Introduction
Astronomy is the study of the vast universe around us. We start on the earth and sweep outward past the moon to the solar system's planets and our sun, one of the billions of stars in our galaxy. We explore an exciting realm populated by black holes, quasars, red giants, white dwarfs, and more on our journey through the universe.
Astronomy is taught in a modern planetarium, which accurately simulates the nighttime sky, showing the stars and planets' positions and motions. The real sky can be viewed through the sixteen-inch reflector telescope in the N. A. Richardson Astronomical Observatory.
