1.1 Focus Question
What did our ancestors know about the sky?
(10000 years of looking at the stars in a few short slides!)
![Page 3: Getting Home - Movie Clip from Apollo 13 at WingClips.com](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103023/56649ddf5503460f94ad804b/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Frames of Reference• a set of axes of any kind that is used to
describe the positions or motions of things• Ex:
![Page 4: Getting Home - Movie Clip from Apollo 13 at WingClips.com](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103023/56649ddf5503460f94ad804b/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Stars as a Frame of Reference• To see how Mars moves, pick 2 bright stars and
record how close they are to Mars every night for a couple of weeks
• From this you can chart the motion of Mars and see how it moves in the sky
![Page 5: Getting Home - Movie Clip from Apollo 13 at WingClips.com](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103023/56649ddf5503460f94ad804b/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)

Tracking Cosmological Events• What is/are some cosmological event(s)?
• Two important ones were the summer & winter SOLSTICE
• Northern hemisphere– Summer solstice: around June 21– Winter solstice: around December 21
• How does this differ from the Southern Hemisphere?
![Page 7: Getting Home - Movie Clip from Apollo 13 at WingClips.com](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103023/56649ddf5503460f94ad804b/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
What did our ancestors see?• From earth– Sun rises & sets– Moon has phases and travels across the sky– Planets shift against a background of stars– Even constellations appear to change position in
the sky throughout the year
![Page 8: Getting Home - Movie Clip from Apollo 13 at WingClips.com](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103023/56649ddf5503460f94ad804b/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Constellations• unchanging patterns that form objects in the
sky• have names and folk tales created by people
to explain them. Ex. Ursa Major (the Great Bear), Orion (the hunter) and the Big Dipper.

Models for Planetary MotionGEOCENTRIC MODEL / Earth Centered
– Earth at the centre– Concentric spheres surrounding it representing
moon, Sun, and planets of the time– 2000 years ago Aristotle
![Page 11: Getting Home - Movie Clip from Apollo 13 at WingClips.com](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103023/56649ddf5503460f94ad804b/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
HELIOCENTRIC / Sun-centered Model• Started in 1530 with Copernicus (many other
scientists made contributions)• Sun at the center, everything revolved around it• Not spheres but ellipses
![Page 12: Getting Home - Movie Clip from Apollo 13 at WingClips.com](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103023/56649ddf5503460f94ad804b/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)

1.2 Discovery Through Technology• Technological advances continue to help us
understand more of what is happening so far away
![Page 14: Getting Home - Movie Clip from Apollo 13 at WingClips.com](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103023/56649ddf5503460f94ad804b/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
The Astronomer’s Tools• Pictures of some older tools on pg.378
(quadrant, astrolabe, cross staff)• With each new innovation, astronomers made
new discoveries and gained more knowledge• Big breakthrough TELESCOPE (16th century)
![Page 15: Getting Home - Movie Clip from Apollo 13 at WingClips.com](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103023/56649ddf5503460f94ad804b/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Measurement in Space• How would you measure the distance
between school and home?• How would you describe your height? – Need an appropriate unit of measurement for the
VAST SIZE of space
![Page 16: Getting Home - Movie Clip from Apollo 13 at WingClips.com](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103023/56649ddf5503460f94ad804b/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
• Astronomical Units (AU)– Inside the solar system– 1 Au = distance from centre of Earth to centre of
Sun– See pg.379
![Page 17: Getting Home - Movie Clip from Apollo 13 at WingClips.com](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103023/56649ddf5503460f94ad804b/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
• Light Years– Distance that light travels in one year (~9.5 trillion
kms)– Distance to star closest to Earth after the sun is 4
light years!!!
![Page 18: Getting Home - Movie Clip from Apollo 13 at WingClips.com](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103023/56649ddf5503460f94ad804b/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Looking into the Past• Because things are so far away and light can only travel
so fast what we see is “old”• When you see the moon you see it as it was a second
earlier bc the light had to travel to your eye– Light from the sun takes approx 8 min. to get to Earth– Light from Pluto 5 hrs– Some stars 25 000 years – Some images from Hubble 12 billion years
![Page 19: Getting Home - Movie Clip from Apollo 13 at WingClips.com](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103023/56649ddf5503460f94ad804b/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)

