The team examined the Spitzer Enhanced Imaging Products catalog to find the most unusual and faintest infrared excess objects serendipitously detected by the Spitzer Space Telescope.
I didn’t know just how much data is publicly available. Anyone can do astronomy – you just need to come up with a question and figure out how to use the archives.
This experience has forced me to look at something new and has inspired me to enrich and improve my classes.
After this experience, I’m more aware that beyond just teaching my students good science, my focus should be to prepare them for a career in science.
