Setbacks appeared frequently throughout my life in high school. Very few of those memories, however, have been retained in my mind. They were all small, yet fixable, complications that took little effort to overcome. I would always have time to do whatever I pleased, as homework was either completed at school or finished briefly at home. Never had I experienced a mental breakdown that was induced by intense stress or a low class grade. During the previous school year, AP Chemistry showed me a completely

The study of the universe’s measurements has intrigued astronomers as early as 250 BC, when the astronomer Aristarchus of Samos was the first to attempt to find the distance from Earth to the Sun by mathematical means (Charbonneau, 2008). He reasoned that since the angular size of the Sun and Moon are the same, that the Sun was 18-20 times larger than the Moon. Although scientists now know that these calculations are incorrect, Aristarchus’s trigonometric method was the first to set the relative
