EDC is working with the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics (CfA) to develop an investigation using the MicroObservatory online telescopes. Controlling the telescopes from their classroom, students will join a community of scientists in the search for solar systems beyond our own, including a search for a twin of Earth that may harbor life.
