How Do Telescopes Work
The telescope is our most important tool in Astronomy and is used to observe faraway celestial objects and electromagnetic radiation.

Continue reading...Functions are a way to understand how one quantity grows or decreases compared to another quantity. Nonlinear functions, which we will discuss here, are functions that have different growth rates.
Continue reading...Learning Astronomy is a constant process. That is what makes it so interesting. In this article, Introduction to the solar system, I talk about why it is interesting and how many parts of it were formed.
Continue reading...Graphs are useful tools. We use them to show a lot of information visually. In this article, I want to show how functions are transformed in graphs.
Continue reading...Algebraic functions are some of the most important concepts in math. In this article I discuss the history and uses of functions.
Continue reading...In this article I wanted to talk about how and why celestial bodies move in our solar system.
Continue reading...This is going to be an article about how to get started in Astronomy. I know there are multiple ways, but this will be from my experience.
Continue reading...In this chapter I show you how to solve quadratics with factoring and how to find the corresponding intercepts.
Continue reading...This chapter I discuss quadratic equations and how they are useful to model nonlinear data.
Continue reading...Piecewise functions describe our every day life and are everywhere. In this chapter I will explain them and show some examples.
Continue reading...This chapter is about atomic theory and how we got there.
Continue reading...Galaxies are the foundations of the universe and we have identified millions
of them. In this chapter I want to mention and talk about the most defining
features.
When we look up at a night sky, what do we see? With just our eyes we probably
see a few thousand objects of varying intensity. They are mostly stars but there
are a few planets , comets, and meteors occasionally too. This is just our
galaxy. Our galaxy is a very small portion of the universe.
This next session is about Linear Inequalities. An inequality is similar to an equation. The difference is that it will not have an equal sign. It will be important to have a good understanding of inequalities because they pop up everywhere.
Continue reading...One of the goals in mathematics is solving equations. The most fundamental of these is linear equations. In this chapter, I discuss how to solve them.
Continue reading...Neutron stars have some of the most bizarre properties in the universe. A lot of massive stars will end up exploding and turning into these fascinating objects.
Continue reading...Measurements and dealing with their uncertainties are some first skills you learn in a lab. In this article, I will go over what you need to know when dealing with data.
Continue reading...A function is often used to model data that is important to us. It is useful in the sense that it can allow us to somewhat predict what will happen in the future mathematically.
Continue reading...Stars explode all the time. They do so for a few different reasons. The type of explosions and aftereffects depend on the characteristics of the original star. As you can imagine, there are multiple types of explosions. There are different types of explosions because there are so many different types of stars.
