MicroObservatory: A guide to Observing the Universe

<p><strong>MicroObservatory is a network of automated telescopes that can be controlled over the Internet.<strong></strong><strong> In this collection, students will learn </strong><strong>how they can control these telescopes themselves, u<strong>sing many of the same technologies that NASA uses to capture astronomical images by controlling telescopes in space</strong>.</strong></strong><strong> After gathering their very own images of space, students will learn the steps professional astronomers take to process the astronomical masterpieces so often seen from NASA, and then have the opportunity to create their very own!</strong></p>
