The Youth and Astronomy program at the Space Telescope Science Institute, operated by NASA, is now inviting classes to hear extraordinary scientists and engineers give talks about various facets of astronomy and engineering.

They will also have a chance to observe the stars and planets through the Morris W.

The telescope has as its major optical element a 20"-diameter (that is, half- meter diameter) parabolic mirror. Students will also have an opportunity to tour the Johns Hopkins University Campus getting a glimpse of what college life is like.
