But what even is a space telescope? Space telescopes are used to observe astronomical objects. The JWST specifically is a space telescope designed for infrared astronomy. This means that the JWST monitors and analyzes light from the universe in the infrared (radiation given off from warm objects) range.

The instructor’s PPT slides are brilliant. You’ve splurged on the expensive interactive courseware. Student engagement is stellar. So… why are half of your students still forgetting everything they learned in just a matter of weeks? It's likely a matter of cognitive science! With so much material to "teach" these days, we often forget to incorporate key proven principles into our curricula — namely active recall, metacognition, spaced repetition, and interleaving practice.

We all know about Pluto, the former 9th planet in our solar system that was relegated down to the status of a dwarf planet. However, the other dwarf planets are rarely acknowledged despite them being just as fascinating as their larger planetary counterparts! So what separates dwarf planets from planets?

Irving, TX The Multiverse Theory is the idea that beyond our observable universe, parallel universes exist as well - a groundbreaking theory that challenges the adopted single-universe idea. The multiverse consists of infinite universes parallel to our current universe that consist of their own law of physics, stars, planets, and maybe even civilizations.
