New Berlin might not sound like the go-to place for stargazing and astronomical research, but one 18-year-old is channeling his inner Galileo to study the stars.
William Gottemoller, a senior at Menomonee Falls High School, is an aspiring professional astronomer and astrophotographer looking to the cosmos to find answers to the universe. He takes stunning photos of the cosmos that look like they came from the James Webb telescope.
"In a way, it's kind of like our last frontier. Like we’ve explored the oceans. We’ve explored land. We’ve cataloged pretty much everything about our planet, but we haven’t really gone beyond yet if that makes sense," Gottemoller said.
His hard work as a citizen scientist is being recognized across the nation.
