Your first activity is to inspect a small set of galaxies, and to group them according to the features which seem most important to you
Subject:BiologyPrice: Bought3
Your first activity is to inspect a small set of galaxies, and to group them according to the features which seem most important to you. Take your time, carefully observe shapes, color variations, and subtle differences between the galaxies, and have fun.
Take a look at the Galaxy Mosaic (Links to an external site.).
You will be presented with a 6 by 6 grid containing 25 galaxies and 11 blank spaces. Your task is to sort the galaxies into rows, placing those which seem most similar together. (The blank spaces are provided so that you can place between 1 and 6 galaxies on each row.) It is up to you to decide what features that you see in the galaxy images are the most important, including brightness, color, shape, and orientation. Your goal is not to duplicate the precise ordering done by anyone else, but to investigate all of the information provided in the images and to decide which common factors matter most. You need to decide which features are most significant, and then to describe clearly what you have done. When you have sorted the galaxies to your satisfaction, save a JPG-format copy of the mosaic and upload it here by clicking the link above.
