Project Galileo aims to provide a curriculum resource for Science and Technology at Key Stages 3 & 4 and AS/A2 levels, including ICT & Design & Technology courses at post-16 level, to inspire teenagers to "learn the art as well as science of research and research teams, how scientific research is practiced, how physical ideas become mainstream, how collaboration between scientific disciplines ...
[10] [11] [12] Red band sources for the southern sky include the short red (SR) plates of the SERC I/SR Survey and Atlas of the Milky Way and Magellanic Clouds (referred to as AAO-SR in DSS2), [13] the Equatorial Red (SERC-ER), [5] and the F-band Second Epoch Survey (referred to as AAO-SES in DSS2, AAO-R in the original literature), [14] all ...
Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) is a space telescope for NASA's Explorer program, designed to search for exoplanets using the transit method in an area 400 times larger than that covered by the Kepler mission. [6]
KAS Telescope in the southern equatorial room is a 20 in (510 mm) f/8 Ritchey–Chrétien reflector and German equatorial mount manufactured by Optical Guidance Systems of Huntingdon Valley, Pennsylvania, US. The telescope was donated by the Kopernik Astronomical Society. It is one of the largest publicly usable telescopes in New York State.
Composite image of the GOODS-South field, result of a deep survey using two of the four giant 8.2-metre telescopes composing ESO's Very Large Telescope Gamma-ray pulsars detected by the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope. An astronomical survey is a general map or image of a region of the sky (or of the whole sky) that lacks a specific ...
The project is now in its fourth phase. The first phase, OGLE-I (1992–1995), used the 1.0-metre (3 ft 3 in) Swope telescope and a single-chip CCD sensor. For OGLE-II (1996–2000), a 1.3-metre (4 ft 3 in) telescope dedicated to the project (the Warsaw telescope) was constructed at Las Campanas Observatory. It was equipped with a single 2048× ...
In the 1990s, the AAVSO developed the Hands-On Astrophysics curriculum, now known as Variable Star Astronomy [9] (with support from the National Science Foundation [NSF]). In 2009, the AAVSO was awarded a three-year $800,000 grant from the NSF to run Citizen Sky, [ 10 ] a pro-am collaboration project examining the 2009-2011 eclipse of the star ...
Throughout the 1890s, Chant was concerned about how little the university did for astronomy, and in 1904 he proposed adding several undergraduate courses for fourth-year students, and six such courses were added to the 1905 calendar. [4] With courses now officially on the books, Chant started looking for a proper telescope.
