标题： Secondary School Students observe Venus with NASA Infrared Telescope Facility (IRTF)

摘要： 天文学和天体物理学被认为是激发中小学生学习兴趣的高动机主题，它们一直是反复且有效的资源，用以激发对科学的热情。 事实上，在过去的几年中，我们见证了为教师和学生提供小型机器人望远镜设施的激增，使他们能够远程开展自己的观测项目。 这里提出了一步进一步的进展，我们描述了中学生参加在NASA红外望远镜设施（IRTF）进行的金星专业观测的经验，并在第二次观测运行中由他们自己进行观测。 除了快速掌握SpeX仪器控制软件的基本操作外，学生们还成功执行了不同类型的数据显示获取，包括漂移扫描成像。 显示英文摘要

摘要： Astronomy and astrophysics are regarded as highly motivating topics for students in primary and secondary schools, and they have been a recurrent and effective resource to inspire passion about science. In fact, during the last years we have witnessed a boost of facilities providing small robotic telescopes for teachers and students to remotely undertake their own observing projects. A step forward is presented here, where we describe the experience of secondary school students attending professional observations of Venus at NASA's Infrared Telescope Facility (IRTF) and, in a second observing run, conducting the observations by themselves. In addition to quickly mastering the basic operation of the control software for the SpeX instrument, the students successfully performed different types of data acquisition, including drift scan imaging.
