Percy Jackson Lightning Theif

Percy Jackson Lightning Theif: By Andrew Rich

In the series, Percy Jackson starts out as a normal kid with HDHD and disciplinary issues until one day he learns that he is a demigod (half-god, half-human).  He is taken to camp half-blood to learn about his heritage and get caught up with the hidden world.  He was given the name Percy after the greek hero and founder of Mycenae Perseus.  I think that while it is obviously unrealistic for this time, the way that they incorporate the myths into modern society is well done.  I also think that they create a good balance of ancient myth and recent fabrication to create a novel where you are able to see into both worlds through one set of eyes.

Poseidon (Satellite)

Poseidon: By Ethan Weinger


Poseidon is a satellite mission that was launched on August 10, 1992. It was named after the Greek God Poseidon, as it was an ocean mission, so it made sense naming it after a God of the ocean. It became the first big oceanographic research satellite, and I believe it could be one of the most important satellite missions of all time. It has completely changed how scientists see the ocean and could be the greatest ocean test of all time. It helped scientists be able to measure sea levels, measure the sea temperature, and have helped them understand what is causing global climate change. Poseidon's data has been used by 2,1000 research publications. Overall, the Poseidon helped do the impossible and has a serious case for being one of the most crucial satellite missions of all time.
