Our Place in Space (OPIS) 

The introductory astronomy labs at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill have been in place for some three decades, and are now being updated, revamped, and revitalized. Beginning in the Spring of 2009, Dr. Dan Reichart and his group have been working to create a unique astronomy laboratory experience which will both move our students in a more technologically advanced direction as well as motivate them to further explore concepts from the comfort of their own home via our custom web-based software suite.

ASTR 101L now consists of seven labs.  In some of these labs, you will observe astronomical objects using robotic telescopes, called PROMPT, that we have built and currently maintain in the Chilean Andes.  In other labs, you will use observations that we have already made for you with these and other Skynet telescopes around the world.  Finally, some of these labs will be traditional in that you will collect data with materials in class.

 

This in ongoing sessions organized for Spring Semester 2025. If you Interested please send your name and information below or our email at : lookingupastro@gmail.com
