This worksheet was made using the text from Ask an Astronomer for KIDS. As we discussed the concepts, students drew pictures to illustrate how these concepts worked.
Gravity, or gravitation, is a natural phenomenon by which all things with mass are brought toward (or gravitate toward) one another, including planets, stars and galaxies.
Since energy and mass are equivalent, all forms of energy, including light, also cause gravitation and are under the influence of it.
On Earth, gravity gives weight to physical objects and causes the ocean tides.

Astronomers are gravity experts. All of the heavenly motions described in the preceding chapters are dominated by gravitation. Isaac Newton gets the credit for discovering gravity, but even Newton couldn’t explain what gravity was. Einstein proposed that gravity is a curvature of space, but that only pushes the mystery further away. “What is curvature?” we might ask.
This chapter shows how scientists build theories to explain and unify observations. Theories can give us entirely new ways to understand nature, but no theory is an end in itself. Astronomers continue to study Einstein’s theory, and they wonder if there is an even better way to understand the motions of the heavens.
The principles we discuss in this chapter will be companions through the remaining chapters. Gravity is universal.

(May 29th, 2024) Advancements in Intravital Microscopy- Insights for Preclini...Scintica Instrumentation
Intravital microscopy (IVM) is a powerful tool utilized to study cellular behavior over time and space in vivo. Much of our understanding of cell biology has been accomplished using various in vitro and ex vivo methods; however, these studies do not necessarily reflect the natural dynamics of biological processes. Unlike traditional cell culture or fixed tissue imaging, IVM allows for the ultra-fast high-resolution imaging of cellular processes over time and space and were studied in its natural environment. Real-time visualization of biological processes in the context of an intact organism helps maintain physiological relevance and provide insights into the progression of disease, response to treatments or developmental processes.
In this webinar we give an overview of advanced applications of the IVM system in preclinical research. IVIM technology is a provider of all-in-one intravital microscopy systems and solutions optimized for in vivo imaging of live animal models at sub-micron resolution. The system’s unique features and user-friendly software enables researchers to probe fast dynamic biological processes such as immune cell tracking, cell-cell interaction as well as vascularization and tumor metastasis with exceptional detail. This webinar will also give an overview of IVM being utilized in drug development, offering a view into the intricate interaction between drugs/nanoparticles and tissues in vivo and allows for the evaluation of therapeutic intervention in a variety of tissues and organs. This interdisciplinary collaboration continues to drive the advancements of novel therapeutic strategies.

Deep Behavioral Phenotyping in Systems Neuroscience for Functional Atlasing a...Ana Luísa Pinho
Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) provides means to characterize brain activations in response to behavior. However, cognitive neuroscience has been limited to group-level effects referring to the performance of specific tasks. To obtain the functional profile of elementary cognitive mechanisms, the combination of brain responses to many tasks is required. Yet, to date, both structural atlases and parcellation-based activations do not fully account for cognitive function and still present several limitations. Further, they do not adapt overall to individual characteristics. In this talk, I will give an account of deep-behavioral phenotyping strategies, namely data-driven methods in large task-fMRI datasets, to optimize functional brain-data collection and improve inference of effects-of-interest related to mental processes. Key to this approach is the employment of fast multi-functional paradigms rich on features that can be well parametrized and, consequently, facilitate the creation of psycho-physiological constructs to be modelled with imaging data. Particular emphasis will be given to music stimuli when studying high-order cognitive mechanisms, due to their ecological nature and quality to enable complex behavior compounded by discrete entities. I will also discuss how deep-behavioral phenotyping and individualized models applied to neuroimaging data can better account for the subject-specific organization of domain-general cognitive systems in the human brain. Finally, the accumulation of functional brain signatures brings the possibility to clarify relationships among tasks and create a univocal link between brain systems and mental functions through: (1) the development of ontologies proposing an organization of cognitive processes; and (2) brain-network taxonomies describing functional specialization. To this end, tools to improve commensurability in cognitive science are necessary, such as public repositories, ontology-based platforms and automated meta-analysis tools. I will thus discuss some brain-atlasing resources currently under development, and their applicability in cognitive as well as clinical neuroscience.
Richard's aventures in two entangled wonderlandsRichard Gill
Since the loophole-free Bell experiments of 2020 and the Nobel prizes in physics of 2022, critics of Bell's work have retreated to the fortress of super-determinism. Now, super-determinism is a derogatory word - it just means "determinism". Palmer, Hance and Hossenfelder argue that quantum mechanics and determinism are not incompatible, using a sophisticated mathematical construction based on a subtle thinning of allowed states and measurements in quantum mechanics, such that what is left appears to make Bell's argument fail, without altering the empirical predictions of quantum mechanics. I think however that it is a smoke screen, and the slogan "lost in math" comes to my mind. I will discuss some other recent disproofs of Bell's theorem using the language of causality based on causal graphs. Causal thinking is also central to law and justice. I will mention surprising connections to my work on serial killer nurse cases, in particular the Dutch case of Lucia de Berk and the current UK case of Lucy Letby.
1. WHERE DOES GRAVITY COME FROM?
The normal individual most likely doesn't consider it once a day, however yet gravity
influences everything we might do. In light of gravity, we tumble down (not up), objects
collide with the floor, and we don't go taking off into space when we hop noticeable all
around. The familiar proverb, "everything that goes up must descend" bodes well to
everybody on the grounds that from the day we are conceived, we are will undoubtedly
Earth's surface because of this all-inescapable undetectable drive. Be that as it may, physicists
consider gravity constantly. To them, gravity is one of the riddles to be comprehended
keeping in mind the end goal to get a total comprehension of how the Universe functions. We
know from Isaac Newton and his law of attractive energy that any two questions in the
Universe apply a constrain of fascination on each other. This relationship depends on the
mass of the two articles and the separation between them. The more noteworthy the mass of
the two articles and the shorter the separation between them, the more grounded the draw of
the gravitational strengths they apply on each other.
We additionally realize that gravity can work in a mind boggling framework with a few
articles. For instance, in our own Solar System, not exclusively does the Sun apply gravity on
every one of the planets, keeping them in their circles; however every planet applies a drive
of gravity on the Sun, and additionally the various planets, as well, all to changing degrees in
light of the mass and separation between the bodies. Furthermore, it goes past simply our
Solar System, as really, every question that has mass in the Universe pulls in each other
protest that has mass — once more, all to differing degrees in view of mass and separation.
With his hypothesis of relativity, Albert Einstein clarified how gravity is something other
than a drive: it is an ebb and flow in the space-time continuum. That sounds like something
straight out of sci-fi, however basically, the mass of a question makes the space around it
basically twist and bend. This is regularly depicted as a substantial ball sitting on an elastic
sheet, and other littler balls fall in towards the heavier protest on the grounds that the elastic
sheet is distorted from the overwhelming ball's weight. In actuality, we can't see ebb and flow
of space specifically, yet we can recognize it in the movements of items. Any question "got"
in another divine body's gravity is influenced in light of the fact that the space it is traveling
through is bended toward that protest. It is like the way a coin would winding down one of
those penny space twister machines you see at visitor shops, or the way bikes winding around
a velodrome.
