Download or read book Basic Astronomy Labs written by Jay S. Huebner and published by Prentice Hall. This book was released on 1996 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Providing the tools and know-how to apply the principles of astronomy first-hand, these 43 laboratory exercises each contain an introduction that clearly shows budding astronomers why the particular topic of that lab is of interest and relevant to astronomy. About one-third of the exercises are devoted solely to observation, and no mathematics is required beyond simple high school algebra and trigonometry.Organizes exercises into six major topics--sky, optics and spectroscopy, celestial mechanics, solar system, stellar properties, and exploration and other topics--providing clear outlines of what is involved in the exercise, its purpose, and what procedures and apparatus are to be used. Offers variations on standard and popular exercises, and includes many that are new and innovative, such as "The Messier List" which helps users discover basic facts about the Milky Way Galaxy by plotting these objects on a star chart; "Motions of Earth" demonstrates just how fast the Earth is moving through space and in which direction it is going, and; "Radioactivity and Time" which measures the half-life of a short-lived isotope, and consider radioactive dating and heating of celestial bodies. Includes a guide to astronomical pronunciations, a guide to the constellations, spectral classifications, quotes on science, and more.For astronomers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book contains a number of laboratory exercises in Astronomy along with appropriate data tables and charts. The manual leads students through various topics, like constellations, measures in Astronomy, coordinate systems, cosmic objects and their characteristics, elements of cosmology and others. It's designed for College and High School students as well as first years of University students, where Astronomy is discussed on the introductory and intermediate level. It can be also used by individuals who are interested in practical aspects of Astronomy. The manual is accompanied by the supplement in which methods of respective exercises' solution and solutions themselves, are presented.
Download or read book Introductory Astronomy Exercises written by Dale C. Ferguson and published by Cengage Learning. This book was released on 2001 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ferguson's flexible and useful INTRODUCTORY ASTRONOMY EXERCISES, Second Edition, provides professors and students with laboratory exercises that are well-tested, current, and flexible to individual course needs. These labs have a variety of origins and authors, and bring a broad range of activity to the introductory astronomy lab. Most require only inexpensive equipment. INTRODUCTORY ASTRONOMY EXERCISES, Second Edition, gives students practical experience with the things they only read about in their book, such as using a telescope and CCD photography. Ferguson groups the exercises together by whether they deal with the solar system or stars and other objects beyond the solar system. Three introductory exercises on using telescopes, viewing constellations and the Celestial Sphere, and using numbers in science set the stage and help readers overcome anxiety. A combination of indoor and outdoor labs allows for adjustments due to weather conditions. A chart that cross-references exercises in this manual to relevant chapters in Brooks/Cole astronomy books adds to the book's flexibility, and help the instructor reinforce selected topics.

This book was released on 1998-07-28 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This introductory astronomy LM contains observing and lab-oratory activities that are an essential part of an intro-ductory two-semester descriptive astronomy course. The primary aim of the LM is to give the student an appreciationof the night sky. Observing activities include a compre-hensive guide to the constellations, how to find the ecliptic and the determination of North, latitude, andlength of the year. Indoor activities include building atelescope, determining the composition of stars using spec-troscopes, building a scale model of the solar system, determining the age of the Universe, and the search forplanets around other stars.
