UT astronomy department taking research to higher level with Webb telescope [The Blade, Toledo, Ohio]
May 10 The University of Toledo’s physics and astronomy department is abuzz now in anticipation of the world’s most powerful telescope being launched into outer space Oct. 31.
There’s good reason for that: NASA has chosen an amazing five UT research proposals to be part of the telescope’s initial year or so of deep-space viewing and data collection.
One is from a graduate student scheduled to get his doctoral degree this month. He was competing against hundreds of other astronomers, many with 20 or 30 years of experience.