1.3 The Distribution of Matter in Space
STARS!!
![Page 21: Getting Home - Movie Clip from Apollo 13 at WingClips.com](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103023/56649ddf5503460f94ad804b/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Stars at Different Times of the Year
SunSun
![Page 22: Getting Home - Movie Clip from Apollo 13 at WingClips.com](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103023/56649ddf5503460f94ad804b/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
What is a STAR?• Hot, glowing ball of gas (hydrogen) that gives
off light• Stars vary in color depending on their surface
temperature
![Page 23: Getting Home - Movie Clip from Apollo 13 at WingClips.com](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103023/56649ddf5503460f94ad804b/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)

Life Cycle of a STAR• BIRTH– form in regions of space called nebulae (a lot of
gas and dust)– Gravity pulls together the gas and dust and they
react and if its reacts enough and gets hot enough it glows… a star is BORN
– Will become either a sun-like star or massive
![Page 26: Getting Home - Movie Clip from Apollo 13 at WingClips.com](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103023/56649ddf5503460f94ad804b/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)

• Death– Eventually a star runs out of fuel (hydrogen)– First it expands to a giant/supergiant– Next it starts collapsing into either a white dwarf or
supernova (star explosion)– Lastly it ends as either a
• Black dwarf cold, dark (not sure if they exist)• Neutron star anything left over from supernova• Black hole dense remains of star with so much gravity that
even light can’t escape
![Page 28: Getting Home - Movie Clip from Apollo 13 at WingClips.com](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103023/56649ddf5503460f94ad804b/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Galaxies• A grouping of millions or billions of stars, gas
and dust• Held together by gravity• The galaxy we live in is a spiral and is called
the Milky Way

1.4 Our Solar Neighborhood• Planetary System – Consists of a number of
planets, moons, asteroids, and cosmic dust orbiting a star
• Earth’s planetary system is called the Solar System.
![Page 32: Getting Home - Movie Clip from Apollo 13 at WingClips.com](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103023/56649ddf5503460f94ad804b/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
The Planets• each planet has its own unique features and characteristics
(p.394-396)• the solar system can be divided into two distinct planetary groups
– inner planets or terrestrial planets or Earth like• smaller, rockier in composition and closer to the sun• Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars
– outer planets, or Jovian planets• large, gaseous and located great distances from the sun• Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune
![Page 33: Getting Home - Movie Clip from Apollo 13 at WingClips.com](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103023/56649ddf5503460f94ad804b/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)

1.5 Describing Position• Suppose you were talking on
the phone to your friend. From your windows you are looking at the night sky. Your friend finds an interesting stellar object and wants you to look at it. How can you be sure you are both looking at the same thing?
![Page 38: Getting Home - Movie Clip from Apollo 13 at WingClips.com](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103023/56649ddf5503460f94ad804b/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
1.5 Describing Position• Two questions need to be answers– How HIGH in the sky is it?– Which DIRECTION?
– Solved using two simple measurements
![Page 39: Getting Home - Movie Clip from Apollo 13 at WingClips.com](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103023/56649ddf5503460f94ad804b/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Azimuth• Compass direction

2.1
Getting There : Technologies for Space
Transport
![Page 44: Getting Home - Movie Clip from Apollo 13 at WingClips.com](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103023/56649ddf5503460f94ad804b/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
What “things” have humans sent up to space?
![Page 45: Getting Home - Movie Clip from Apollo 13 at WingClips.com](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103023/56649ddf5503460f94ad804b/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
First Things First…• First step figure out a way to get off the
planet• Relies on physics for every action there is an
equal and opposite reaction– Eg: balloon (very simple rocket)
![Page 46: Getting Home - Movie Clip from Apollo 13 at WingClips.com](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103023/56649ddf5503460f94ad804b/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
![Page 47: Getting Home - Movie Clip from Apollo 13 at WingClips.com](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103023/56649ddf5503460f94ad804b/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
RocketsThere are three basic parts to a rocket
• Structural & Mechanical Elements– Everything from the rocket itself to engines, storage tanks and the
fins on the outside• Fuel (uses a chemical reaction)
– Any number of materials including liquid oxygen or hydrogen– The mixture is ignited in a combustion chamber causing the gases to
expand and leave as exhaust• Payload
– The materials needed for the flight including crew cabins, food, water, air and people
![Page 48: Getting Home - Movie Clip from Apollo 13 at WingClips.com](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103023/56649ddf5503460f94ad804b/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
Exhaust Velocity• The speed at which the exhaust leaves the
rocket and determines the rocket’s flight distance and altitude.
![Page 49: Getting Home - Movie Clip from Apollo 13 at WingClips.com](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103023/56649ddf5503460f94ad804b/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
Into the FUTURE…• Can only go so far into space with our current
technology• Two new devices for propelling spacecraft
between the planets– Ion drives– Solar sails
![Page 50: Getting Home - Movie Clip from Apollo 13 at WingClips.com](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103023/56649ddf5503460f94ad804b/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
Gravitational Assist / SLINGSHOT• A method that allows the spacecraft to gain
extra speed by using the gravity of a planet to slingshot around it
![Page 51: Getting Home - Movie Clip from Apollo 13 at WingClips.com](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103023/56649ddf5503460f94ad804b/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)

