special units, speed of light, and look-back time, basic observations in the
sky, angular diameter, celestial timekeeping, constellations, Coordinate
systems (terrestrial, celestial equatorial, and horizon), celestial sphere,

elongation, and special planetary configurations. Special emphasis is placed
on Kepler's Laws, EM spectrum, electron energy levels, Wien's Law,
Stefan-Boltzmann Law, the Doppler shift, and inverse square law, ... |

grouped by topic |
Astronomy movies
A movie which shows the celstial sphere, A simple movie that shows the
celestial sphere rotating about an observer in the Northern Hemisphere, The
Earth orbits the Sun within the celestial sphere, showing the Sun's position
on the celestial sphere at various times during the year, The motion of the
Sun around the ecliptic over the course of a year, The Sun's Declination.
Shows how the tilt of the Earth's axis means that the Sun is sometimes above
the equator, and sometimes below the equator. The phases of the Moon over a
month, looking "down" on the Earth/Moon system, and zooming in to show how
it would look to somebody on the Earth |
