SUMMARY:

Education in Brazil is undergoing a process of transformation. In Physics education, students often show disinterest in traditional types of lessons, making it challenging for teachers to engage them and achieve meaningful learning outcomes. Therefore, this work addresses the efficiency that astronomical images from space telescopes can provide in overcoming these challenges and making learning more meaningful. The use of astronomical images, organized within the pedagogical structure of an "Astronomical Image Atlas," can stimulate students' interest and, consequently, facilitate the understanding of Physics concepts. The primary objective is to investigate the efficiency of the Astronomical Image Atlas as a teaching tool, connecting astronomical phenomena to Physics content in high school education. To this end, the Atlas is aligned with the competencies and skills outlined in the BNCC (Brazilian National Common Core Curriculum) within the area of Natural Sciences, aiming to promote the analysis of cosmic phenomena, the use of scientific models, and problem-solving involving the relevant content. Additionally, by integrating Astronomy and Physics, the material can foster investigative and interdisciplinary skills as specified in the national curriculum. The Atlas structure was developed based on the Three Pedagogical Moments framework by Delizoicov, Angotti, and Marta Pernambuco (2002). Each chapter begins with problematization (1st moment), systematizes the Physics concepts related to the astronomical image (2nd moment), and proposes practical activities that apply the acquired knowledge in real-world contexts (3rd moment). The research results indicated that the use of the Atlas significantly increased student interest and engagement, facilitating the comprehension of complex concepts and promoting meaningful learning. Most students and teachers reported that the astronomical images helped contextualize Physics content, making the lessons more dynamic and engaging. It is concluded that the Atlas can be an innovative tool for teaching Physics, offering a meaningful, contextualized, and curriculum-aligned approach.
