York College students building local astronomers new, larger eye on the cosmos
York Dispatch
Since Kerry Smith s very first experience in radio astronomy taking observations of radio emissions from Jupiter in 1990, his dreams of exploring the cosmos and teaching others about science only grew.
Enter York College Professor Don Hake and a 13½-foot radio telescope the foundation for what would become an ongoing project to build a a fully functional radio telescope for Smith s organization, the York County Astronomical Society. I am the envy of a lot of (amateur astronomers) who would love to have an instrument of this caliber, Smith said. When it s fully operational and doing what we designed it do, we re going to be one of the few amateur astronomy clubs that would have this available to the world.
