For Peer Instruction to succeed, students need to be able to focus quickly on the concept in an interactive way that highlights the most common misconceptions. ConcepTests are multiple choice questions which the students pose to each other in small groups, during class. ... We have begun to compile a library of ConcepTests for introductory astronomy. ... ConcepTest questions should be short, conceptual, multiple choice tests that can be presented without elaborate diagrams. ...

Role-playing exercises can be an excellent way for you and your club members to share effective ways to interact with the public in difficult situations. ... Plan to allow 20 minutes for each scenario -- 5 minutes for the role-playing and 15 minutes for a discussion. ... Sharing the Universe is based upon work supported by the Informal Education Division of the National Science Foundation under Grant no DRL-0638873. ...

... We have measured this "redshift" for the pink black holes, and allowed for it in our calculations. ... We see this effect in the emission from gas around these pink black holes, but it is far too small an effect to account for the pinkness. Thus the swirling motions of gas around or into the black holes cannot produc the colour. ... At first we thought that these things were normal blue black holes hidden behind clouds of interstellar dust, that absorbed the blue light and made them appear pink. ...

Colors are given essentially in the UBV system. They are : . total asymptotic colors ubt for (U-B)T . total asymptotic colors bvt for (B-V)T . effective colors ube for ((U-B)e (colors within the effective aperture in which half the total B-flux is emitted) . effective colors bve for ((B-V)e (same as for ube) Total assymptotic colors bvtc and ubtc are corrected for galactic extinction, inclination and redshift effect (see e.g. btc documentation) .
