| Sumario: | Taking into account the realism-antirealism debate in philosophy of science and considering a particular astronomical case study, this paper will present how epistemology and history of science allow an accessible approach to topics of interest concerning the teaching of such scientific discipline. Precisely, through historical exploration of gravitational lenses in the universe, reflections on observational and experimental practices make it easier to understand complex astrophysical phenomena, when they are taught. This way, not only the teaching-learning process within different levels of education, but also diffusion of astronomy in general, are improved with the contribution that this type of interdisciplinary work may offer. |
