AstroArt Workshop: Beauty of the Heavens
In this incredible experience we will combine art and the beautiful universe using NASA's MicroObservatory during this week-long workshop for ages 7-17. We'll also compare objects in space to things we see in the earth's oceans. You'll be working with an astronomer, Kevin Manning, who was a Consultant for NASA, worked with space telescopes, and won an international award for Astro-creativity.
Kevin will guide you through requesting images from robotic telescopes and process those images like professional astronomers do. Cosmic Images Across the Spectrum will require using a search engine to locate and download images of the selected object taken by detectors sensitive to various frequencies in:
Then, information for each selected object, such as:

Cosmic Images Across the Spectrum will require using a search engine to locate and download images of the selected object taken by detectors sensitive to various frequencies in:
- radio
- infrared
- ultraviolet
- X-rays
- gamma rays
Then, information for each selected object, such as:
- type of object
- when discovered and by who
- constellation found in
- celestial coordinates
- apparent and true size
- brightness, etc.
