Descripción
Two recent published guides help educators and the general public
journey to the universe. The writers and editors of StarDate and
astronomers from the University of Texas at Austin produced each of the
forty-page guides. "The Solar System" includes the sun, planets, and
minor bodies of the solar system. "Beyond the Solar System" includes
stars, extrasolar planets, galaxies, cosmology, and some tools of
astronomers. Both guides include activities for families and/or
teachers. In addition to the printed guides, the content and related
resources appear on-line at stardate.org. Spanish translations of the
content are being prepared for radiouniverso.org. The McDonald
Observatory Educator Advisory Board is performing evaluation of the
guides for use by K-12 teachers.Support from the National Aeronautics
and Space Administration under Education and Public Outreach supplements
