They Might Be Giants are using data from the Kepler mission to classify the brightness changes of giant stars in an effort to understand how the observed brightness variations of giant stars may relate to the different stages of giant star evolution.
Real astronomy involves being able to problem solve and think critically, apply process skills, and communicate effectively.
I can't begin to tell you what a wonderful experience this week was for me and my students. The skills and knowledge we all picked up were great.
While a lot of astronomy is done by computer, nothing compares to having a human look over the data.
