Scientific Results from the Goddard High Resolution Spectrograph
The Goddard High Resolution Spectrograph (GHRS), a scientific instrument of the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) launched into Earth-orbit in April 1990, is making possible notable advances in the ultraviolet spectroscopy of celestial objects. The GHRS science team has collected some of the most significant GHRS scientific results into an informative and exciting presentation of new astronomical discovery. This ExInEd Electronic PictureBook is an effective communication tool for professional researchers, and is of interest to anyone with some knowledge of astronomy or physics, including students, teachers, amateur astronomers, and science writers and editors.
Electronic PictureBooks are HyperCard® stacks designed to run on a color Macintosh® computer with at least 2.5 megabytes of available RAM, sufficient hard disk space to contain the Electronic Picturebook, System 7.0, and HyperCard 2.1 or HyperCard Player 2.1.
This Electronic PictureBook is one of a series being produced by the Exploration in Education (ExInEd) program at the Special Studies Office of the Space Telescope Science Institute (ST ScI). The purpose of the ExInEd program is to discover new tools and approaches to relate space science and exploration to basic teaching and learning, and it involves searching for new ways to assemble and distribute the results of research, particularly images.
For more information on the ExInEd program, or to provide comments or suggestions on the Electronic PictureBook concept, please write to: Dr. Robert A. Brown, Special Studies Office, Space Telescope Science Institute, 3700 San Martin Drive, Baltimore, MD 21218. FAX: (410) 516-7450 Internet: rbrown@stsci.edu
