A 3D Universe? Students' and professors' perception of multidimensionality

Eriksson, Urban LU orcid and Steffen, Wolfgang (2018) In Proceedings of the International Astronomical Union 14(A30). p.573-574
Abstract

This paper discusses the importance of learning to understand the three-dimensionality of astronomical objects, in particular nebulae. After collecting data from students' and professors' discernment of 3D we finds that this is difficult for both students and professors, which highlights the importance of addressing extrapolating three-dimensionality in astronomy education.
