Astronomy for Change is pleased to announce our partnership with Insight Observatory, a world-class, remotely accessible observing network spread across 5 continents that brings the universe right into your home, office, or classroom.
Insight Observatory offers premier remote imaging services that span the broad range of telescope types and apertures, from Apochromatic Refactors to Deep-Space penetrating Reflectors (Ritchey-Chrétien or Dall Kirkham) in the 0.4 meter (16″) class. We have already featured an imaging run here, presenting the “Christmas Tree” Nebula, a young Galactic cluster in its infancy at less than 5 million years old, still shrouded in its star-forming gas and dust envelope. The image data was acquired through Insight Observatory’s “Starbase” image-data portal.
The remarkable alignment of our core mission goals has made this partnership possible.
Alignment of Our Core Mission Goals
Astronomy For Change is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to affect positive change through astronomy and science education, by inspiring and empowering current and future generations to become engaged and interested in Astronomy and Science.
Community outreach, training and assistance for primary schools, highs schools and post-secondary institutions. We assist educators at every level in setting-up course curricula and content through the guidance of qualified Ph.D astronomers.
As part of our mission we constantly host public events, workshops and webinars to promote global awareness of how astronomy and science benefits society and humankind.
An excerpt from Insight Observatory’s (Sublime Skies) mission statement:
Our mission is twofold: to facilitate groundbreaking astronomical research through state-of-the-art remote telescopes and to democratize access to the cosmos. By empowering researchers, educators, students, and enthusiasts, we make celestial exploration accessible from classrooms and homes alike.
Their full mission statement can be found on their home page.
Over the coming weeks and months, expect to see much more from Insight Observatory and Starbase featured on our platform here at Astronomy for Change.
