Local educator to fly on telescope

Posted on by

HIGH BRIDGE - Four local teachers are among 24 educators selected to fly on NASAs Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy (SOFIA), the worlds largest flying telescope in 2014.

Theresa Roelofsen Moody, a High Bridge resident who works at the New Jersey Astronomy Center at Raritan Valley Community College, will join Margaret Holzer, Michael Maccarone and Elizabeth Rosenberger to fly on board SOFIA during the week of May 11.

The observatory flies from its home base in Palmdale, Calif., and the educators will work side-by-side with astronomer teams witnessing all stages of scientific research, from preparations to observations to data analysis and publication. They will normally fly aboard the observatory twice, and then implement classroom lessons and public outreach programs based on their experiences.

SOFIAs Airborne Astronomy Ambassadors program began in 2010 and has flown 26 educators from 14 states and eight from Germany on science flights in 2010-2012.

SOFIA is an extensively modified Boeing 747SP jetliner equipped with a 100-inch diameter telescope.

The observatory enables the analysis of infrared light to study the formation of stars and planets; chemistry of interstellar gases; composition of comets, asteroids and planets; and supermassive black holes at the center of galaxies.

Teachers Return from the Stratosphere

Posted on by

MEDFORD, Ore. After going halfway to space, a Medford teacher is bringing some of the most advanced astronomy in the world to North Medford High.

North Medford teacher Robert Black and local amateur astronomer Dave Bloomsness recently returned from a trip to the worlds largest flying telescope. The two are among 24 educators selected to fly on NASAs Stratosepheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy (SOFIA).

For five days, they tagged along with scientists using infrared to study star formation, composition of comets, and supermassive black holes.

They say the experience, and their enthusiasm, will rub off in the classroom.

I learned about how exciting it is to see what I teach actually come onto a screen before my very eyes, said Black.

The two will be sharing their experiences from their time with NASA through multiple local appearances.

The first will be at the North Medford High Planetarium on May 28th. Theyll also be speaking at Science Works Museum and with the Grants Pass astronomy club at later dates.
