Open Universe: Bringing astronomical research and exploration into the classroom
Abstract
Looking at the night sky, one is drawn to the beauty and mystery of what lies beyond the blue marble
we inhabit. For millennia, generations of scientists, philosophers and artists have asked fundamental
questions about the Universe. Over time each generation has managed to piece together another
part of the puzzle that is our Universe. These advances have been made possible using data
generated by observations – from the unaided eye to state-of-the-art instrumentation.
