Students analyze time-series images of stars orbiting the Galactic center to reconstruct their trajectories and identify orbital shapes. They extract quantitative data (positions, distances, periods) and model the orbit of a reference star as an ellipse. Using these...

Students investigate Kepler’s relations by combining embodied perception and measurement on the Human Orrery. In small groups, they design protocols to test hypotheses about orbit shape, swept areas, and period–distance relationships, then compare measurements with...

There are two types of regions on the Moon: craters and seas. Craters are created when a large meteorite hits the Moon. Seas are formed during geological events that flatten large areas of the Moon. Some regions have been explored by other astronauts who have brought...
