A summer of astronomy Meet our 2020 Summer Research Programme students

Comunicato Stampa disponibile solo in lingua originale. 

  • What it’s like to spend a summer working on astronomical research
  • How the Summer Research Programme gave students insight into the scientific process and the lives of astronomers
  • The range of activities experienced by this year’s students — from working on research projects to listening to astronomy talks, playing games online, and learning about ESO
  • The opportunities and challenges that come with being part of a virtual summer school

This summer, #eso held its second Summer Research Programme, giving five talented university students the opportunity to undertake a six-week long research project supervised by #eso Research Fellows and staff astronomers. Each student worked on a different project focusing on a specific astronomical topic — from black holes to dying stars, through atmospheric studies and exoplanets. As they finish their research, we speak to the students to find out about their experiences of a virtual summer school and what new knowledge and skills they will take away.
