The planetarium works closely with a local Astronomy club called the Auburn Astronomical Society (AAS). AAS is a tremendous organization of amateur astronomers who share one thing in common...their love of astronomy. Click on the graphic above to go directly to the AAS Web site.
This
is an excellent site for children (and Moms and Dads who are doing their
children's homework...you know who you are). There is an "ASK THE
EXPERT" site to answer questions you can't seem to find anywhere
else. A "TEACHERS CORNER" is a wonderful aid for those who may
be home schooling. This is a FIVE STAR site. There are wonderful
facts about the Solar System and the Universe complete with fabulous images, as
well as an Astronomy dictionary to help you with those unpronounceable astronomy
terms.
