The Student Observation Network is designed to provide students with an opportunity to participate in predicting a solar event.
Astronomers use radio waves to bring information about the universe to Earth-bound instruments.
Students can become radio astronomers by participating on one of the 3 possible levels.
-
Level 1: Basic:
Students can use the easily accessible radio emission chart recordings to determine when an increase in radio wave emissions occurs.
-
Level 2: Internet-based Participation:
Students can download software that allows them to listen to radio emissions and make
comparisons among charts from telescopes around the world.
-
Level 3: Advanced (field work):
Students can become radio astronomers by building their own radio telescope in order to collect and analyze radio emissions.
