 		[SLA][Classes]Astronomy - Prof Singh
New on the Astronomy forum

Quote:
This class is named "Astronomy" but should have been called Observational Astronomy. We will be spending less time on calculations in this class and more time outside. The goal of this course is to give you the tools to observe the celestial sphere, become familiar with celestial phenomena, record your observations, and draw conclusions based on what you observe. Next year, we hope to add a more in-depth online astronomy course that will include the use of both calculus and physics. I caution you not to make the assumption that this course is an "easy grade", as you students like to say; a practical and successful observer must be both meticulous and consistent, and you will be graded accordingly.

Your Week 1 materials and assignments will be posted in just a moment, and I will post a syllabus in short order as well.

For those of you who live in urban areas and are unable to take regular trips away from the city's light, please make an effort to complete the assignments to the best of your abilities, and discuss any difficulties with me.


For those of you who don't know Google Earth can be switched into Sky mode, which is totally awesome and might help along the way. Just go to View>Switch to Sky.

Google Earth can be downloaded at http://earth.google.com/

 		Stellarium
A cool free program to view the night sky. You can choose your location and toggle constellation lines/names, etc.
I may end up using this some nights since I've got lots of lights around and have a pretty small area of sky that's clearly visible through all the trees.
