Radio astronomical observations can be carried out during day time and even in poor weather conditions. This makes them ideal for teaching astronomy interactively in the classroom. In a short time, it is possible to detect the radio emission from neutral hydrogen gas in our own Galaxy, the Milky Way, and to map the distribution of this gas in the spiral arms.

What can we observe with the Antenna in Portugal: Neutral H in our Galaxy Wavelenght 21 cm (1.4 Ghz) First Detected in 1948 The angular resolution of the SRT is small ~ lambda/diam, ~5º (means that at such antenna the Sun and Moon are point sources) Good for observing big objects in the sky à Milkyway Eventually could observe Neutron Stars in the plan of our Galaxy Jupiter (due to its strong synchrotron radiation) The SRT is very good to reproduce science from the (60´s 70´s) Fist steps should be: learn how it works, analyse data from the small and possibly from the big antenna Build a cosmic cartography Characteristics of the big antenna (Wavelenght 6 cm (5 Ghz), 6 m
