers with different facts and opinions of the individual who is quoted and allows the reader to truly connect with the story.

    This was not only informative but very interesting to read. Our scientists and research has come a long way in a short amount of time. Knowing what storms might be happening in space could lead to deeper research in space. This deeper research could lead to new discoveries and information on our solar system.

Dual-fuel vehicles

A recent study shows that dual- fuel vehicles are benefiting the population but, turns out they are costing the environment. While substituting gasoline for ethanol gases, it causes an increase of ultra fine particle matter, with a 30% increase of atmospheric concentration. The problem is that they are less then 50 nanometers in diameter. The nano particles are also not track or regulated by the environmental agencies. We inhale these gases everyday, inhaling ethanol. The most practical way to reduce greenhouse gases is using electric, hybrid and biofuel care.   https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2017/08/170828124546.htm

Acid Zone in Chesapeake Bay Found

     According to the University of Delaware, the Chesapeake Bay is becoming acidic as it has gone to 7.4 pH from an average of 8.2. The oxidation of ammonia and hydrogen sulfide may be the factor that is leading to the higher acidity levels in coastal oceans, but it can eventually lead to more of open oceans. Naturally the waters of the Chesapeake Bay have a regulatory system that holds back the increase of acidity levels in the area, and this works as the dissolving of living shells, non-living aragonite, and calcite minerals. Though nature has a path to keep the waters in the Chesapeake Bay, humans should take more care of our Earth as we have a role in polluting the water and rising the acidity levels in coastal oceans. https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2017/08/170828093737.htm
