Welcome to the Department of Astronomy!

This is a relatively new Department at Wikiversity, and its growth depends on the participation of everyone who seeks to learn about astronomy. The basic philosophy of Wikiversity is to learn by doing. This is reflected in the content of lessons and activities. However, "learning by doing" means more than just reading a lesson and following the directions; hopefully you will participate in the process of creating lessons and sharing your experiences.

To get started try the lesson on Stellar evolution or the activity on Observational astronomy.

For a glimpse of some of the topics that we hope to cover in the future see the Topic:Astronomy/Courses.

If you have any questions about astronomy or requests for topics that you would like to learn, post them to the astronomy help desk.

Improvement drive

These pages are in need of expansion and improvement:

<DynamicPageList> category = Astronomy category = Stub pages order = ascending ordermethod = lastedit count = 20 </DynamicPageList>

Divisions

The majestic spiral galaxy NGC 4414 was imaged by the Hubble Space Telescope as part of the HST Key Project on the Extragalactic Distance Scale
  • Astrobiology - The study of the advent and evolution of biological systems in the universe.
  • Astrometry - The study of the position of objects in the sky and their changes of position. Defines the system of coordinates used and the kinematics of objects in our galaxy.

Courses

Where are the courses?
Waiting for you to create one. Wikademia is a developing project, and depends on its contributors (anyone can contribute) for its content. Whether you call it a "course" or a "learning project", you can organize it here. Courses/Learning projects can be organised from a new "Topic" page, or directly in the Main namespace (ie without any prefix). We encourage you to take the initiative and add your materials here!
Follow these links to learn how: Intro to Learning Projects • The Main Learning Projects Page • Credentials, diplomas & provenance • Policies • Learning • Education

All proposed courses can be found at Topic:Astronomy/Courses

School news

  • August 17, 2006 - School founded!

Things to do

Here are some things you can do at this department...

  • Cleanup all astronomy related pages and organize them
  • 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
  • Create links at Wikipedia to related pages here

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).

Are you interested in Astronomy? Would you like to create instruction material and help out with people studying this topic? Then be bold and start doing so! Play around; others will try not to bite. Sign up to be a participant by adding your username to this list, or just start editing Wikiversity anyway.
