Galaxies, stars, nebulae, planets, moons. Astronomy is the study of these things, how they are made and how they move. This site is dedicated to enabling students to have a grasp of the basics of astronomy so that they can begin observing and studying stars and other objects in the great expanse of space with greater understanding. It includes a section on the basic terms used in astronomy, a section on the history of man's exploration of space, and a feedback section.

Frames

This site can be viewed with or without frames. If you are using frames, you will see a blue navigation bar on the left screen. This nav bar contains a link to every page on this site. A bold link indicates a link to a page, a non-bold link indicates a link to a bookmark within a page. Bookmark links are always one level lower than the page they point to.

If you are using frames and have Netscape Navigator 3+ or Microsoft Internet Explorer 4+ with JavaScript support turned on, you will be able to see a small red arrow next to “Welcome” on the left navigation bar. This arrow will always point to the current page and will always point to a bold link, never a bookmark link. If you do not have a JavaScript capable browser, you will only see the links.

If you do not want to use frames, you can use the non-frames home page and sitemap. The last link on every page will get you back to the non-frames home page. This page includes one of these links below.
