Search iN AfGl 490 (SNAG490) will be looking for young stellar objects (YSOs) in AFGL490.
It was very satisfying to be able to converse with the grad students about their science and actually understand what they were talking about.
Because of NITARP my teaching has grown for the better. The entire project really made me appreciate and re-evaluate the scientific process. I was amazed by the support and well organized lines of communication, and found a new level of respect for Google Sheets.The number of connections I have made with other astronomy and physics teachers has really helped me find new and interesting ways to make physics more relevant to students.
My robotics students are very wowed by the fact that I met a flight director for the Mars Curiosity Rover.
