I need to interview an astronomer for a high school project. At the astronomy.net forums, another member recommended these as a good place to find one.
Any takers?

The best person to interview for your astronomy high school project would be someone who has expertise in the field of astronomy, such as an astronomer, astrophysicist, or science educator. You can also consider interviewing amateur astronomers or individuals who have a strong interest in astronomy.
You can start by reaching out to local astronomy clubs or organizations, universities or colleges with astronomy programs, or science museums. You can also search for experts in the field through online directories or professional organizations like the American Astronomical Society.
It is important to have a set of well-thought-out questions that will provide you with valuable information for your project. Some good topics to cover in your interview could include the person's background and experience in astronomy, their current research or projects, their thoughts on current developments in the field, and advice for aspiring astronomers.
The length of the interview will depend on your project and the availability of the person you are interviewing. It is important to have enough time to cover all of your questions and gather the necessary information, but also be respectful of the person's time. A good guideline would be to aim for an interview duration of 30-60 minutes.
Yes, with advancements in technology, it is possible to conduct interviews remotely through video conferencing or phone calls. However, if possible, an in-person interview may be more beneficial in terms of building a connection with the person and gathering more information through non-verbal cues.
