Happy World Space Week!

Let's come together as one in pursuit of space exploration!

International Space Week is October 4-10 this year, celebrating all things space. In partnership with the Policy Studies Organization (PSO), APUS held the Space Education and Strategic Applications (SESA) 2024 conference on September 19-20. Our Supernova Research Group's faculty and students hosted a Virtual Star Party during the conference, where we maneuvered and took pictures of various celestial objects in real-time with our 24" Planewave telescope. Dr. Miller operated the telescope while each student provided background information about their assigned object: the Whirlpool Galaxy, the Trifid Nebula, the Ring Nebula, M56, the Eagle Nebula, M75, and the Helix Nebula.

Each day this week, we will post a new video of one student's presentation and share the final picture from the telescope. Enjoy!
