Search iN AfGl 490 (SNAG490) will be looking for young stellar objects (YSOs) in AFGL490.
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!
For me, [this project] was a real partnership between scientists and educators. All questions and suggestion were taken seriously and with respect.
I also really like helping new teachers, let them share what they know fill in gaps, help them feel included and not overwhelmed. I want to do more of this, and need to find ways to direct this more effectively in my school and district.
