[Chaos-l] Would you like to be a Radio Astronomer?

[Jayme Hanzak]

Hello everyone,

Professor Dan Reichart of UNC Physics and Astronomy Department is offering
a wonderful opportunity for interested Radio Astronomy Enthusiasts. I have
included his generous opportunity.

----------

I wanted to give you all a heads up that I'm now accepting applications
for 
the radio astronomy "dream camp" that I coordinate.  Competition for the
15 
slots can be fierce, but I'm usually able to make room for one and 
occasionally even two adult enthusiasts each year.  So feel free to 
advertise to your clubs (or apply yourselves if you're interested).

Here's some more info:

The program is called Educational Research in Radio Astronomy (ERIRA), and 
it takes place at the National Radio Astronomy Observatory in Green Bank, 
West Virginia.  This year the program will take place from Sunday, June 
10th to Saturday, June 16th (Sunday and Saturday are travel days). 
Participants have exclusive access to a 40-foot radio telescope for the 
duration of the week.  With it, they make images of the invisible
universe, 
do small-scale research projects, and much, much more.

Participants also have access to optical telescopes in Chile and elsewhere 
via the internet.

Everything you ever wanted to know about ERIRA, and then some, can be
found

Thanks,

Dan

P.S.  Applications should be in by March 31st!!!

Thanks Dan and Good Luck!
