项目摘要

This CRPA award deals with inspiring youth to science careers and specifically in space science. The Green Bank Telescope in collaboration with the Pulsar Search Collaboratory, the National Radio Astronomy Observatory, and West Virginia University will develop a documentary film describing what pulsars are, how they are identified, and how youths participate in these investigations and discoveries. Through this experience youths learn aspects of space science, mathematics, physics, and computational science. Several young students have discovered new pulsars.The film will describe the concepts behind pulsars, how they are identified, and how the students can participate. The idea here is that potential students will see that other kids are participating and they may be successful as well. In the film, several well known scientists will be interviewed including Neil degrasse Tyson, Director of the Hayden Planetarium and Dame Jocelyn Bell-Burnell, the lady in Great Britain who discovered the first pulsar. Moreover, they will interview several young scientists who discovered the most recent pulsars through this program. The objectives of this effort are to be inspirational to young people and to engage the public with the concepts of space science and pulsars.

CRPA奖旨在激励年轻人从事科学事业，特别是空间科学。绿色银行望远镜与脉冲星搜索合作实验室，国家射电天文台和西弗吉尼亚大学合作，将制作一部纪录片，描述什么是脉冲星，如何识别它们，以及年轻人如何参与这些调查和发现。通过这种经验，年轻人学习空间科学，数学，物理学和计算科学的各个方面。几个年轻的学生发现了新的“小人物”。影片将描述“小人物”背后的概念，如何识别它们，以及学生如何参与其中。这里的想法是，潜在的学生将看到其他孩子正在参与，他们可能也会成功。在这部电影中，几位著名的科学家将接受采访，包括海登天文馆馆长尼尔·德格拉斯·泰森和发现第一颗脉冲星的英国女士乔斯林·贝尔-伯内尔。此外，他们还将通过这个节目采访几位发现最新恒星的年轻科学家。这一努力的目标是激励青年人，使公众了解空间科学和航天器的概念。
