Astronomy Camp is a science summer camp hosted by the University of Arizona's Alumni Association, and run by astronomer Don McCarthy. Many of the early camps took place at the Mount Lemmon Station Observatory atop Mount Lemmon, near Tucson, Arizona. On Mount Lemmon, the campers have access to a 12″, 20″, 40″ and 60″ telescope, and on the nearby Mount Bigelow site, a 61″ telescope. In recent years, the camp has also taken place at the Kitt Peak National Observatory, where the students have access to a wide variety of telescopes, including the 90″ Bok Telescope, the ARO 12m Radio Telescope, and a variety of smaller instruments. At both locations, the telescopes and other equipment are used for hands-on learning and research on a variety of astronomical topics. Campers are encouraged to propose their own projects and collect the data necessary to answer their research questions. Don McCarthy won the American Astronomical Society Education Prize in 2012 in part for his work running Astronomy Camp.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 UA Astronomer Earns National Education Honors )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Education Prize - American Astronomical Society )〕 ==Location== *Mount Lemmon observatory: *Kitt Peak observatory: 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Astronomy Camp」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
