Hubble and the Yerkes Academy
• How does Hubble work?• Beyond the pretty pictures: science at the
cutting edge• Mining data archives for hidden gems• Yerkes Academy observing proposal: where
would you point Hubble? • Planning, observing, analysis, publication• Looking over my shoulder (via webcam) during
exciting science projects that come up
