Yashraj Patil- Mentoring a Superstar!

a shareable image to advertise Yashraj's presentation

As part of the NASA Earth Science Education Collaborative (NESEC), Dorian Janney and Brian Campbell recently had the pleasure of mentoring a rising GLOBE Superstar: Yashraj Patil. Yashraj is an engineer from India who reached out to Dorian at the annual GLOBE Meeting this past summer. After hearing about the amazing Himalayan Expedition that he was about to embark upon (https://arcg.is/1SHbzu), Dorian and Brian met with him and gave him guidance for which GLOBE protocols he might use to collect data while he was gathering other data for this opportunity. After the trip, he worked closely with Dorian and Brian to find effective ways to communicate the results of his amazing adventures with others. He has continued to show incredible initiative and was invited to present to several different audiences, most recently to his IT company, Hexaware Technologies. (Science Acttivation Award No. NNX16AE28A)

The image is divided horizontally by an undulating line between a cloudscape forming a nebula along the bottom portion and a comparatively clear upper portion. Speckled across both portions is a starfield, showing innumerable stars of many sizes. The smallest of these are small, distant, and faint points of light. The largest of these appear larger, closer, brighter, and more fully resolved with 8-point diffraction spikes. The upper portion of the image is blueish, and has wispy translucent cloud-like streaks rising from the nebula below. The orangish cloudy formation in the bottom half varies in density and ranges from translucent to opaque. The stars vary in color, the majority of which have a blue or orange hue. The cloud-like structure of the nebula contains ridges, peaks, and valleys – an appearance very similar to a mountain range. Three long diffraction spikes from the top right edge of the image suggest the presence of a large star just out of view.
