CyberSky (TM) is a colorful, easy-to-use program that transforms your computer screen into a planetarium, allowing you to learn about astronomy by exploring the sky in the past, present, and future.
CyberSky can truly be thought of as a desktop planetarium, because it duplicates the features of a traditional planetarium on your computer screen. CyberSky provides a superb, innovative, and motivating learning environment. It places the sky under your control.
One of CyberSky's most powerful and educational features is its ability to animate the display, allowing you to see movies of the changing appearance of the sky over time.
Many of the most basic and interesting astronomical phenomena can only be observed over days or months of time, or by observing the sky in the distant past or future. CyberSky compresses these time spans into minutes, thereby allowing you to learn things about astronomy that previously would have required days or weeks of stargazing or a trip to a planetarium to learn.
If you have an interest in learning about astronomy, CyberSky will provide hours of fun and education for you and your family.
The projects undertaken by AMSEE are described in the server, which includes the finest images made with the observatory facilities.
The purpose of these WorldWide Web pages is to provide direct access to some of my notes, to a number of the on-line resources used in preparing the lectures, and to further material. They are not a substitute for the lectures (at least, not yet)!
The RAAP is an educational outreach program that promotes interest in science through providing astronomy educational resources. These include a series of digital image processing exercises to teach a variety of physical concepts as well as access to our computer controlled telescope allowing motivated students design and carry out their own experiments.
