This
lithograph
traces
the
emergence

color
change
of
an
Earth-sized
storm
on
Jupiter.
The
storm
appears
to
be
the
same
color
as
Jupiter's
trademark
Great
Red
Spot
and
has
been
dubbed
Red
Spot
Jr.
In

This activity demonstrates what a dipole magnetic field looks like in 3D. It was developed because the commonly used classroom demo (iron filings on a sheet of paper on top of a bar magnet) leads to student misconception that magnetic fields are two-dimensional. The reverse side of the lithograph features an artist's conception of a gamma-ray image of a supernova.

In
this
activity,
students
download
NASA
Hubble
Space
Telescope
(HST)
images
of
the
Martian
polar
ice
caps
in
summer
and
winter.
Using
image
processing
techniques,
students
measure
and
compare
various
images
of
the
changing
Martian
and
Earth
polar
ice
caps.
By
completing
this
activity,
they
will
understand
that
the
sizes
of
the
polar
ice
caps
on
Earth
and
Mars
depend
on
the
lengths
of
the
seasons.
