VIRTUAL FIELD TRIP WITH NASA'S CHANDRA X-RAY OBSERVATORY

DATE: November 4th, 2022

TIME: 2:15 pm EST, 10:00 pm EEST (Jordan Time)

AGE RANGE: All ages.

LOCATION: Virtual. 

As NASA’s premier X-ray telescope, Chandra gives us a powerful tool to investigate hot regions of the Universe. Get a backstage pass to Chandra’s Operations Control Center, learn how coding languages help run Chandra, hear about different kinds of light, the different kinds of careers in the space industry, and take a (virtual) journey with us to some exploding stars and colliding galaxies. 

Out of the 60-minute session, 20 minutes of Q&A will be provided, please come prepared with questions on coding, software, careers, stars, black holes, or just the Universe! At the end of our trip, participants will engage in a hands-on activity and have the opportunity to learn binary code from home!
