Of Earth and Sky: An Introduction to Astronomy
ID :
2039
« back to classes page
The sky, and our astronomical neighbors, present a natural resource that unfortunately is becoming harder to enjoy, due to increases in light pollution, but can still play a part in a person's life. Join us as we introduce the history of astronomy, the planets, other celestial bodies, and the importance of the sky in time telling, plus Rhode Island's major contribution in this aspect of astronomy.
