Explore how telescopes extend our view of the Universe and learn how their design affects magnification, resolution, light grasp and field of view. Then study the Moon and Sun, including lunar exploration, solar activity, the solar wind and its effects on Earth.
Discover how the Solar System formed and developed, and compare the planets, moons, asteroids, dwarf planets and comets within it. Explore space missions, exoplanet detection and the conditions astronomers look for when searching for life beyond Earth.
Workbook 3
Explore how astronomers measure the brightness, distance, temperature and composition of stars, and use this evidence to classify them. Follow the life cycles of stars and learn how different parts of the electromagnetic spectrum reveal features invisible to our eyes.
Workbook 4
Journey beyond individual stars to explore galaxies and the large-scale structure of the Universe. Learn about the Milky Way, active galaxies, redshift and Hubble’s Law before examining the Big Bang, cosmic expansion, dark matter, dark energy and the possible fate of the Universe.
