Question

begin: visit each of the following websites using the links provided by the teacher: nasa eyes on the solar system: https://eyes.nasa.gov/apps/solar - system/ hubble image gallery: https://esahubble.org/images/archive/category/spacecraft/ mars rover simulator: https://mars.nasa.gov/msl/mission/rover/ james webb 3d visualization: https://webb.nasa.gov/content/webblaunch/whereiswebb.html next: 1. choose three of the four tools (that you see listed above) to explore in depth. 2. for each one, answer the following questions in the table below: a. what is the tool? b. what data does it collect? c. what is one discovery made possible by this tool? d. how does it help improve or update our understanding of the solar system? choice #1 choice #2 choice #3 what is the tool? what does it collect? name one discovery it has made. how does it help improve or update our understanding of the solar system? then:

Explanation:

To answer this, one must visit the provided websites for each tool. For example, NASA Eyes on the Solar System is a virtual - exploration tool. It can collect data on the positions, movements, and characteristics of solar - system bodies. A discovery could be new insights into planetary orbits. It helps update our understanding by providing real - time and visual data. Similar research and answers can be found for the other tools by exploring their respective websites.

Answer:

For CHOICE #1 (assuming NASA Eyes on the Solar System):

• What is the tool? A virtual exploration application for the solar system.
• What does it collect? Data on positions, movements, and features of solar - system objects.
• Name one discovery it has made. New insights into planetary orbital dynamics.
• How does it help improve or update our understanding of the solar system? By providing real - time and visual data on solar - system bodies.

For CHOICE #2 (assuming Hubble Image Gallery):

• What is the tool? An image archive of spacecraft - related images from the Hubble Space Telescope.
• What does it collect? High - resolution images of space objects, including spacecraft, stars, and galaxies.
• Name one discovery it has made. Detection of new celestial phenomena through visual data.
• How does it help improve or update our understanding of the solar system? By offering visual evidence of solar - system and extra - solar events and objects.

For CHOICE #3 (assuming Mars Rover Simulator):

• What is the tool? A simulation of the Mars rover's operations.
• What does it collect? Data on Martian terrain, geology, and potential signs of past or present life.
• Name one discovery it has made. Identification of possible habitable zones on Mars.
• How does it help improve or update our understanding of the solar system? By providing data on Mars' environment and its potential for supporting life.
