Those students would work with small-scale, experimental instruments that could change how we observe the universe.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div class=\"rt-Box w-full\">\n<p class=\"rt-Text\">That\u2019s what professor Adam Beardsley at Winona State hopes to accomplish. An astronomer, Beardsley is in the early stages of designing a radio-wave observatory to study space after recently receiving a $500,000 grant from the National Science Foundation.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div class=\"rt-Box w-full\">\n<p class=\"rt-Text\">\u201cThe main thing that I really want to do is kind of stand up a facility where you can come to test your ideas,\u201d Beardsley said. \u201cI have collaborators at other universities as well, where we have ideas for how you can develop the technology that you need to do very precise measurements, but we can test them out closer to home.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div class=\"rt-Box w-full\">\n<p class=\"rt-Text\">At the same time, students would get experience working with equipment they normally wouldn\u2019t touch until after they graduate, where they could work at larger observatories or research stations across the globe. That\u2019s part of a larger goal at Winona State according to Nicole Williams, dean of the university\u2019s College of Science and Engineering.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div class=\"rt-Box w-full\">\n<p class=\"rt-Text\">\u201cThey do everything they can so that undergraduate students can get that kind of graduate school research experience,\u201d Williams said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div class=\"rt-Box w-full\">\n<p class=\"rt-Text\">Most people associate radio wave frequencies with songs and other sounds we hear, but radio waves are a part of the light spectrum. Humans can only see certain colors, but there are all kinds of different ways to see light \u2014 think ultraviolet, x-ray or infrared, for example.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div class=\"rt-Box w-full\">\n<p class=\"rt-Text\">Radio waves can tell scientists when a star is formed. New stars and galaxies have hydrogen gas that emits radio waves at a very specific frequency, or color. At the Winona Radio Observatory, students and researchers could track those radio waves from natural phenomenon across the universe.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div class=\"rt-Box w-full\">\n<p class=\"rt-Text\">\u201cIt\u2019s all about trying to get as much information as we can,\u201d Beardsley said. \u201cDifferent parts of the light spectrum can tell you different things.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n     data-ad-layout-key=\"-fb+5w+4e-db+86\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"7910942971\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><div data-type=\"_mgwidget\" data-widget-id=\"1660802\">\r\n<\/div>\r\n<script>(function(w,q){w[q]=w[q]||[];w[q].push([\"_mgc.load\"])})(window,\"_mgq\");\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.startribune.com\/a-winona-professor-dreams-of-new-ways-to-observe-the-stars\/601181707\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Someday soon college students at Winona State University could join researchers from around North America measuring light from stars and galaxies billions of miles away.
