This
article was very interesting, and insightful. It talks about the rings of
energetic charged particles that float high above the Earth’s surface. Normally
there are two of these rings floating above Earth, and previous to last September,
scientists did not know there could be a different number of rings. Normally,
the inner-most ring in made mostly of protons and some electrons, and the outer
zone is dominated by electrons. On August 30, NASA launched twin space probes
to study the fine details of disruptions in these rings, and just days after
the probes were launched, researchers led by Daniel Baker watched a third ring
grow between the two existing ones. After a month, this ring disappeared, but
so did the outer ring, and in the following months the outer ring returned.
This
discovery provides some very important, previously unknown information about
these rings of high-energy particles. In
the words of Yuri Shprits of the University of California, “this most important
region of space where most of the satellites operate presents us with new
puzzles.” This discovery, and the monitoring of these rings by NASA’s space
probes, provide some extremely important information that will prevent the loss
of some satellites.
I
thought this article was very interesting, and was made pretty well. One thing
that I wish was done differently was that I would have liked there to be some
more information about the composition of the rings, and possibly a little more
information about the new ring that appeared. Overall, I liked how the information
in this article was presented, and I thought it was very informative.
My classmate Daniel wrote a review on the article “Radiation ring around Earth mysteriously appears, then dissipates”. It is a short but concise review that contains the most important information of the article. This makes the discovery clear and organized. Daniel also did a good job on explaining the reason why it’s an important discover. For example, he mentioned that it was “previously unknown information about these rings of high-energy particles”. He also wrote a good criticism of the article, I wished there were more information, such as how the rings look like and some hypothesis about the mysterious appearance and dissipation.
ReplyDeleteThere are few suggestions about the review that could make it more interesting. First, Daniel could talk about how the probes observing the rings. Personally, I also hope that there’s some background of the discovery of these rings, because I haven’t heard anything about these rings of earth. He could also search and add more information about the rings, more than it’s made of protons and electrons.
Over all, it’s a good review and I was surprised by these Earth’s rings. I hope the reasons of the existence of 3rd ring can be find out soon.
I read my classmate Daniel’s review on the article “Radiation ring around Earth mysteriously appears, then dissipates.” Daniel wrote a nice review that was easy to understand and contained only the most important information on the article. Even though his summary may have been short it contained a lot knowledgeable information. In addition, Daniel included a quote from Yuri Shprits of the University of California. Using a quote like this one allowed me to understand what scientists were hoping to get out of the probes sent to the rings, and the quote complemented the review very nicely.
ReplyDeleteAlthough Daniel wrote a good review there could be a couple of improvements made to it. He did not give that much detail on these rings and could have done more research on them. Also, I found the review to be a bit short. He could have added photos of these rings or data sent back from the probes making his write up more interesting.
Before reading this review I never knew that rings of energetic charged particles are float high above the Earth’s surface. Learning about this new information make me want to do more research on this topic
I read my classmate Daniels review on the article “Radiation Ring around Earth mysteriously appears, then dissipates”. Daniel did a great job explaining the article and containing really interesting information. One thing Daniel did great was explaining why these rings were such an important discovery. He also had good criticism of the article, which is important in a review. Along with the criticism he had added his opinion in the review in places where it was appropriate which I liked.
ReplyDeleteAlthough Daniel did a great job there is always room for improvement. One thing Daniel could improve is talking about the probes that observe the rings; I felt the description in that area was very vague. Daniel could also do a little more research on the rings I felt overall it was a hard concept to understand from reading the review.
Overall Daniel did a fantastic job with this review. I found it very interesting to read and was very surprised and fascinated by these rings that surrounded Earth.
I read my classmate Daniel's report on the article "Radiation Ring around Earth mysteriously appears, then dissipates". Daniel did a good job summarizing the article. He also gave interesting opinions on how the article could have been written better. I also enjoyed how Daniel integrated a quote into his writing. This really added to the summary by adding legitimacy to it.
ReplyDeleteEven though Daniel did a good job he still has areas to improve. Daniel could have done a better job including more detail to his sentences. I felt as though they were pretty broad. I also felt like he got the general idea across but it was hard to understand further.
Overall I enjoyed reading my classmate Daniels report and I learned about our Earth's Radiation Rings and energetic charged particles above earth's surface.
