REMOTE OBSERVING
In partnership with Shadow the Scientists (StS)
We link young students from Colombian schools with professional astronomers using some of the best observatories in the world.
This initiative is to show children and young students from a remote setting how astronomy is done professionally by 'shadowing' astronomers from the University of California at Santa Cruz (UCSC) while they observe the universe with some of the most prestigious telescopes in the world. Some of these are the two 10-meter telescopes at the W.M. Keck Observatory in Hawai'i, the Lick Observatory in California, and the Subaru Telescope from the National Observatory of Japan.
Additionally, this project gives the opportunity to Colombian astronomers to support the instruction of observations and share this experience with schools all over the country.
SECOND VERSION

studying Ultra Compact Dwarf Galaxies (UCD).
First Version
