New round of future discoverers
The Maunakea Scholars program has announced the latest Hawaii high school students to get observing time at the observatories. Good for them, they are our future whether they or not they go into astronomy.
From http://bigislandnow.com/2018/02/19/astro...cope-time/
"Students in the Maunakea Scholars program spend months working alongside mentors from the University of Hawai‘i’s Institute for Astronomy, analyzing data and preparing professional-style research proposals in areas of their own personal interest. The student proposals which are deemed most creative, scientifically promising and technically viable are awarded telescope time to facilitate advanced research."
"On Feb. 14, 2017-18 winning proposals from King Kekaulike High School were announced.
Janine Harris – Cepheid Magnitude Periods
Ryan Siarot and Thorn Refugio – Observing Asteroid Colors to Determine Composition
Quinton Uradomo – Dark Matter
Kayla Wohlers and Caroline Stevenson – Deep Into The Storm
Quentin Beamer – White Dwarf Formation Temperatures
On Feb. 16, 2017-18 winning proposals from Kapolei High School were announced.
Tavita Vaitului – New Life
