Astronomische Phänomene: Beobachtung, Interpretation, Messung
by Udo BackhausDieses Buch behandelt astronomische Phänomene und Beobachtungsmöglichkeiten für astronomisch interessierte Laien, Lehrkräfte und Schülerinnen und Schüler: Ist die Erde wirklich eine Kugel? Zu welchen Gedanken kann die Beobachtung eines Sonnenunterganges oder einer Mondfinsternis anregen? Wie bewegen sich die Sonne und die Planeten über den Himmel, und welche Schlüsse lassen sich daraus ziehen? Der Autor skizziert auch Messungen und Beobachtungen, die man alleine oder in einer Gruppe durchführen kann beispielsweise die Bestimmung des Erdradius‘ oder die Entfernung zum Mond. Einige der Projekte können an einem oder mehreren Tagen oder Nächten durchgeführt werden, andere erstrecken sich über einen längeren Zeitraum. Auch internationale Projekte, bei denen Schulen, Amateurastronomen und Profis kooperieren, werden beschrieben. Mit einer Fülle an astronomischen Phänomenen und Beobachtungsmöglichkeiten richtet sich das Buch sowohl an Studierende und Lehrkräfte der Astronomie und Physik als auch an Hobbyastronominnen und -astronomen, die mehr über astronomische Phänomene erfahren und die zugrundeliegenden Erklärungen verstehen wollen. Der Autor motiviert zu Versuchen, „eigene“ Messwerte zu erhalten und auszuwerten, und zeigt am Beispiel der Astronomie, wie Wissenschaft funktioniert.

Astronomy
by Anita YasudaHead outside and look up. What do you see? At night you might see stars, the moon, the Milky Way, and planets! During the day all these things will still be there, but they’ll be hidden by the bright light of the sun. Astronomy is the study of celestial objects and what’s beyond the nebulous boundaries of space. In Astronomy: Cool Women in Space, young readers will be inspired by stories of women who have made great strides in a field that takes courage, persistence, and creativity to pursue. Most people have heard of Carl Sagan and Stephen Hawking, but have you heard of Maria Mitchell or Caroline Herschel? For many decades, female astronomers have been defining the field by making discoveries that changed the human relationship with space. Astronomy: Cool Women in Space will introduce young readers to three women who are bringing the science of astronomy forward and inspiring the next generation of astronomers. The primary sources, essentials questions, and knowledge connections within Astronomy: Cool Women in Space encourage both boys and girls to explore our celestial world while being inspired to ask what role they might play in the next discovery.

Astronomy Activity and Laboratory Manual
by Alan W. HirshfeldWelcome to the Universe! Take your students on an exciting journey through the universe with Dr. Hirshfeld’s Astronomy Activity and Laboratory Manual! Through a series of twenty in-class, modestly mathematical, paper-and-pencil activities, students review the epic advancement of astronomical thought, from the rudimentary observations of prehistoric skywatchers to the development of modern astrophysics in the 20th century. In following the groundbreaking work of some of history's most famous astronomers, students better appreciate the fruits of modern research. <p><p>Astronomy Activity and Laboratory Manual, Second Edition supplies what is missing from the standard introductory college astronomy course; the essential story line that tells how astronomers came to know as much as they do about the universe. The activities require no specialized instructor training, equipment or individual materials beyond a pencil, straightedge, and standard calculator. They are designed for use in a classroom of any size and are an easy way to introduce active-learning into the teaching of astronomy. <p><p>The activities are also ideal for individual homework assignments or team study. The necessary mathematical background ― basic elements of high-school algebra, geometry, and trigonometry ― is introduced on an as-needed basis for each activity and is summarized in the Appendix. This learn-by-doing approach will engage and excite your introductory astronomy students!
Astronomy Adventures and Vacations: How to Get the Most Out of Astronomy in Your Leisure Time (The Patrick Moore Practical Astronomy Series)
by Timothy TreadwellThis astronomy travel guide exposes the many wonderful opportunities for experiencing the observing hobby farther afield. Amateur astronomy is often consigned to observing from home or from a local park, yet it can be much more. Treadwell explores all the possibilities of astronomical and space-related activities that are available on day trips and longer vacations. These activities range from observatory visits and other simple ways to build an astronomy event into a holiday, to full blown specialized astronomy travel. There are a wide variety of activities offered for all budgets, often at popular holiday destinations. Many trips give the opportunity to visit the world's famous attractions. On most vacations it can be a matter of just taking a day (or night) out of your schedule to fit in an astronomy event, but larger, dedicated pilgrimages are also possible. How to make the most of astronomy potential on a holiday, whether observing on the beach in Hawaii with the Telescope Guy or visiting the summit of Mauna Kea, is covered in detail. There are a wide variety of activities for all budgets, covering many popular travel destinations. The Star Party scene is also explored, with practical advice on how to get the most out of these events and the National Parks and Dark Sky Parks events. Additionally, there are now numerous opportunities with various conventions and specialist events to meet an astronaut. Information is also given about the numerous ways of enjoying the Northern Lights, including aurora flights and one-off events such as eclipses and desert skies. For the more adventurous, there are visits to Star City in Russia for cosmonaut training or even witnessing a launch or landing at the Baikonur Centre in Kazakhstan. Amateur astronomers of all levels will find the right match for their travel and star gazing bug in these pages.
