Using Visual Assessments and Tutorials to Teach Solar System Concepts in Introductory Astronomy [PDF]
Astronomy Education Review, 2010 Visual assessments and tutorials are instruments that rely on student construction and/or examination of pictures and/or diagrams rather than multiple choice and/or short answer questions. Being a very visual subject, astronomy lends itself to assessments and tutorials of this type.

Unveiling the Structure and Dynamics of Red Giants With Asteroseismology
Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2020 The Kepler mission observed many thousands of red giants. The long time series, some as long as the mission itself, have allowed us to study red giants with unprecedented detail. Given that red giants are intrinsically luminous, and hence can be observed

ANALYSIS OF SPHERICAL ASTRONOMY ALGORITHMS FOR PREDICTING THE SOLAR ECLIPSE BY W.M. SMART
Al-Hilal, 2022 A solar eclipse is an unusual natural occurrence. Muslims used the phenomenon of a solar eclipse as the season for prayer, which was only carried out during a solar eclipse from early in the phenomenon until the end.

Electron-scale nested quadrupole Hall field in Cluster observations of magnetic reconnection [PDF]
Annales Geophysicae, 2015 This paper presents the first evidence of a new and unique feature of spontaneous reconnection at multiple sites in electron current sheet, viz. a "nested quadrupole" structure of the Hall field at electron scales, in Cluster observations.

Radio astronomy and the solar system [PDF]
Symposium - International Astronomical Union, 1959 Radio astronomy has been expanding into outer space so fast in recent years that it is pleasant to find our own solar system at last receiving the attention it deserves. In this session we are concerned with everything within the system except the sun and our own planet. I start with a question, to which I shall return later: Where does the sun end? In
