NASA All-Stars Summer program is an adventure!
There is an old saying, 'You learn something new every day." Well, that statement is so true. Today my colleague Ms Wetzel had a interesting conversation with NASA All-Stars program director, Dr. Don York, about citations. During this conversation she learned something very interesting: Astronomers use their own citation style. Yes, there is a citation style used specifically by Astronomers! Interesting right? After a little research, she found the American Astronomical Society's website and found a guide sheet to assist the students with their citations.
The video below is a short iMovie I created that kind of represents the type of day we had. It's just for fun!
By the way, since I'm on the topic of citations, here's a cool article about citing Tweets posted on Twitter I found a couple of months ago:
