Welcome to the Department of Astronomy!

Astronomy is the science of celestial objects and phenomena that originate outside the Earth's atmosphere, such as stars, planets, comets, aurorae, galaxies, and the cosmic background radiation. It is concerned with the formation and development of the universe, the evolution and physical and chemical properties of celestial objects and the calculation of their motions.


TODO

  • Cleanup all astronomy related pages and organize
  • Create an introduction for new visitors
  • Link to information about supernova/asteroid online searches
  • Link to data sources
  • Link to amateur astronomers societies (and get amateur astronomers to this page)
  • Load in the astrophysics source code library


Active participants

The histories of Wikiversity pages indicate who the active participants are. If you are an active participant in this school, you can list your name here (this can help small schools grow and the participants communicate better; for large schools it is not needed).

School news

  • August 17, 2006 - School founded!

Lessons

Get to work writing lessons! Simply make a link to the name of the lesson (lessons are independent pages) and start writing!

Research projects

This feature of Wikiversity will be implemented later pending further discussion.

Proposed Learning project: Astronomy Project - students access public astronomy databases and explore outer space.

Astrophysics Source Code Library = ASCL

BoomCode - GPL Type II supernova collapse code

http://www.aavso.org/ - American Association of Variable Star Observers
