- Synopsis
- Astronomy is an observational science. The opportunity to make meaningful observations of the real sky is very important in the study of astronomy. Unfortunately, many students of introductory astronomy are denied this opportunity because of light pollution or the lack of adequate equipment or resources. The projects described in this book provide an effective substitute for this observing experience by allowing these students to make significant and accurate observations of the virtual sky using the Starry NightTM program. It is hoped that these projects will also enhance the experience of students blessed with the resources to make real ground-based observations.
