PUSD Science Fest

Got to help out with painting new murals in the science building at Marshall today 😃

ScienceFest 2026 reached the NASA Infrared Telescope Facility (IRTF); a 3.2-meter telescope located at the Mauna Kea Observatory in Hawaii, specifically designed to support NASA’s planetary science missions and research.

Awesome photo of Warren Skidmore, founder of PUSD ScienceFest sporting his t-shirt at work!!

IRTF confirms and identifies a bright Nova explosion discovered by PRIME in the central region of the Milky Way

Astronomers triggered a Target of Opportunity followup program with IRTF and confirmed the nature of the transient Nova discovered with the 1.8-m Prime-focus Infrared Microlensing Experiment (PRIME) telescope at the South African Astronomical Observatory
