Welcome to the UP Science Fair!

Hello and welcome to the UP Science Fair. This project that you see before you is known as the Milky Way Project (MWP). For the past few weeks we have been working on this project and this is all that has happened.

Our research question is is How does the Galactic Lonitude and Latitude affect a Bubble's Radius? A bubble is a birth place of star and the particals and gasses that are spreaded out throughout the area by wind. Our hypothesis is that we came up with is that we believe the positioning of will greatly affect its size do to the space/atmosphere. And after reviewing the results this is what we came up with:

This is one plot made using python/codeing as a way to create or do things like the plot you see above and more. This plot is of a the "Bubbles in the Milky Way by the Effective Radius" and what this plot shows is all the bubbles found in a small portion of our galaxy with our sun  being a the very center (0,0), the Galactic Center being to the far right fo the plot, and the Anti-Galactic Center being to far left.

This Plot is a more generic version of the plot before this with not as much detail. This is a plot of all the bubbles in the Milky Way Galaxy that we have view of. This provides a visual representation of the total amount of bubbles found in that area using the same varibles used in the previous plot on the left.
