Astronomy Links and Pre-Visit Materials

The following resources are provided for educators, but anyone might find them useful.

  • The astronomy links will take you to a Moon phase calculator, the NASA home page, and a schedule for meteor showers.
  • The pre-visit materials are provided for most of our group programs. Please note that these are PDF files that can be printed and used with students to prepare for a Planetarium show.
