This lesson plan is part of the Center for Educational Resources (CERES), a series of web-based astronomy lessons created by a team of master teachers, university faculty, and NASA researchers. In this lesson, students download Hubble Space Telescope (HST) images of star-forming regions of the Orion nebula and look for evidence of planetary systems forming beyond our own solar system. This lesson contains expected outcomes for students, materials, background information, follow-up questions, and assessment procedures.
