Today we reviewed the Assignment that Jared prepared over the holidays on the Solar System. His assignment is in PowerPoint format. Jared did an excellent job of organizing all the information we had gone over before the break into very neat slides. For each slide, he managed to insert one to two pieces of new information, i.e. stuff that we had not covered in class. His initiative in this respect was amazing! Jared also mentioned that he would like to continue working on the presentation in the days to come, and I thought it was an excellent idea. We concluded class by reviewing the theory of circular orbits, and calculated Earth's orbital period based on the equations. We will continue with various aspects of orbital mechanics in the next couple of classes.
