    This album will have backdrop images that relate to the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams.  I already tie-in Douglas Adams where I can in the science courses I teach, mostly random quotes or a wonky question for #42 on tests.  I have often considered including the book in one of my classes as a cross-discipline activity.  

    The images highlight a fact about the novel or provide an image for a particular chapter of the book.  

    The lesson would be a nine-weeks project leading into the study of astronomy.  9 - 12    Science    English/Language Arts    Library    bestof

    Nice idea and very nice collection.

    Love this tie-in! 

    I read in the New York Times Science Section last week (11/23/2020) that researchers on artificial intelligence are seriously posing the possibility that advanced computers in the future will be able to come up with the elusive Theory of Everything to unify understanding of physics–but that humans might not be capable of understanding the answer. So maybe 42 will come up yet as the cosmic answer!
