In a well-written paper, summarize the personal life and scientific contributions of two<\/span> of the people listed below. This paper should be typed in standard academic format: one-inch margins, 12-point professional font, double-spaced, etc. Your paper should be at least three and no more than four pages<\/span> in total, and every sentence in your paper should serve a clear purpose. Don’t write filler. You’ll be graded on your writing style as well as on the content you present.<\/p>\n Write at least one full page<\/span> about each of the people you choose. Also include an introduction and a conclusion for the paper as a whole. Find a theme<\/span> that connects the people you choose. You’re encouraged to perform cursory searches for many people on the list until you discover astronomers whose research you can weave together into a coherent narrative.<\/p>\n Do not plagiarize.<\/span><\/a> This includes mosaic plagiarism<\/a>. <\/p>\n Use at least three<\/span> different reliable<\/span> sources for each<\/span> person. (Wikipedia is generally reliable in this case but is not appropriate to cite here, although you may find Wikipedia useful for locating other sources.) If appropriate, one source may be cited for both people, which means you’ll need at least five sources in total.<\/span><\/p>\n
