Description

Founded in 1904, Carnegie Observatories is Pasadena's oldest scientific organization. Nearly every major discovery in modern astronomy is associated with the Observatories, and today Carnegie is a prime destination for cutting-edge research on the evolution of the universe, galaxy and star formation, black holes, and much more.


 


This special visit will be for ONE class, limited to grades 4-6, and will focus on activities led by Carnegie's director of education and outreach and astronomer, Jeff Rich. In addition to his educational efforts, Rich is an astronomer who researches the processes that shape galaxy evolution and formation, primarily through detailed observational studies of galaxies in the nearby universe.


 


The class visit will be for 1 hour during school hours. The visit would ideally be scheduled between May 1 and May 10, 2024; however, exact date and time shall be coordinated with Carnegie Observatories for a date between May 1- June 4, 2024.
