Description

In this project, Dr Melanie King and Dr Claudia Mignone (INAF - Istituto Nazionale di Astrofisica, Rome) looked at the construction of astronomical images, considering artefacts that are removed from astronomical images. Astronomical images are highly mediated, for example - colours are added to represent chemicals present in a galaxy or nebula. In this project King, and Mignone viewed raw data images from the James Webb Telescope, and have been in discussion with Alyssa Pagan and Joseph Depasquale at NASA to learn more about their image editing processes. Mignone and King also met with Mark McCaughrean (Former Senior Advisor for Science & Exploration at the European Space Agency) about his work with astronomical imaging.

This project comprises several colour printing processes and sustainable printing techniques, which mimic the digital imaging processing techniques. It draws attention to the artefacts resulting from astronomical telescopes and from the printing processes themselves.

The Shaw-IAU workshops focus on astronomy education for primary and secondary school students and teacher training both in universities and in service. This year's workshop will feature two special topics: an exploration of the first two years of the James Webb Space Telescope for the scientific topic, and the crucial aspect of evaluation in educational contexts as the non-scientific topic.
The complete list of sessions is listed below:

Science topic –James Webb Space Telescope, the first two years
Special topic – evaluation
Astronomy education research
Teaching methods and tools
Astronomy education in schools in practice (primary and secondary schools)
