They blinded me with science!

Post your scientific article from the TP 3 assignment here. Include your name, your topic, and the title of the article. Then provide a link to the full article.

To make a clickable link, use the following format (just type it right into your comment window):

<a href="http://link-address-here.com">Clickable text here</a>

IMPORTANT NOTE: Please check to make sure your comment appears after you post it! (That is, reload the page and see if you can see it.) If it doesn't, or if you have technical difficulties while posting, please email me your link as a backup. I have to count this part late if I don't see your comment here or get email from you by 4 PM on Friday.

Here's a paper I found recently about observations of a nearby, fairly young star that is surrounded by dust and might be forming planets: Toward Understanding the Environment of R Monocerotis.

    1. Marco, your link doesn't seem to work -- check it? However, I suspect that this is not actually a scientific article written for scientists, because phys.org is a popular science website. If you scroll down to the bottom of the page you found, you will probably find a link to the original journal article. That's what I want you to use. Please repost when you find it.

    1. Jack, same comment as Marco above: you have found a report on the article, not the article itself. Go all the way to the bottom of this page and look for a link that says "Journal Reference."

    1. Matthew, this link is to the popular version of the article. You need the version that's linked at the bottom where it says "Journal Reference." Please repost with that link.

    1. Adam, this is the right kind of article, but I have two concerns about it. First, it's from 2005 (I am looking for papers from the last 5 years), and second, it's a draft article, not actually published (or at least this isn't the published version). Would you mind trying again?

    1. Is that Lauren? This isn't a scientific article, but a popular one. Unfortunately, I don't see a link anywhere to the published study, so I'm afraid you'll have to try to dig up something else. You want an article that was published in a scientific journal. Let me know if you need some suggestions.

    My article is about the observations being made on the moon by the Hubble Space Telescope. The purpose of these observations is to look for useful minerals that may be on the moon.

    1. Sabre, this is the right kind of article, but it's a little older than I was looking for, and also this is an unpublished version. I'm looking for something within the last 5 years, and I want you to work from the final published version. Please try again!
