C-CWEL (Continuing Cool WISE ExpLoration of BRC 38): Continuing on some work started by the C-WAYS team last year, this team is using Wide-Field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) infrared images to search for newly forming stars in bright rimmed cloud (BRC) 38.
I have been in education for 4 decades and this one program has given me more confidence in teaching space science than any college training I ever did.
My robotics students are very wowed by the fact that I met a flight director for the Mars Curiosity Rover.
I am gaining in confidence as to my ability to understand, contribute to the study, and the data we will be using.
