NASA’s Astrophoto Challenges: Summer 2022
Join NASA’s Universe of Learning for an exciting opportunity to use real astronomical data and tools to create your own images of the eruptive star system Eta Carinae, and the dusty nebula in which it resides – the Carina Nebula. Capture your own real-time telescope image of the Carina Nebula using the MicroObservatory robotic telescope network, NASA space telescope missions (Chandra and Spitzer), and the ground-based NOIRLab’s Curtis Schmidt Telescope. You can also work with an archived set of data files of Eta Carinae, taken with two multiwavelength NASA space telescope missions (Hubble and Chandra) and the ground-based observations from Carnegie’s Magellan Telescope.
The two Nasa challenges
NASA’s Astrophoto Challenges include two challenges: the MicroObservatory Challenge and the NASA Data Challenge. Enter either challenge
MicroObservatory Challenge
Capture your own real-time telescope image of the Carina Nebula, and process it with MicroObservatory’s JS9‑4L tool. Then consider how the image of the Carina Nebula that you processed compares to an image of the Carina Nebula processed by NASA.
NASA Data Challenge
Select any of NASA’s images of Eta Carina & the Carina Nebula (available here), and process them with MicroObservatory’s JS9‑4L tool. Use all the techniques you’ve learned with MicroObservatory to process real NASA data and create your best image.
Who can participate in NASA’s Astrophoto Challenges?
Anyone! You just need an email address to receive any images you take with the MicroObservatory robotic telescopes.
Eligibility
- Anyone can participate in the challenge.
- You just need an email address to receive any images you take with the MicroObservatory robotic telescopes.
