Introduction
Developed and delivered at your school by the ARC Centre of Excellence for Gravitational Wave Discovery, Missions Gravity combines classic scientific modelling.
Program Overview:
This program facilitates the investigation of fundamental astronomical principles through a series of analytical and experiential activities, including virtual reality simulations. Participants will engage in quantitative analysis of light wavelengths to estimate stellar and planetary temperatures, apply geometric relationships to determine celestial object diameters, and utilize orbital mechanics to calculate mass. Furthermore, spectral analysis will be employed to ascertain the chemical composition of stars, demonstrating the relationship between light spectra and elemental abundance.
