A teacher professional development workshop held at McDonald Observatory
This workshop is supported in part by a NSF Grant to Dr. Seth Redfield under an education/public outreach supplement to his research project “Accessing Atmospheric Properties of Terrestrial Exoplanets: Ground-Based Observations of Rayleigh Scattering and Extended Atmospheres”. Additional support was provided by the Cynthia and George Mitchell Foundation, Carolyn Keenan and Charlie Gaines, Hugh Gragg, Lynn Lyles Brill, Leonard Tedesco, and Bill and Alice Wright.
