Miles found Astronomy very interesting. Stars, galaxies and astrologists. He would have loved to spend his time looking through a huge telescope and naming the constillations. Still, he found himself only at the beginning of this massive career ... in Astronomy class. Which, he wasn't complaining about. With his bag on his bag, Miles walked in and nodded at the professor. He then found a nice stop by a small window, where he would follow the instructions to make a sort of potion. Oh, so no looking at stars? Maybe next time. Feeling a little bit let down, Miles began to follow step one.

He picked up the garbage bag and cut it open, he then place it inside the bowl and round the edges. He wondered if this wasn't to dirty the bowl, it wasn't that amazing. Miles shrugged, and continued. He poured the right amount of water in and smiled. It was coming along nicely, nothing was spilling, or leaking, he saw that as a plus. Ok, so sand or dirt, Miles chose sand, it was nicer. He added this to his mixing bowl and continued to add a dash of ammonia and dark corn syrup.

Miles put on his working gloves as he picked up the dry ice and placed in the garbage bags, he did this 3 times. And now for the sorting of this dry ice. Cool.

Quote:

1. 7. Crush dry ice by pounding it with a hammer.
2. 8. Add the dry ice to the rest of the ingredients in the mixing bowl while stirring vigorously.
3. 9. Continue stirring until mixture is almost totally frozen.
4. 10. Use gloves - Lift the comet out of the bowl using the plastic bag and shape it as you would a snowball.
5. 11. Unwrap the comet as soon as it is frozen sufficiently to hold its shape.
6. 12. Place the comet on a paper plate.

Miles still had his gloves on, and his grin spread across his face as he picked up the hammer and smashed the dry ice. Woo! That was so worth it. He hadn't smashed up something in a while, and he was very destructive when he was a child. After this he added the rest of the ingredients and began to stir. Miles still didn't understand why they were doing this, he really couldn't see how this was to do with Astronomy. He lifted ... whatever it was, out of the bowl, just as the instructions said and shaped it. He unwrapped it and placed it on the paper plate as ordered. Hmm, it looked quite familiar, like a large rock or something. Miles glanced up at the instructions again and smiled. "Oooooh!" It said what it was on the board. Duh. He'd just made a comet!
