This
astronomy note introduces you to the wonders of modern astronomy.From the Solar
System to the most distant galaxies, we undertake an eye-opening journey, from
how stars work to the structure of the universe itself.

builds a picture of each stage in the life cycle of a star. An evening of star
viewing in the Blue Mountains is included.
