This virtual team collects all independent research presented in 2015, and done by NITARP or Spitzer alumni with (or without) students outside of a formal NITARP team.
I’m thinking I’ll have my 6th graders each do a project on an observatory in our astronomy unit. There are so many!
My highlight of the [Caltech] trip was watching my two students present data on a source which they had analyzed.
One of the things I love about astronomy is the very fact that we are not laboratory-bound scientists. Our lab is the universe, a constantly changing petri dish in the sky, so to say, and if you aren’t looking, you miss it!
