Órbitas
Decodificando las Señales del Cielo

Basic Level

(8-12) years old

     
  When the indicator is fully coloured, there is material specifically developed for that level.

Intermediate Level

(12-15) years old

 
  When the indicator is half-coloured, the material from another level may be appropriated for this level. Give it a look!

Advanced Level

(15-18) years old

 
  When the indicator has no colour at all, the Science Case is not recomended for that level.

Super Hero Level

(Early University)

 
     

 

Measure the Coronal Mass Ejections by tracking them from SOHO/LASCO imagesYou will learn about their evolution and how to estimaate speed by tracking them in time-separated images. 
 
Keywords: Sun, SOHO
 
Levels available:
 
 

 

Measure the Sun's differential rotation by tracking sunspots at different latitudesYou will learn about the Sun's motion and how to estimate speed by tracking targets in time-separated images.
 
Keywords: SunCESO
 
Levels available:
 

 

Explore in ESASky and identify how the different astronomical objects may be observed. You will learn about the different process seen at the various spectral ranges and how to extract information from astronomical images.
 
Keywords: GalaxiesESASky
 
Levels available:
 

 

 

Explore in ESASky and clasify the galaxies you observe. You will learn about the structure of galaxies and how to extract information from astronomical images.
 
Keywords: Galaxies, ESASky
 
Levels available:
 

 

 

Explore several regions using ESASky to look for evidence of the interstellar medium. You will learn about the structure and properties of the ISM and how to extract information from astronomical images.
 
Keywords: ISM, ESASky
 
Levels available:
 
 

 Plan an observation, and calculate Jupiter's mass and the orbital periods of Jupiter's major moons.  You will learn about Kepler's Laws and how to get data from astronomical observations.

THE VENUS-SUN DISTANCE  UNDER REVIEW - AVAILABLE SOON
Calculate the Venus-Sun distance using astronomical images of a Venus transit in front of the Sun, taken by the CESAR team. You will learn about the motion of planets in the Solar System, and how to measure distances using triangles.
