Brief Description: Hundreds of years ago Galileo pointed a very simple telescope toward the planet Jupiter. He was amazed that the little dots of light near Jupiter seemed to move back and forth in an organized way. Later mathematicians like Kepler and physicists like Newton used observations of planets and moons to describe laws and develop theories of gravity and motion. With our own telescope observations we will collect and analyze data so we can retrace Galileo's steps and the thinking of Kepler and Newton. The steps you use in this activity to understand the orbits of Jupiter's moons can be used for any planet.

Brief Description: Cannibalism on galactic scale. Two galaxies hurling silently through space feel the other's gravitational pull long before contact. Forces akin to the tides on Earth tug at and distort the galaxies cores as they continue to rotate. Spiral arms can be ripped apart or explode into a burst of blue lights as new star are nudged into existence by waves of energy. Not only are these interacting galaxies beautiful to look at, but also they hold many clues to the birth and death of galaxies themselves. Use data from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey and Hands-On Universe image processing software to look for your own interacting galaxy and work with astronomers to read their stories. Contribute what you find to the body of knowledge that seeks to solve the mystery of the lives of galaxies.

Brief Description: Light. We can use larger and more powerful telescopes to help us see increasing detail in celestial objects but when astronomers spread that light out into a spectrum they open a door to vast amounts of information about the object. This project helps you learn to read the information coded in stellar spectra and introduces you to the types of questions you can investigate with this tool in hand. This project can be the jumping off point for your own research.

Brief Description: Humans have been carefully observing and studying the sky for thousands of years but it was less than 100 years ago that astronomers came to understand that there were galaxies beyond our own Milky Way. Galaxies are one of the favorite targets of amateur astronomers. They come in a variety of shapes, sizes and even colors. As larger telescopes and better optics allow us to probe more distant and ancient galaxies, questions have emerged about how these massive collection of stars come into existence and change with time. This area of understanding is changing rapidly as new data are acquired. In this project you will add to the data that are used when evaluating which theories about galaxy evolution best fit the observed evidence. The Sloan Digital Sky Survey has looked at more galaxies at greater distances than any survey in history. In this project you are going to tap into this massive database to pull out a sample of galaxies from your favorite area in the sky. You are going to use search tools to help you sort this sample by distance and galaxy type. When you have finished, you will compare your findings to current estimates of galaxy populations and make a decision as to whether or not galaxy types have remained stable over time or changed.

Brief Description: Located at vast distances and producing more engergy than a thousand Milky Way-sized galaxies, quasars appear star-like through even large telescopes. In the forty years since quasars were first recognized as a new classification of celestial objects, scientists are still probing their mysteries. Astronomers are very interested in how quasars' light levels change with time. Join the hunt for patterns in quasar variability: Choose a candidate from all the quasars captured by the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS), request additional images from a large telescope and plot the quasar's light curve. If your work is approved by a mentor/astronomer you will be invited to submit your findings to an on-line catalogue of data that can be accessed by other astronomers.
