Maria Larisa Paivastudent from Ceara only 16 years oldcompleted an astronomical analysis in which she singled out 1450 galaxies for Japan National Astronomical Observatory (known there as “Kokuritsu Tenmond“). And this was not the first time that Maria Larisa achieved impressive results, since it was she who owns the discovery of an asteroid – subsequently recognized NASA.

Astronomers have found a star with carbon and oxygen on the surface
Discovery sets new precedents for these stars

In the conversation given UOL portalthe teenager stated that she had devoted herself a lot since January, and explained a little about what is needed to produce this work, which includes procedures for analyzing specific characteristics such as luminosity, shape and wavelength of galaxies, as well as their size.

Despite the fact that the results obtained are relevant, so far everything has been achieved only by her work, without outside help – who recorded the data in special software for the project. How do you study third year of high schoolefforts were to be divided among the training procedures.

The practical use of the results may help scientists, who will be able to foresee some unusual phenomena, such as the collision of these mentioned systems. Galaxies classified by the so-called “employees” of the Japan Observatory, approved by the project participants Galaxy Cruise. An analysis ranking is available, used by the student to control the number of galaxies analyzed.

His interest in astronomy has been a part of his life since childhood when he watched the stars with his grandmother in Pires Ferreira, municipality in Ceara (Your hometown).

“One night my paternal grandmother, Mundinha, was sitting on the porch and I was playing in the yard. I approached her and asked if the stars had names. “I don’t know them all, daughter, but the name of those three is Maria. The Three Marys (called Orion’s Belt).”

Since her grandmother had no further knowledge on the topic, Maria Larissa kept asking other people and no one could satisfy her curiosity. Years later, he decided to search the Internet for answers, which led to the discovery of the title of the topic that interested him so much: astronomy.

As he delved deeper into the research, he realized that several issues needed to be sorted out in order to be able to move forward on this issue. knowledge about history as well as maths (among other things) are part of some fundamental concepts when one wants to start a career as an astronomer.

Recently in 2021the Brazilian met the so-called.Science Lab Project“, which allowed his first classifications. And this was the first step to make possible contact with the Japan Astronomical Observatory, a place responsible for providing a good infrastructure for those interested, providing images taken by the camera Hyper Suppression–camera along with a telescope Subaru.

The image of the Sun released by NASA is incredible and unlike anything you’ve ever seen

With the necessary funds to continue the discovery processes, the student was able to devote herself to analyzing the characteristics of galaxies, obtaining the results noted at the beginning of this article.
