My rating of this resource: ****

My experience using this resource:
Earth Science

Topic I was teaching:
gravitational pull

My learning goal for which this resource was used:
to show how gravity can exert a pull even on light waves

Course Level:
Intro or Regular

How I/my students used the resource:
students saw a picture of how light bends around a very massive object creating "artifacts" on a picture

Value Added:
Provides visualization or animation, Increases access to scientists, Provides additional content

Strengths:
These images are spectacular and very easy to find - since the website lists all of them

Students get to see images of space that they will not see anywhere else

Very easy to start a discussion after viewing any of these spectacular images

Besides a picture this website provides a short explanation of what you se in the picture

Weaknesses:
none
