Interactive Simulations & Movies
POSTED!!
Binary Stars - Gravitional Attraction - Kepler's Three Laws - The Doppler Effect and more... one of the nicer points of on line education is the ability to visualize what is being taught. With that in mind this link category has many fine astronomy & science lab simulations and movies. Note: some of the movies can be quite large and may take a few minutes to appear in your player.
Hands on Education
Meaning to Do
More confortable learning on your own? Wish to see if astronomy or physics in general is right for you? No problem, as there is a plethora of sites, from private individuals to universities who offer, for absolutely FREE, complete course in various astronomical pursuits.

This Month's offering was a hard choice as I had three categories under this topic to cover. I chose sketching as I knew very little about the subject however, the featured website's author certainly does

I wish to acknowledge and express my gratitude to Demezla Ramakers for granting permission to use her images. I also wish to express many personal thank you's for her wonderful correspondence and assistance in making this month's featured site possible --
The below links are to private, educational and science institution sites that offer all kinds of images for viewing, research and download. Some allow the image to be use in a "non-commercial" form ( i.e., your science, educational or personal website ) or in your scientific research or school/college essay. Some are " public domain" or "free usage", especially those that are funded by governmental grants ( NASA, NOAO, NSF etc. ) and others are copyrighted material that requires investigation into the terms of their use; APOD ( Astronomy Picture of the Day website ) uses private contributions as well as those great Hubble shots. One common usage entity is the Creative Commons 3 Attribution share-alike which is seen frequently throughout the Wikipedia websites. The bottom line is if you're not sure, email and investigate as the images represent the hard work of individuals the world over. What that said...
