uses
a
collection
of
Hubble
Space
Telescope
(HST)
images
of
galaxies
in
the
Coma
Cluster,
and
engages
students
in
an
inquiry-based
learning
activity
studying
the
evolution
of
galaxies
in
dense
clustered
environments.
Students
learn
the
basics
of
galaxy
classification
by
making
use
of
the
HST
images
to
discover
a
"morphology-density
effect,"
and
will
then
make
hypotheses
about
the
cause

This activity and demonstration teaches the concept of parallax (the apparent movement of an object caused by a change in the viewer's position) and relates the concept to a real-world astronomical event, the discovery of Pluto. It employs the Blink Comparator, an online simulation illustrating the technique used by Clyde Tombaugh to discover the ninth planet on February 18, 1930.
