AN Â ASTRONOMY Â COURSE Â FOR Â STUDENTS Â USING Â THE Â INTERNET Save the Milky Way Could this puppy's name be Sun spot ? And why is she here in a page about astronomy? Hmmm, this sounds like a big CONUNDRUM! Be sure to click on the word "conundrum" before you continue, to find out how the definition applies to the present situation. Continue through my page, and perhaps you'll find other Spotty puppies. ASTRONOMY. Even the word conjures up wondrous images in your mind. Images of distant galaxies, maybe, or exploding stars, or comets, meteors, stars, constellations, telescopes, or maybe even your own memories of a night under a truly dark sky where the universe seemed to glow with "billions" of stars. Whatever image the word astronomy creates in your mind, the subject of astronomy has captured the interest and attention of virtually every human on the planet since humans were able to look up. What follows is a course on astronomy using the Internet. It is adaptable to most age and interest levels. Each of the units in the course are listed below in the Table of Contents, and each unit has its own separate "page." I hope you will enjoy using the course and will come back again and again as I make changes and additions to it. Because of the nature of the Internet, there is no guarantee that all the hyperlinks enclosed in my web pages will work all the time. Thanks for your patience. | |
