Modeling Stellar Evolution Using NASA Images, Data, and
STEM Analysis Tools
Los Angeles Convention Center - 507
Model stellar evolution processes using NASA images,
plotting H-R diagram transitions, and determining the chemistry and physics of
supernovas using NASA STEM image analysis tools.
Takeaways: 1. Knowledge of the process of how stars form and change over time ending in catastrophic events, providing conditions for the formation of planets; 2. Students will understand that all knowledge of celestial events is determined by analyzing the light from these events and providing possibilities—not definitive answers, as the data can be interpreted differently; and 3. Image analysis software tools allow scientists to gain detailed information of stellar physical and chemical processes and constantly refine our evolving models of stellar evolution.
