Calilbrating Hubble Data: Decoding the Secrets of the Distant Universe

Have you ever wondered how astronomers are able to tease out the secrets of the distant universe from faint smudges of light in a Hubble image?  How are they able to know what chemical elements are in an exoplanet atmosphere? How can they tell the difference between a galaxy, star or a cosmic ray on the detector?

Please join +Tony Darnell Dr. +Carol Christian and +Scott Lewis as they discuss the calibration of data from the Hubble Space Telescope with astronomers attending a special Hubble Data Calibration Workshop.  learn the secrets of getting science from Hubble images!
