This virtual team collects all independent research presented in 2012, and done by NITARP or Spitzer alumni with students outside of a formal NITARP team. Two different teams presented posters in 2012.
This experience has completely changed my once shallow view of astronomy and astronomers.
Real astronomy isn’t just looking through telescopes with the naked eye anymore. It is really being accurate and precise and a lot of computer mathematics.
NITARP has been the best experience I have ever had for my personal and professional development as an astronomy educator.
