Stars/Yellows/Quiz

Yellow stars is a lecture from the radiation astronomy department for possible inclusion in the course on the principles of radiation astronomy.

You are free to take this quiz based on yellow stars.

To improve your scores, read and study the lecture, the links contained within, listed under See also, External links and in the 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.

Suggestion: Have the lecture available in a separate window.
