Students and teachers who are involved in this research project will be searching recent galaxy images (just hours old) by downloading them from an FTP site to their computer.  This project may be undertaken as an individual student or as a team of students.  One of the fascinating aspects of this project is the opportunity to view the unique structure and beauty of different galaxies.  We will provide the images you need to search for these elusive dying stars.  Another advantage of this type of research is students will receive recognition for each new supernova discovery.
