Participants return with the responsibility to spread what they have learned throughout their communities - and beyond. This amazing opportunity doesn’t come without some strings attached. Participants are granted rare, behind-the-scenes access to some of the world’s premier astronomical observatories. (AUI), the Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy, the National Radio Astronomy Observatory (NRAO), the National Optical Astronomy Observatory, and Gemini Observatory.
The program represents the collaborative efforts of Associated Universities Inc. Now in its fourth year, ACEAP brings American astronomy educators to Chile to demonstrate firsthand how astronomical facilities function, how they make their data and discoveries accessible to the public, and how astronomy and science benefit communities on a local and global scale. The Astronomy in Chile Educator Ambassadors Program (ACEAP) aims to change that. Although astronomy excites many Americans, most are unaware of the substantial investments made by the United States and Chile - together - in pursuit of understanding our universe. Public enthusiasm and appreciation underpin successful projects such as these, ensuring the support necessary for future growth and continuing scientific discovery.
National Science Foundation, which supports studies of the universe from the ground as NASA does from space. Many of these world-class facilities are partially or fully funded by the United States through the U.S. From the radio telescope array charting complex chemistry in Titan’s atmosphere to the telescopes that pinpointed the neutron star merger last year, Chilean observatories play a starring role in today’s groundbreaking discoveries. Chile is home to some of the world’s best skies - and some of the world’s most advanced instruments to observe them.
