Create a Hubble Tuning Fork diagram

In this project you will use data taken with the LCOGT network, to produce colour images of galaxies of different types, and create your own Hubble tuning fork diagram.

Making Craters

Group: Asteroid and Comet Observing
23 October, 2008
During this activity you will be simulating the effect of a meteorite impact on the Earth. You can change the physical character of both the meteorite and type of ground that it hits and see what happens. The simulated results will be compared to existing Earth craters at various locations across the globe.
