FROM OBSERVATION TO RESEARCH
Sky & Webb
From observation to research: a source-linked route into the universe.
Looking at the sky is a beginning; understanding what you see is a journey of discovery. SpaceTRC aims to provide a learning space that connects planets, stars and deep-space research. Start with the Solar System atlas, examine basic concepts in research dossiers and deepen your knowledge through official mission sources.
Location, date and time matter for sky observation. The AstroViewer link opens an external resource that helps you learn the sky. For Webb discoveries, consider original images, explanations and observing context published through Webbtelescope.org together. Understanding the kind of light used to create an image and how colours are assigned turns an impressive picture into a scientific account.
Our planet guides and research articles are starting points for reaching these sources. When reading a claim, distinguish observations, interpretations and open research questions; check its source and publication date. Build a curiosity list, examine a topic at different scales and continue exploring through new questions. NASA, Webb and AstroViewer links lead to the respective organisations’ own websites.
