Week 10 | Discussion

"Chapters 26 and 27" 

This week I would like to offer TWO options for discussion. You may pick whichever you prefer, or do both if you like! For both options you must  make a substantive reply to at least two fellow students.

OPTION 1:

For your primary post, provide a link to a current news article or science article that is related to at least one topic from Chapter 26 “Solar System” and/or Chapter 27 “Stars & Galaxies.”

In addition to the link, write a paragraph of at least 125 words describing the article and how it relates to the material from the textbook. Which concepts from the text does it mention, cover or depend on? Is the article more or less detailed on the science than the textbook?

OR OPTION 2:

Watch the first  video in the Instructor Insights Section of Week 10:

And read about Light Years here:

Respond to the following:

1.       What did you learn from the video about the size of our solar system?

2.       What did you learn about the size of our galaxy?

3.       What did you learn about the size of the known universe?

4.       Why do we measure astronomical distances in Light Years?

Please include any reactions you had to the video
