Samuel Rodarte, jr., and Jessica Gutierrez stand in front of their poster at the recent AAS conference. The two students were part of a team of High School astronomers from the University of Texas at Brownsville and Texas Southmost College who presented their research results at the conference. Trained at the Arecibo Remote Command Center located on the Brownsville campus, the students results are contributing to a global scientific effort to develop a galactic scale gravitational wave observatory.
