Aow Impressions Blog

Aow Impressions blog reflection
Michael Hoover

   This week I learned a lot from the articles that my piers chose to talk about for the Aow gallery walk. The thing that was chosen the most common was the Baltimore riot's usually about the "Baltimore Riot Mother." Another thing that got picked a couple of times was the Nepal earth quake which affected a lot of people.

   One thing that I found Interesting that I learned this week was that mercury had a man made satellite named the messenger that was gathering data about the planet mercury and what happened was as it was orbiting around mercury the messenger ran out of gas to be able to stay in orbit. so what  they had to use was helium as extra fuel which gave the messenger an extra week of orbit and then the spacecraft finally ran out of air and plumped at about 1,786 miles per hour to the surface of mercury. It was okay because they gathered all of the information that they wanted or needed to have to make more discoveries about that planet.

 Another thing that I found interesting from the articles this week was the cause of the baltimore riots which was a man was arrested for having a knife so they took him in a truck and threw him around and then he died from hitting his head to much. The reason that I found this interesting was because all of the police officers in that truck got charged with murder and they all lost their job because the baltimore riots influenced the decision of the court.
