Astronomy Resources on the Web
The World Wide Web contains many resources for individuals
interested in Astronomy and Astronomical phenomena. I
have chosen but a few sites to link directly to. This is mainly
because I attempted to select the sites containing information
that
I considered useful or interesting. I will be
adding
more as
time allows me to locate those deemed more relevant than others,
or
as I receive requests to link to specific sites.

The intent of this site is to provide access to
functional Astronomical Sites having Resources for the purpose of
student
enrichment and exploration. The principles, theories, and
information provided at these sites and the content of particular
resource pages may
not reflect the specific content of a
specific
course, and are not intended to be substituted for lecture
content; nor can I guarantee that a particular link is active.

If there are other Astronomical Resource Sites you
think would be useful and you would like to see here, please
