Imaging Interacting Galaxies
Summary
This is a straightforward project to image a number of interacting galaxies
in colour, and then to identify different features visible in the images. Students can also make
basic measurements on their interacting galaxies, (for example, how far apart they are in the sky,)
using a simple spreadsheet based measuring tool, the Jpeg Viewer.
