HST Observations
Students participated in suggesting the subject of observation
Students gathered information from observations
This was information about our own
observations of Neptune and Pluto. They were scheduled to
take place the week of March 3 and marked a historic first with the
HST dedicated to K-12 research. These were YOUR observations.
The data
from these observations was seen for the
first time ever on the live television broadcast on March 14.
Also you should know that on February 28 and 29, Planet Advocate
Reta Beebe was busy with observations of Jupiter.

Students interpreted results of observations
Interpreting the scientific results of our observations took place
in April. This involved K-12 students doing real science having used
one of the world's foremost science tools.
Marc Buie offered students the opportunity to
look over
his shoulder as he analyzed our Pluto images!
