Alright, I am wondering when you look up into the sky, which star in Sagitarius appears to be closest to the galactic center? It's a question on my astronomy homework and I can't seem to find it.
I'm not talking about being literally the closest to the center, it would get sucked into the dusty cloud at the center that we are unable to see into clearly, so from a viewing from earth standpoint, which is the closest?

Shrimp fishing off the coast to Georgia was closed in 2001 due to a drastic reduction in the shrimp population. Captain Forsyth, a local shrimper, suspects that increased salinity has killed the shrimp larvae. Three years of drought and greatly reduced freshwater flow from underground aquifiers resulted in increased salinity in the coastal estuaries. These habitats between open ocean and fresh water are the "nurseries" for many marine animals.

Design an experiment to determine the range the range of salt concentration that can be tolerated by shrimp larvae.

i heard that there is a slim chance, but it has happened where women get pregnant by themselves. the egg drops down and uses a part of the women's DNA to create a "baby", although, not a perfect fetus, it does have some limbs and features of a human,but has to be taken out of the mother and die shortly after. have you heard of such a thing? if so, explain all you know about it. thanks
