Meet Emerald from the U.S.A. (Regional Winner, The Americas, 17 - 18 year olds)

Emerald suggests that galaxies might form in a similar way to snowflakes. She wants to test how snowflakes form in the absence of gravity to better understand the link between them and other complex shapes like galaxies. Will these tiny structures give us the answers to some of our biggest questions about the Universe? Find out more at http://youtube.com/spacelab and watch her entry here: http://goo.gl/1PviY.

what about hispanics, pacific islanders, Indians, and Native Americans? It's annoying when people complain about a certain race, especially when it is something that has to do with many races, and race is completely irrelevant.

would've loved to see this but noo they chose spiders, disgusting little creatures that may evolve into something worse while being up there, instead of snowflakes, pure innocent and pretty flakes of snow that i have never seen in my whole life since i live in Florida.

in regards to my previous comment ( the Egyptian guy won anyways :P ) ... first of all I don't know why people keep telling me I'm 30 when I'm only 17 :D . maybe I entered it wrong on my profile :D . anyway ... I didn't mean to offend anyone and I was just saying how proud I am of the egyptian guy coz I'm egyptian myself :D ... so stop telling me I'm hateful or petty , I think you people are over reacting LIKE CRAZY !!
