Student Astronomers Discover The Universe At LBL

http://www.lbl.gov/Science-Articles/Archive/hands-on-universe-1.html

Extractions: By Peter Weiss Just like modern astronomers, students in a new, nationwide program called Hands-On Universe are retrieving colorful astronomical images from distant telescopes using nothing more than their classroom computers. With special software, they can zoom in on the blazing halo of the eclipsed sun, sketch the outlines of galaxies, and rotate or repaint rich-hued portraits of planets. But these images are more than just pretty pictures. Each is a dense mosaic of tiny dots, or "pixels," which represent measurements of light intensity and wavelength by the telescope's electronic sensor. With them, students can do real, scientific problem-solving while learning astronomy, physics, and mathematics. At the same time, they can discover the greater world of their fellow students and professional astronomers by collaborating and communicating with both on the network. "A lot of high-school kids will be doing something very close to professional grade astronomy for the first time in history," says LBL astrophysicist Carl Pennypacker, who is lead scientist for the program. The first of 35 high schools in 20 states began going on-line on Jan. 15. Students in the program will not only learn science, Pennypacker says, but will discover "the wonder and delight that makes us (astronomers) do what we do." That delight infects even students "turned off" to science, say teachers who have used prototype versions of Hands-On Universe in their classrooms. "We're trying to reach people who, without our intervention, wouldn't be going into science, or pursuing higher education," says program coordinator Elizabeth Arsem, who also works for UC Berkeley's Space Sciences Laboratory. She has made a special effort to recruit teachers from school districts in minority and low-income communities.

Extractions: 10:30 Friday 18 August 2000 The discussion meeting explored ways in which students at school and university could participate in research projects, and at the same time increase their understanding of astronomy and develop useful skills. The increase in access to robotic telescopes and to astronomy databases is making research by school and undergraduate students ever more feasible. In addition, useful research can be done with very modest telescope systems, of the sort a school could afford. This meeting was organised by the Education Committee of the Royal Astronomical Society and by Commission 46 of the International Astronomical Union and held after the end of the IAU General Assembly, Manchester 2000.

Wind and Hurricane Impacts Research Laboratory (WHIRL) Florida Institute of Technology has made, over the past decade, major additions and improvements to facilities that enhance the research component of nearly all aspects of undergraduate and graduate education. Along with these facility improvements, a number of research centers have been established to focus on particular areas of study and in many cases encourage interdisciplinary collaboration. Particularly noteworthy is the multidisciplinary Applied Research Laboratory (ARL) facility that is situated a few miles from the main campus. ARL houses research in ocean engineering, advanced materials, polymer flammability, lasers and electrooptics, psychology, parallel computing, neural networks and software engineering. In addition, two new teaching/research buildings were completed in the fall of 1999 on the main campus: the F.W. Olin Engineering Complex and the F.W. Olin Life Sciences Building. The engineering complex is a 68,500 sq. ft. facility housing 26 specialized research laboratories. The 37,000 sq. ft. life sciences building houses 12 research laboratories designed with a flex-space to meet the needs of specific activities.

Extractions: The Astronomy Department of the College of Arts and Sciences at Cornell University and the graduate Field of Astronomy and Space Sciences are associated with two research centers: the Center for Radiophysics and Space Research (CRSR) and the National Astronomy and Ionosphere Center (NAIC). These are all housed together in the Space Sciences Building, and form one of the leading centers in the world for astronomy research and teaching. They offer an interdisciplinary setting combining state-of-the-art experimental, observational, and computational technology to graduate and undergraduate students, to beginning and mature researchers, and to teaching and technical personnel. Under the stewardship of a faculty of international reputation, the latest ideas in fundamental theoretical research are used to pursue new knowledge and to educate the new generation of astronomers. Astronomy, the study of celestial objects and the laws of the universe, changed dramatically in the twentieth century. This change was brought about by the radical advances in computing, instrumentation, and methods used for observing and exploring the universe and by revolutionary progress in theoretical physics and its influence on modern astronomical thinking.
