This two-part module uses the Image
Viewer Tool to investigate various properties of long, narrow
filamentary structures in the Galactic center obtained in radio
wavelengths with the Very Large Array
radio telescope. Images of the filaments at two radio frequencies are
compared with the Blender
Tool to understand the underlying physics responsible for these
unusual structures. The fist part is appropriate for an introductory
class and the second part asks more sophisticated questions
appropriate for an advanced class.
