Good Beginning Astronomy Sites

  • The Constellations and their stars - A good introduction to the constellations.
  • About buying a telescope - From the publishers of Sky & Telescope. Before you buy, check this out.
  • Astronomy Basics - Check this out. It talks about what to do now that you have an interest in astronomy.
  • Lake Stargazers - This site is dedicated to naked eye astronomy. There are no meetings or dues. This website was designed to help beginners learn how to identify constellations, planets and know when to look for meteor showers.
  • Astronomy For Kids - The kids will really enjoy this site, Check out the "Fun with Astronomy" for online games and take a look at "The Sky Tonight". Ths kids could spend a lot of time here, but it's a good experience.
