Participants will work in pairs to construct a small (75 x 75 cm2) horn antenna along with a low-noise readout amplifier, which will be used observe 21-cm-wavelength radio signals from the Sun and as well as the radio waves that are emitted by the hydrogen gas that permeates the Milky Way. Data from these homemade radio telescopes will be used to observe the arms of the galaxy. Results from the homemade horn antennas will be compared to equivalent measurements from CCERA’s 12.8-m dish.
