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.
One of the most interesting things I learned while working with my team was how unique and surprising each star can be.
In its current form, anyone with moderate computer skills and high school physics can download, explore, and begin to understand available data.
By far, the most interesting part of my entire NITARP experience is the scientific method applied to the discovery process.
