NASA’s Universe of Learning Science Briefing: August 2019

The resources in this list pertain to the presentation given on August 8th, 2019, titled, "Deep Fields: Chandra and Hubble Uncover the Growth of Early Galaxies".

This material is based upon work supported by NASA under cooperative agreement award number NNX16AC65A to the Space Telescope Science Institute, working in partnership with Caltech/IPAC, Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory, and Sonoma State University. Any opinions, findings, and conclusions or recommendations expressed in this material are those of the author(s) and do not necessarily reflect the views of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. 1

NASA's Universe of Learning is a program which will integrate NASA's Astrophysics Science Mission Directorate programs, and will advance STEM learning and literacy by creating and delivering a unified suite of education products, programs, and professional development that spans the full spectrum of NASA Astrophysics. NASA's Universe of Learning is partnering with the Museum Alliance to provide professional development briefings for the informal science education community. These briefings provide current NASA Astrophysics themes, content, and resources to the informal community. These curated lists present the resources described during the briefings. To find the briefings, you can go here: http://universe-of-learning.org/science_briefing.

A Quick Look at Chandra Deep Field South: What happens when astronomers use Chandra to take a long look at the same patch of sky? This video explores the early X-ray universe through the Chandra Deep Field South.

Growth of early black holes: Video showing black hole growth in the Chandra Deep Field South

ViewSpace “Gathering Light” interactive Slider: Interactive activity that demonstrates how looking at one patch of sky for an extended period of time allow us to see details that are otherwise too faint, small, or distant to distinguish.

ViewSpace playlists: Feature will be added in October to Create playlists from keyword tags or use new, pre-formulated playlists. New content regarding the Early Universe coming as well.

Deep Field photo gallery: A collection of images of active galaxies and their black holes from the Chandra X-ray Observatory.
