Research Project Candidates
What can you discover with our telescopes?
The types of projects that can be carried out at the Insight Observatory are varied and touch many astronomical disciplines. For example:
01
Asteroid research
Discover new asteroids, enhance our knowledge about current asteroids, and learn more about the inner solar system.
02
Supernova research
Search for exploding stars within our own Milky Way galaxy and within neighboring galaxies.
03
Variable star research
Monitor the light variation of stars and learn about what they mean.
04
Exoplanet searches
Look for new planets in our galaxy.
- White Dwarf Star Monitoring
05
Astronomy science education
- Imaging
- Astronomy Labs to supplement science classes
- Faculty education
- Independent study
Other programs
These projects are run by other programs and institutions unrelated to Insight Observatory, but provide a good example of what other comparable groups have accomplished:
- International Astronomical Search Collaboration
- Hands-On Universe
