Try to find Vesta in this animation. |
Middle and high school students at New Roads School in Santa
Monica, California, under the direction of Mr. Joe Wise,
have successfully collected images of Vesta from theTIE Chilean
telescope (Las Campanas Observatory) and the TIE Mt. Wilson
telescope. They have rendered an animation of Vesta and a
light curve based on a four-hour observation. This work has
paved the way for the TIE suite of activities. This suite
of activities includes:
1. Imaging Vesta and Ceres; and
2. Determining a light curve for
Vesta and Ceres. Upon release of the TIE Suite, schools
will be encouraged to participate in a cyber-community of
students interested in ground-based research of Vesta, Ceres,
and asteroids in general.