ChallengesOutside our atmosphere is an environment that is
hostile to human life in many ways…
![Page 57: Getting Home - Movie Clip from Apollo 13 at WingClips.com](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103023/56649ddf5503460f94ad804b/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
More Challenges• Need water and oxygen but neither are readily available
Water• Devices exist that recycle almost 100% of the water in the ISS
Producing Oxygen• Electrolysis electricity splitting water molecules into their
component elements : In spacecraft, this process can supply most of the oxygen a crew needs
![Page 58: Getting Home - Movie Clip from Apollo 13 at WingClips.com](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103023/56649ddf5503460f94ad804b/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)
Technology• Has moved us forward so we can exist in space• The Space Suit (pg.421)– much more difficult environment than on Earth
• Challenges?

2.3 Space Technology & Human Needs
• Two types of satellites– natural satellite is any planet, moon, or asteroid
that orbits another larger celestial body– artificial satellite is a device made by humans, like
a spacecraft, telescope, or communication satellites that orbits. They mainly get their power from solar panels.
![Page 66: Getting Home - Movie Clip from Apollo 13 at WingClips.com](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103023/56649ddf5503460f94ad804b/html5/thumbnails/66.jpg)
Remote Sensing• What is it? the science of taking measurements of Earth or
other planets, from space• Why?
– show healthy vs. unhealthy vegetation.– Clear-cut and burned forests can be mapped.– Water pollution can be imaged– Erosion can be tracked– Weather can be tracked

Types of Orbits - GEOSYNCHRONOUS• An orbit that matches exactly to the rotation
of the Earth.• About 35,000 kms above the Earth.• Will remain above the same spot on the Earth
day and night.
![Page 68: Getting Home - Movie Clip from Apollo 13 at WingClips.com](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103023/56649ddf5503460f94ad804b/html5/thumbnails/68.jpg)
Types of Orbits – LOW EARTH• Revolves around the Earth in about 90
minutes.• Under 2000 km from the Earth.• Most satellites are found in this orbit = lots of
space debris!

3.1 TELESCOPES – Seeing the visible• Simple telescope uses 2 lenses– Objective lens: the large one at the front of the
telescope.– Ocular lens: is the eyepiece through which you
view the magnified object
![Page 71: Getting Home - Movie Clip from Apollo 13 at WingClips.com](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103023/56649ddf5503460f94ad804b/html5/thumbnails/71.jpg)
• To build a more powerful telescope you need to increase it’s resolving power. – fineness of detail – depends on the diameter of the objective lens
![Page 72: Getting Home - Movie Clip from Apollo 13 at WingClips.com](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103023/56649ddf5503460f94ad804b/html5/thumbnails/72.jpg)
• types of telescopes– Refracting: uses lenses• Problem: glass lenses can’t get bigger than 1 m or they
warp bc they are too heavy
– Reflecting: uses mirrors• Can detect very faint light• Uses a glass-like material that is lighter
![Page 73: Getting Home - Movie Clip from Apollo 13 at WingClips.com](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103023/56649ddf5503460f94ad804b/html5/thumbnails/73.jpg)
Interferometry• Multiple telescopes whose images are
combined (Keck Observatory in Hawaii)
The Hubble• Orbits 600 km above earth• Free from Earth’s atmosphere (which blurs images)• Has sent back some of the best detailed pictures of the universe seen so far.

More Telescope Info.• Today, large telescopes use charge-coupled
devices (CCD’s) instead of photo paper to record the images. These CCD’s are micro electric circuits that store the pictures.

Stump! • The Game: – One student is being asked questions by their
classmates– If they answer correctly they remain at the front of the
room, – If they are incorrect, the person asking MUST know
the answer to the question, if not the student remains at the front of the room.

