And that's it (for now)!

Now that your head is filled with acronyms and multi-syllable words, it is time to return to the classroom and apply some of these concepts. In the simulation you will be performing, you will compare two star maps and use the differences between them to calculate the age of the universe. If you are using The Universe Adventure in the classroom, you teacher will probably provide the lab materials. If you are visiting this site on your own, you can download the labs in Adobe Acrobat format. You will need a viewer to view and print these documents. Acrobat Reader is free and available for most operating systems from the Adobe Acrobat Download page.

Enjoy this investigation, and hurry back!
