Gaseous-object astronomy is a lecture and an article about specific astronomical entities composed mostly of gases at least as detected. It is also a lecture as part of the astronomy series on object astronomy.

You are free to take this quiz based on gaseous-object astronomy at any time.

To improve your score, read and study the lecture, the links contained within, listed under See also, and in the astronomy resources template. This should give you adequate background to get 100 %.

As a "learning by doing" resource, this quiz helps you to assess your knowledge and understanding of the information, and it is a quiz you may take over and over as a learning resource to improve your knowledge, understanding, test-taking skills, and your score.

A suggestion is to have the lecture available in a separate window.

To master the information and use only your memory while taking the quiz, try rewriting the information from more familiar points of view, or be creative with association.

Enjoy learning by doing!

13. True or False, The purpose of a treatment group for gaseous-object astronomy is to describe natural processes or phenomena for the first time relative to a control group.

TRUE
FALSE

Research

Hypothesis:

  1. Gaseous objects in the interplanetary medium have their shapes affected by the solar wind.

Control groups

The findings demonstrate a statistically systematic change from the status quo or the control group.

“In the design of experiments, treatments [or special properties or characteristics] are applied to [or observed in] experimental units in the treatment group(s).[1] In comparative experiments, members of the complementary group, the control group, receive either no treatment or a standard treatment.[2]"[3]

Proof of concept

Def. a “short and/or incomplete realization of a certain method or idea to demonstrate its feasibility"[4] is called a proof of concept.

Def. evidence that demonstrates that a concept is possible is called proof of concept.

The proof-of-concept structure consists of

  1. background,
  2. procedures,
  3. findings, and
  4. interpretation.[5]