3.2 Beyond the Visible• Many objects in space give off light other than the visible
spectrum
![Page 82: Getting Home - Movie Clip from Apollo 13 at WingClips.com](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103023/56649ddf5503460f94ad804b/html5/thumbnails/82.jpg)
Radio Telescopes• Some objects in space emit radio waves (radio objects)• Used a radio dish to “listen” to the sky• Benefits not affected by weather, used day or night,
can “look” into empty space• Drawbacks not very detailed• Can be combined just like optical telescopes
(remember what that’s called?)

3.3 Interpreting Space• Just by looking we can’t tell– How far away a star is– What it’s made of– Whether it is moving away or toward us
![Page 87: Getting Home - Movie Clip from Apollo 13 at WingClips.com](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103023/56649ddf5503460f94ad804b/html5/thumbnails/87.jpg)
How far away?• Triangulation– Based on geometry of a triangle– Determine how far away an object is
• By measuring the angles between a baseline and the object (such as a tall tree or a water tower), you can determine the distance to that object.
![Page 88: Getting Home - Movie Clip from Apollo 13 at WingClips.com](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103023/56649ddf5503460f94ad804b/html5/thumbnails/88.jpg)
![Page 89: Getting Home - Movie Clip from Apollo 13 at WingClips.com](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103023/56649ddf5503460f94ad804b/html5/thumbnails/89.jpg)
Ex: Measuring how far it is across a river• On a flat area along the bank of the river, measure
off an accurate baseline and mark each end of the line so that you can identify it easily.
• Select an object to be your viewing object on the opposite bank.
• Standing at one end of the baseline, use a protractor to determine the angle between your sight line to the object and the spot on the baseline where you are standing.
![Page 90: Getting Home - Movie Clip from Apollo 13 at WingClips.com](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103023/56649ddf5503460f94ad804b/html5/thumbnails/90.jpg)
• Stand at the other end of the baseline and again determine the angle from that spot to the object
• Make a scale drawing of a triangle using the length of the baseline and the two angles
• On your drawing, mark a perpendicular line from the baseline to the object.
• Measure this line and use the scale to convert it to actual length.
• This will give you the distance across the river
![Page 91: Getting Home - Movie Clip from Apollo 13 at WingClips.com](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103023/56649ddf5503460f94ad804b/html5/thumbnails/91.jpg)
Hint:• The longer you make the baseline, the more
accurate your distance will be.
![Page 92: Getting Home - Movie Clip from Apollo 13 at WingClips.com](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103023/56649ddf5503460f94ad804b/html5/thumbnails/92.jpg)
Try it!• A group of students went to a park to practice their triangulation skills. They
picked an object far away, set up a baseline, and measured the angle to their object at each end of the baseline, (see diagram). Their results are shown here.
Group
Baseline length (m) angle X angle Y
A 46 75º 78ºB 20 81º 77ºC 89 55º 71º
For each of the groups, use a scale diagram (on a separate piece of paper) to find the distance to the far object.
![Page 93: Getting Home - Movie Clip from Apollo 13 at WingClips.com](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103023/56649ddf5503460f94ad804b/html5/thumbnails/93.jpg)
• Later the students measured the actual distances to the objects. Their results are recorded here.
• Compare your results with the measured results shown. How close were you?
• Which group might be expected to get the closest result to the actual measured distance? Which group might be expected to get the least close result? Explain your reasoning.
• Suppose that you were going to do this experiment. You pick a tree about 200 m away and set up a baseline 40 m long directly opposite the tree. What angles should you expect to be measuring?
Group measured distance (m)A 96B 51C 85

How far away cont.• Parallax– Apparent shift of a nearby object when the object
is viewed from different places– Demo– Astronomers look at the shift in position of a star
relative to background stars to determine angles for triangulation
![Page 95: Getting Home - Movie Clip from Apollo 13 at WingClips.com](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103023/56649ddf5503460f94ad804b/html5/thumbnails/95.jpg)
Parallax – Contd.• The longest baseline we can use from Earth is
the diameter of Earth’s orbit• This means that measurements must be taken
six months apart to achieve the maximum baseline length
![Page 96: Getting Home - Movie Clip from Apollo 13 at WingClips.com](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103023/56649ddf5503460f94ad804b/html5/thumbnails/96.jpg)

• For sound, the waves being compressed or stretched out changes pitch
• For light, it changes color (R at one end of the spectrum, V at the other)
• If a star is approaching you the star’s spectrum shifts toward the shorter wavelength end of the spectrum –the blue end.
• If a star is going away from you, the spectral lines will be red shifted- moving toward the longer-wavelength part (red end) of the spectrum.
• Turn to page 383 and look at it and read Figure 5.26. It is definitely interesting
