Program Overview

The motions of astronomical objects determine the day-night cycle, the seasons of the year, the tides, the timing of eclipses, and the visibility of comets and meteor showers. Astronomical events have also formed the basis for time keeping, navigation, and myths in cultures around the world for thousands of years. Much of astronomy is visual, providing detailed images of planets, galaxies and other deep-sky objects, and can be appreciated for its aesthetic appeal as well as scientific depth.
