- Colliding Galaxies Lesson Plan
- A sample lesson plan that shows how GalaxSee can be used to learn about how collisions between galaxies affect their shape.
- GalaxSee Test Drive
- A list of tasks that GalaxSee should be able to perform, intended to put GalaxSee through its paces for testing purposes. We include it here because it gives a quick, fairly comprehensive run through the operational aspects of GalaxSee's capabilities.
