Una uthisha ngo-1876 uthunge ngesandla lo quilt ukusiza ekilasini lakho lezinkanyezi ukuthi amaplanethi azungeza kanjani iLanga ohlelweni lwethu lwelanga. Umsebenzi wobuciko wokufundisa futhi ngaleyo ndlela ubonise ngokusobala ukuthi iplanethi yethu ihamba kanjani emjikelezweni ongapheli ozungeze inkosi yenkanyezi.
Igama lakhe kwakungu U-Ellen Harding Baker, isazi sezinkanyezi saseMelika sekhulu le-XNUMX owayedume ngendlela yakhe ethile yokufundisa nokwenza izifundo ezifundweni zakhe. Kuzwakale ukuthi uchithe iminyaka engu-7 ethunga lonke uhlelo lwonozungezilanga emgqonyeni, abewusebenzisa ukufundisa abafundi bakhe.
Ubukhulu be-quilt ne-Solar System bafinyelele kuma-intshi angama-89 x 106 futhi yayenziwe ngendwangu yoboya, ezoqedelwa nge-appliqué enkulu enemibala, amagoda omkhonto kanye nokufekethiswa kukasilika.
Ngokufana nemifanekiso ezincwadini zezinkanyezi zesikhathi, ikhombisa iLanga lizungeze isikhungo, amaplanethi ayisishiyagalombili wesimiso sethu sonozungezilanga, kanye nendandatho ye-asteroid kanye nengxube yezinkanyezi ezahlukahlukene.
Ungabona futhi nenyanga yoMhlaba, izinyanga zaseGalile zikaJupiter nezinyanga eziningi zikaSaturn, uNeptune, no-Uranus; waze waba nenjabulo yokwengeza izindandatho zeSaturn nge-applique ephuzi.
Ekugcineni singabona i- ikhayithi elikhulu ekhoneni eliphezulu kwesokunxele okuthiwa imele iHalley's Comet, eyagcina ukubonwa (ngaphambi kokudala umcibisholo wayo) ngo-1835.
Una i-quilt efekethisiwe emangalisayo ehlala njengesibonelo Kuhle kakhulu ekutheni isayensi yezinkanyezi ingafundiswa kanjani ngokusebenzisa umcabango omncane kanye nesifiso sokufundisa isigaba, njengo-Ellen's. Ezinsukwini ezimbili nje ngemuva kokufika kwe- "Insight", irobhothi elisha le-NASA, sikhumbula lesi sazi esikhulu sezinkanyezi nokuzinikela kwaso ekufundiseni.
