We present highly sampled photometry of the supernova (SN) 2023ixf, a Type II SN in M101, beginning 2 days before its first known detection. To gather these data, we enlisted global Unistellar Network citizen scientists. These 252 observations from 115 telescopes show SN's rising brightness associated with shock emergence followed by gradual decay. measure peak $M_{V}$ = -18.18 $\pm$ 0.09 mag at 2023-05-25 21:37 UTC agreement previously published analyses.
<p>A mixed-method quasi-experimental study was designed to determine how 130 undergraduates in an introductory astronomy survey course laboratory changed their understanding of scientific inquiry working as individuals relative isolation compared small, collaborative learning groups when using specially curricula based on a backwards faded scaffolding approach (Slater, Slater, &amp; Lyons, 2010). The results this two-group comparison were determined by examining the change...
Two-year college (TYC) physics teachers are not often required to provide student research experiences as a part of their contracted duties. However, some TYC faculty members interested in developing opportunities for freshman- and sophomore-level students, called “early undergraduate research” (EUR). Here suggestions if you managing EUR at your TYC.
As a member of pilot group for the NASA Community College Network (NCCN), now called Unistellar Astronomy (UCAN), I was awarded an eVscope from and SETI Institute1 to test incorporate into my teaching. The is 4.5-inch telescope that produces digital image viewed on app smart device (Fig. 1). It has ability stack images four-second exposures in “Enhanced Vision,” remove background noise, enhance dim deep space objects. Although can resolve planetary objects such as Saturn Jupiter, it really...
