              For this post, i studied animal behavior and read about the Anthropomorphism article posted in on the homepage. I think that goes hand in hand with the videos i watched on dog behavior. Throughout the study of the dogs behavior, they tend to be smarter than the average human even though they are taught simple commands by humans. One in particular example of this is in one of the videos, Neil DeGrasse Tyson tested the intelligence of one of the worlds smartest dogs in a memorization exercise. the dog was to find the stuffed animal Tyson calls by name and the dog ends up doing so. to further prove the hypothesis was indeed a fact, Tyson included a new stuffed animal that the dog has never seen or heard of before and was told to find it. After sometime passes, the dog eventually finds the stuffed animal. An argument could be made that there could have been some help from the owner or a person nearby but after showing the cameras on the side of where the stuffed animals were,

 One thing i noticed about the demographics of the zooniverse is that the researchers can be anyone in particular so i think that anyone can participate in the zooniverse projects. I think this might be the science with the least amount of projects because it mainly sounds like a volunteer position for research. The topic i chose was from the climate section and it dealt with Snow Spotting.  While researching about this topic, i found it to be interesting because in my topic i was given three photos that i had to examine and to me they all looked the same but there was some differences among them. There was barely any snow in the first picture and then it looked like rain in the second picture and then in the third picture it was sunny. The research concluded that forests can intercept 60% of total annual snowfall and 25-45% of the intercepted snow can be lost from the watershed back to the atmosphere through sublimation.               I think for someone who is interested in cloud-sp

   The reason why i chose this picture is because i was amazed at how you can view a full moon while looking at the clouds during the day. In the image portrayed, i like how the artist captured the essence of the painting and added some pastel color. I read that the painting is from 19th century Japan and the painting is called Moon in Clouds. This painting distinguishes itself from others because this is a perfect representation of clouds forming together then separating to reveal a full moon in the blue sky like it is normal. Since we are so used to seeing full moons at night, it is refreshing looking at this and letting our imaginations wonder what if full moons were to occur during the day and visible as much as clouds are.  I chose this painting because i have never seen a type of sky like this except in movies or video games. This image differs from the image i chose mainly because the clouds are separated but are a different color thanks to the sun setting also there is no

   For this blog, i spotted how the clouds were looking like on Wednesday (9/27) and noticed that there were barely any clouds. one part of the sky was dark and the other was showing a cloud that was moving slowly. a scientific observation i have about this cloud is that it when it is raining or snowing outside, the clouds will form one big cloud and just move together and when it is sunny, the clouds will separate and form a shape that can make a person think what kind of image is being portrayed in the sky. I was able to fit in this cloud spotting during my break from class and it seems in my opinion to work out for me because i wasn't aware of this type of behavior that clouds exhibit when the weather changes. This type of cloud in a sense to me acts like the way some animals (Ants mainly) act like when the season changes. This is kind of similar to watching the stars and constellations at night but the difference is that you are only able to spot clouds in the morning/after
