Greetings, earthlings! I come in peace!
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.
