S3000: Radio Astronomy: The Universe from Your Backyard in Splash! 2009 (Nov. 21 - 22, 2009)
What do you see when you look outside at night, with your eyes or with a small telescope? For the most part, only things very close to Earth - the planets, the closest stars and our neighborhood in the Milky Way. A radio telescope sees a completely different universe. Even a radio telescope small enough to build in your backyard can see the motion of the Milky Way and make a map of the entire galaxy. In this class, you will learn how a radio telescope works, and see examples of the uses of radio telescopes.
