  Thanks for the question!
  
  I think the search for life on Mars (and elsewhere) is very interesting! As a biologist it would be really interesting to see what life looks like on another planet, even if it is just bacteria. Would they have DNA? Would they use the same chemicals as us to build themselves? It makes me very, very curious!

  I’m most interested in nebulas where stars are created. By studying these stellar nurseries we’ve come up with a pretty good idea about how our own sun was created. When a star is born the whole nebula lights up as if to announce it. Nebulas can also be the last evidence of a star that exploded in the past. You can also get dark nebulas which are hidden from view as if they had an invisibility cloak.
  
  Pictures of nebulas inspired me to learn about science.
