7. Edwin Hubble as a student at Yerkes Observatory in 1916 (you are in very good company)

8. Hubble and the Yerkes Academy How does Hubble work? Beyond the pretty pictures: science at the cutting edge Mining data archives for hidden gems Yerkes Academy observing proposal: where would you point Hubble? Planning, observing, analysis, publication Looking over my shoulder (via webcam) during exciting science projects that come up

9. Hubble was launched into orbit by the Space Shuttle in 1990

10. Hubble is serviced in orbit by astronauts 1993 1997 1999 2002 2008?

16. Your turn to talk to me! One person at a time… Step up close to the web camera Clearly say your name, grade, and where you are from What do you like about space? Do you have any questions?

17. Yerkes Academy Hubble data mining and observations Provide some authentic cutting-edge research experiences Collaboration, teamwork, ownership Data-mining: search data archives for interesting data Propose Hubble Heritage observing project Choosing a suitable target; observation planning First look at the raw data: videoconference Data processing and analysis Make a color-composite image Hubble Heritage press release Publish paper, present results at a conference: AAS, ASP?
