The Hands-On Universe Project

“动手宇宙”项目创建了八项补充调查，学生们在这些调查中使用电荷耦合器件探测器分析远程望远镜拍摄的天文图像。现在和过去的图像将可以从自动超新星搜索中获得，它每晴朗的夜晚拍摄500张图像。分析是在教室里使用加州大学伯克利分校开发的与IBM兼容的图像处理软件进行的，用于研究工作。这些活动旨在为高中天文、物理或物理科学课程提供实践调查，并提供使用强大技术工具参与科学研究的深入体验。电信将学生、教师和专业人员以真正的协作和学徒式互动联系在一起，这可以导致原创研究。这些活动由专业天文学家和教师发起，包括通过测量木星的一颗卫星的运动来调查木星的质量，太阳系的空间维度，合作搜索各种来源，绘制光曲线，以及到遥远物体的距离。教材将包括介绍性视频、学生材料和供学生进行自己的图像处理活动的软件。

The "Hands-on Universe" project creates eight supplemental investigations in which students analyze astronomical images taken by remote telescopes using charge coupled device detectors. Current and past images will become available from the Automated Supernova Search, which takes 500 images per clear night. The analysis is done in the classroom using IBM-compatible image processing software developed at the University of California/Berkeley for research work. The activities, intended for high school astronomy, physics or physical science courses, provide hands-on investigations coupled with an in-depth experience of engaging in science research using powerful technological tools. Telecommunications links students, teachers and professionals in a genuine collaborative and apprenticeship style interaction which can lead to original research. The activities, generated by professional astronomers and teachers, include investigations of the mass of Jupiter by measuring the motion of one of its moons, spatial dimensions of the solar system, collaborative searches for varying sources, plotting light curves, and distance to distant objects. Materials will include an introductory video, student materials, and software for students to conduct their own image processing activities.