My classmate, Daniel, did a review of the article "Radiation Ring around Earth mysteriously appears, then dissipates." Daniel’s review of this article was quite thorough and explained the topic of the article well. One aspect of this review that was especially well presented by Daniel would be the way Daniel used and established his own voice and opinion on the article and the topic. Another would be his use of quoting the original article and scientists that actually studied the rings. Daniel also did a good job stressing the importance of the situation. Two things that could have made this review even better would be if Daniel had explained the actually back-story and situation a little bit more for the reader’s sake and Daniel also could have made the review a little bit longer and more rich in detail. The thing I found most interesting about this article, review and overall topic was that this information found recently by scientists will help them to save or prevent the loss of satellites.
ReplyDeleteMy classmate Daniel did a great job on his review of the article “Radiation ring around Earth mysteriously appears, than disappates. First, Daniel did a great job by adding a quote from a professor at University at California. This helped to give the review a new perspective, which would not have been felt without the quote. Another thing Daniel did well was give great detail. For instance, when he talks about the rings; “normally the inner-most ring is made mostly of protons and some electrons, and the outer zone is dominated by electrons.” Daniel’s article is just filled with detail that better explains the article. Another aspect Daniel did well was relating it back to today. For example, Daniel says the information is very important, and was not known beforehand. This information will prevent the loss of satellites. Although Daniel’s article was good, there are few things he could do to make it better. I found the review to be a bit short, and he could have added some pictures to show us more detail on these rings. Second, Daniel could have talked about the probes that observed these rings, because I was a bit confused about that part. However, I was very interested about these radiation rings. I learned that there are radiation rings above the Earth and surrounding it. Overall, Daniel did a great job on his review of this article.
ReplyDeleteMy fellow classmate Daniel did an exceptional job of his review of the article, "Radiation Ring around Earth mysteriously appears, then dissipates. Daniel's review had so many great qualities, such as his detail when describing the rings. Daniel stated that the inner ring is mostly made mostly of protons with some electrons. Daniel went on the state that the outer ring is dominated by electrons. Secondly, Daniel added a quote from the article so the reader could get a feel for the article. This greatly added to the review by giving it a new feel and perspective. Lastly, Daniel made a a good critique of the article by providing some criticism, but enough praise to make the reader want to read the article.
ReplyDeleteAlthough Daniel's review was good, he could do a few things better for next time. First off, Daniel should have added more of his own opinion to enhance the review. I found myself wondering how this discovery common people in Bronxville and if this discovery poses any consequences. Second, Daniel should have made his review a little bit longer because it was short. Daniel could have added a few more sentences explaining the process of which they were found or why the rings are disappearing.
Daniel's review of the article was very good and informative. For example, I learned that there are rings floating above the Earth. Also, I had no idea that the rings could fade in and out.
My peer Dan wrote a write up about an article that goes into depth on the rings of energetic charged particles that float high above Earth’s surface. One interesting fact about this article was how scientists did not know there could be a different number of rings. Normally, the inner-most ring in made mostly of protons and some electrons, and the outer zone is dominated by electrons. The second interesting fact was how in August NASA launched twin space probes to study the fine details of disruptions in these rings. The third fact that drew my eyes was how the monitoring of these rings by NASA’s space probes, provide some extremely important information that will prevent the loss of some satellites. Although it was a good write up I think da could have introduced the review with the article tittle. The second thing he could fix would be to add a little more info about the rings themselves. Overall, Dan’s review was very well done. The one thing I did not know that I learned what how that rings of energetic charged particles are float high above the Earth’s surface
ReplyDeleteI read my classmates review on the article, “Radiation ring around Earth mysteriously appears, then dissipates”. Through Daniels quick and informative review, he was able to summarize the article he read in the most detailed way that he could have with the short given information. Secondly, Daniel also included a direct quote from Yuri Shprits of the University of California who provided a scientific perspective about the rings with high-energy particles. This quote helps the reader of the review have a better understanding of how an actual scientist would feel with this new, insightful information about something spectacular right outside our planet. Daniel’s critique of the article was one hundred percent true when he stated that the article he choose had little information and needed background knowledge for people to understand more clearly. Although Daniel wrote a great review, one thing I would recommend for his next written review would be to include the link to the article he wrote about. This would be helpful for the reader because during a summary, not all of the details are given, which could lead to some confusion about the topic. Also, a longer article with better information would make writing the review and reading it easier and more enjoyable. Before reading this article about ring of energetically charged particles that are above Earths surface, I had no idea they even existed. Though these rings do disappear on occasion, I have never read an article before this talking about these rings. Finding this new information out made me very interested in this topic and makes me want to do research to find out more about it in greater detail. Overall, I thought that Daniels review of this article was very well presented and brought new light to something I might want to read more about.
