Hi,
I'm interested in learning just how scientific research is done—specifically for Astrophysics. I would like to start some preliminary research for the Siemens-Westinghouse competition in October, but I'm wondering if research can be done in Astrophysics without a multi-billion dollar telescope. Although, to be honest, it seems that projects done for the Westinghouse competition are quite ground-breaking and require specific instruments, so something such as this might not work very well. (Besides theory, I suppose, but I'm not sure that's covered by the Westinghouse competition)
Does anybody have some links for beginning research or some tips? I have so much time that I waste away on this infernal machine that I'd like to put forth into something productive.
Thanks to anybody that helps
