UChicago Students Celebrate Spectroscopy at Las Campanas Observatory

Caption

Students from University of Chicago professor Alexander Ji’s “Field Course in Astrophysics” class pose in front of the Magellan Clay telescope at Carnegie Science’s Las Campanas Observatory in Chile. They are using their bodies to spell MIKE, referencing the Magellan Inamori Kyocera Echelle (MIKE) spectrograph instrument that they used on the telescope to make their breakthrough discovery.
