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 ...
She has been director of Yale Telescope Resources since 2012. [4] In 2017, she was given a Howard Hughes Medical Institute professorship, funding a five-year program for science education of military veterans. [7] Geha offers a popular, free online course called "Rocket Science for Everyone". [8]
Observational astronomy is focused on acquiring data from observations of astronomical objects. This data is then analyzed using basic principles of physics. Theoretical astronomy is oriented toward the development of computer or analytical models to describe astronomical objects and phenomena. These two fields complement each other.
Jul. 17—Geauga Park District offers a lineup of live virtual programming using the free software Zoom, and this season, virtual visitors can view several astronomy programs. "Amazing Exoplanets ...
SDSS uses a dedicated 2.5 m wide-angle optical telescope; from 1998 to 2009 it observed in both imaging and spectroscopic modes. The imaging camera was retired in late 2009, since then the telescope has observed entirely in spectroscopic mode. Images were taken using a photometric system of five filters (named u, g, r, i and z).
The Northumberland Telescope [7] donated by the Duke of Northumberland in 1833. This is a 12-inch (300 mm) diameter refractor on an English mount. The smaller Thorrowgood Telescope, [8] on extended loan from the Royal Astronomical Society. The telescope is an 8-inch (200 mm) refractor. The 36-inch Telescope, [9] built in 1951.
Through the end of the 20th century, the Perkins Telescope was the observatory's largest instrument. Observing time on this instrument was shared between Lowell astronomers and the Ohio State University. The 69-inch (1.8 m) telescope at Perkins was immediately replaced with a 32-inch (810 mm) cassegrain reflector telescope. It was donated by ...
GREGOR [10] is a 1.5 m telescope for solar research of the Teide Observatory on Tenerife. It is a new type of solar telescope, which supersedes the previous 45 cm Gregory-Coudé telescope. GREGOR is equipped with adaptive optics and will achieve a resolution of 70 km of the Sun's surface. The investigation of these small structures is important ...
