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/wherelswebb.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? nasa eyes on the solar system hubble image gallery mars rover simulator what does it collect? data on solar system high - resolution of images from the hubble space telescope simulates rover operations and data collection name one discovery it has made. voyager 1s trajectory, aiding understanding of the heliosphere refinement of the hubble constant using cepheid variables helps in planning | i how does it help improve or update our understanding of the solar system?
- NASA Eyes on the Solar System: It provides a virtual - way to observe the solar system. The data on solar system bodies helps us track their movements and understand the heliosphere better. For example, tracking Voyager 1's trajectory gives insights into the outer - solar system environment.
- Hubble Image Gallery: The high - resolution images from the Hubble Space Telescope are used for various astronomical studies. The refinement of the Hubble constant using cepheid variables helps in understanding the scale and expansion of the universe, which is also relevant to our understanding of the solar system's place in the universe.
- Mars Rover Simulator: By simulating rover operations and data collection, it helps in planning real - life Mars rover missions. This improves our understanding of Mars, a key planet in our solar system, in terms of its geology, atmosphere, etc.
