INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Take regular and advanced classes in these subjects. Work hard and earn high marks in these classes, as this will give you a good foundation for the study of astronomy. If you struggle to do well in these subjects, you may hire a tutor to help you get better grades. You can also join a study group to help you earn better marks in these subjects. Take a four year degree in science, majoring in astronomy or physics. This degree will teach you key skills and prepare you for a career as an astronomer.  Some universities will offer a degree specialization in astrophysics, which is a mix of astronomy and physics. Speak to an academic advisor for advice on which universities to apply to. You may apply to your local university or college. Or you may earn your degree in a university that is out of state or in a different city. Pick a university that offers a good bachelor’s program in science and good financial aid. Most astronomers have a master’s degree in science as well as an undergraduate degree. This degree can take at least two years to complete. Getting a master’s degree will allow you to take specialized classes on astronomy, physics, and math. You will also get a chance to do research in the field. As part of your master’s degree, you will also write a master's thesis that explores a specific topic or idea in astronomy. Doing a Ph.D gives you the opportunity to study a particular area of astronomy, such as radio, solar, cosmos, or galactic astronomy.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Whisk the egg yolks, salt, powdered sugar, and lemon juice together by hand or using an electric mixer.  You could also use a blender or food processor instead of an electric mixer. Only use the egg yolks for this recipe, not the entire egg. Separate the yolks by capturing them in their shells as the egg whites drain or by running them through an egg separator. Whisk or blend thoroughly to combine.  Add the oil in a slow, steady stream to prevent the texture from turning clumpy. Pour the oil in through the hole in the lid of your food processor or blender. If using a whisk or electric mixer, hold the bowl steady by keeping a dish towel under it. Use one hand to pour the oil and the other to blend or whisk it in. Blend after each addition to incorporate the remaining oil before adding more. As before, you need to make sure the oil gets blended in fairly consistently as you add it. Whisk or blend the vinegar in, combining well. This is essentially a simple mayonnaise. Set the mixture aside and press on with the rest of the dressing. Whisk the ingredients together rapidly until well combined. You do not need a food processor, blender, or electric mixer for this step. Heat the water over medium-high heat for a few minutes until it reaches a boil. Add the cornstarch mixture and cook.  Stir or whisk the mixture continuously as it cooks. Continue cooking until the mixture has a smooth, pudding-like consistency. Do not let it get thicker than this. Blend or whisk well to combine. You can either whisk the mixture by hand or use your blender, food processor, or electric mixer. Sprinkle these seasonings into the dressing and gently mix them in with a spoon or spatula to incorporate them. Let it cool inside the refrigerator before using. Store the dressing inside the refrigerator when not in use. It should stay fresh for a few days to a week.

SUMMARY: Blend the first four ingredients. Slowly drizzle in 1 cup (250 ml) oil. Gradually add the remaining 1/2 cup (125 ml) of oil. Add 2 Tbsp (30 ml) of vinegar. Mix the cornstarch, dry mustard, and remaining vinegar in a separate bowl. Boil 1 cup (250 ml) water in a small saucepan. Slowly add the hot cornstarch mixture to the mayonnaise mixture. Fold in the paprika and garlic powder. Store the dressing in an airtight container.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: If you've just washed your hair, wait until it's completely dry to work on your Farrah Fawcett locks. This is important as you'll be using a curling iron.

You want to make sure your hair is relatively tangle free so you'll be able to easily section and handle it throughout the process. Opt for a mouse that is volumizing and provides heat protection. The mousse will help your hair set as you curl it and the heat protectant is vital when curling your hair. It will help protect your hair from becoming damaged during the process. If you don't have mousse, or prefer not to use it, it's okay to simply use a heat protectant. However, while you can forego mousse, never forego the heat protectant as you do not want to damage your hair curling it. A staple of the '70s style is a middle part. Before you begin curling your hair, part it roughly in the middle of your head. This will help your hair really emulate Farrah Fawcett's. Separate the upper half of your hair using your fingers. Then, secure this hair with a clip. You will be curling your hair in sections to achieve Farrah Fawcett locks.

SUMMARY:
Make sure your hair is dry. Brush out your hair. Apply mousse with a built in heat protectant. Part your hair in the center. Clip up the top part of your hair.
