Education
In this section we will provide in the future lesson material aimed at teachers which use the context of the search and characterization of exoplanets as background. The lessons will cover curricular subjects such as physics, chemistry, maths, biology and astronomy.
If you need any information about the search and characterization of exoplanets or would like to visit our institute with your school class please contact our media & outreach team.
You plan to make a real observation of the stars? The Stellarium Gornergrat offers you several possibilities.
universe@home
On the page universe@home you will find a collection of multimedia offers, tinkering material, downloads and exciting pages for all those who want to experience and understand space at home. Some of the material comes directly from the NCCR PlanetS, others come from external offers.
Exoplanet Pillar
Would you like to place one of our exoplanet pillars in your museum, school library, shopping center or another well frequented place? The pillars tell the story about the discovery of the first exoplanet, about the space telescope CHEOPS and the NCCR PlanetS. Learn more about these fantastic eye-catchers.
