Search iN AfGl 490 (SNAG490) will be looking for young stellar objects (YSOs) in AFGL490.
Astronomers, all of whom are scientists, can be personal, funny, and outright social beings.
To me what stood out [at my first AAS] was the wide variety of work – from characterization of the structure of the Milky Way (more of a challenge than I ever knew!) to the search for and characterization of exoplanets to the understanding of how quasar evolution relates to the origins of the Universe.
I actually felt like I was able to accomplish something that would have some meaning to the scientific community.
