This work has been selected for exhibition at the Royal Albert Hall in May 2008. Listen to the My DNA created by students from Park View Community School, Durham Community Business College and Sion-Manning RC Girls School with composer Duncan Chapman.
This is my DNA. My brother's is the same because we are identical twins...
The Cartwheel galaxy used to be like the Milky Way until it bumped into a nearby galaxy a few hundred million years ago. Rather like a rock tossed into a pond, the impact sent ripples of gas and dust outwards at great speed. The stars are created on the crest of the waves (the outer blue ring).

When I am in hospital they test sputum and they test it and it looks like the picture...
Around five cosmic rays pass through your head every second. Cosmic rays are high-energy particles from outer space. Exploded stars like this one – Tycho’s supernova, named after the Danish astronomer that discovered it, allow scientists to study places where cosmic rays are produced.

Just below your Adam’s apple is a special gland called the thyroid. Cells in the thyroid make a hormone that helps your body to convert oxygen and calories into energy. In the picture you can see big holes. These are follicles found in the thyroid gland.
The images I am using are "Human Thyroid gland" and "Millenium simulation" The reason i chose thisname because I an using purples and the image is in deep space. I chose these images because even though they are opposites they have few similarities likes shapes and structure.

Situated in the body, a system that allows fluids to enter and exit several organs. Like the comet that travels around the Sun, this organism helps bodily fluids bring life and energy, elevating the human soul. It is the very element of the substance that is the equivalent to gold to humans in our veins, like the empyrean Gods that dwells in the celestial sphere we call the sky...
How did these twin stars explode? The purple cat-shaped curiosity is over 160 000 light years away in a galaxy ten billion times the mass of our Sun. Astronomers call these explosions supernovas, and this one is DEM L316. They don’t know how it formed. The ‘body’ could have formed when a young, massive star exploded a few million years after its birth.

Your lungs can spread out across a tennis court and have around 1500 miles of tiny air sacs. As cells die they are replaced. Across the massive surface area of your lungs, there is considerable opportunity for the repair system to mess up. The CAT scan here pictured displays growths (top left hand side of the image) which are quite rare but can develop into cancer.
Bronchiolis is an exploded star that is over 12 light years across and always spreading out further. This is a great expanse of extremely hot gas. It produces the high energy particles called cosmic rays. On top of the expanding gas ball itself there are further reaching shockwaves, which give the supernova its name as they look similar to the weaving bronchioles within the human lung...
