Italians love the same sports and games that we do in America! My coworkers play board games and even meet for sessions of Dungeons and Dragons! Many famous board games like Catan have been translated into Italian and these are popular among university students.
Since I have been in Italy for about a month, my research work is becoming busier. I have downloaded all of the star data I will need from space telescopes and have begun to make plots demonstrating how fast the stars move in space, as well as how bright they are. My next steps are to look at more information of what these stars are made of, from a telescope located in Chile.
