GSDLN Hosts NASA: The Solar System and Beyond
Date: 11/4/2008
Time: 9:30 - 10:30 A.M.
What can you learn about objects in our solar system from watching the night sky, either with your own eyes or with a telescope? What do spacecraft tell us about worlds that are millions of miles away? This module will explore the solar system as seen from earth as well as from NASA space probes and telescopes. Students will be introduced to the different characteristics of the planets, to the history of our solar system, and to the variety of objects that orbit the sun. Emphasis is placed on the engineering challenges presented in obtaining data about objects with hostile environments that are moving through space at distances of millions of miles.
