Celestia for teaching Astronomy

Post #1by ANDREA » 04.03.2003, 23:21

Celestia friends, I've just opened a new page in my Astronomy Association WEB site, whose I'm the web master, reserved for Celestia's add-ons to be used for teaching, or showing astronomy to the public.
It's just a start point, with one request to Chris and a little solarsys.ssc file available for downloading.
Give a look and tell me if this may be intesting.
The available space I have is very small, about 5 Mb only, but text files aren't so big, so may be enough.

Hey, here is a new:
IAU Circular 8087 reports the discovery of seven new Jupiter satellites, discovered at Mauna Kea using the 8.3-m Subaru telescope, the 3.6-m Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope, and the 2.2-m UH telescope. Five of the new satellites are in retrograde orbits.

Nice work. It's good to see someone else in education using Celestia.

We are into education too. In the last three months we have been working on an interactive Encyclopedia of our Solar System.
What am I doing? Ah, nothing much. Just laying on my bed, watching the stars, and sky, and keep asking myself: 'Where the Hell is my Roof?'.
