Using Online Platforms of Space Telescopes in Teaching Astrophysics

Organizing the educational process for the so-called α-generation, according to the theory of generation, in the modern changing world is an urgent task. IT technologies are currently an integral part of science and education. Thanks to the capabilities and developments based on artificial intelligence, the teaching process can be significantly simplified, as well as the content of the academic discipline can be improved. The article examines the content of the discipline “Evolution of the Universe and problems of nuclear astrophysics” and, using the example of specific lectures, provides a methodology for studying topics using interactive methods. In this case, interactive methods mean the use of official websites of space telescopes, which contain up-to-date information and observational data on the emission spectra of stars, the power of solar flares, the quantitative and qualitative composition of the upper layers of the Earth’s atmosphere, etc. Studying and analyzing this data is a very painstaking work that requires concentration, attention and, of course, fundamental training in physics, which ultimately affects the development of students’ professional competencies. This technique also influences the increase in student interest, which entails the choice of a scientific direction and, as a consequence, the achievement of learning outcomes of the educational program.
