About Me

"Astronomy? Impossible to understand and madness to investigate." -Sophocles, c. 420 BCE

Greetings, earthlings! I come in peace!

A view of my "home planet" from Google Maps. The school actually looks a lot cooler, I promise!

See! I told you!

I'm Nia Moreno, and I'm a rising senior at Walter Payton College Prep. I'm really excited to be a part of the C-WAYS Research Team! I've always been extremely interested in science and research, so this project is an amazing opportunity for me!

When I'm not spending my time stargazing, I enjoy traveling, taking pictures, writing and listening to music, playing with my cats, and volunteering at the Animal Welfare League.

One of my favorite images of outer space - this gorgeous ultraviolet image was recorded by NASA's Swift Satellite and is the highest resolution image ever made of the Andromeda Galaxy at ultraviolet wavelengths.

"There is in the universe neither center nor circumference." -Giordano Bruno, on the infinite universe and worlds, 1584
