Write a journal entry from the perspective of a particle of light, called a photon. Your story should follow the photon as it travels from a star in the Milky Way that is 25 light years away from Earth, all the way to the eye of a young person gazing up at the night sky through their bedroom window. Compose your entry in complete sentences. 2) Be sure to answer these questions in your journal entry: • How long was the journey to Earth? • How fast did you travel? • Was your speed affected when you entered Earth’s atmosphere? If so, how? • Was your speed affected when you traveled through the glass of the window? If so, how? • What was the journey like to get to the retina?
