Get Involved with Black Hole Patrol
For Educators and Students
Imagine the excitement in your classroom as students explore the universe's most mysterious objects, contributing to real scientific discoveries and developing a deeper appreciation for space science.
Black Hole Patrol offers students and educators the opportunity to engage in real scientific research. Participants learn how to collect and analyze data on radio emissions from black holes, making abstract scientific concepts tangible and exciting.
- Educational Modules: We provide comprehensive training materials and lesson plans to help educators integrate Black Hole Patrol into their curriculum.
- Live Operation: Students participate in live sessions, operating the DSS-13 telescope remotely and analyzing real-time data.
- Project-Based Learning: Students undertake projects based on their observations, fostering critical thinking and scientific reasoning.
For Citizen Scientists
Imagine being part of a global network of citizen scientists, each making valuable contributions to our understanding of black holes. Your participation can help improve scientific research and provide new insights into the universe.
Citizen scientists play a crucial role in Black Hole Patrol. By participating, you will help collect and analyze data on black holes and quasars, contributing to ongoing research efforts. This initiative is a unique chance to work with professional scientists and make meaningful contributions to our understanding of the universe.
- Training and Resources: Access detailed guides on how to conduct observations and analyze data.
- Collaborative Projects: Join a community of citizen scientists, share findings, and contribute to research projects.
- Contribute to Science: Your observations and analyses will be used in real scientific studies, advancing our knowledge of black holes and quasars.
