Astronomy has been one of the classical “seven liberal arts” of education since the fifth century. A basic understanding of astronomy equips students to understand time-keeping, calendars, and navigation. The best way to study astronomy is by going outside and taking the time to look up. The goal of this Field Guide is to equip students to do just that. Through weekly assignments from September through May, students will learn about the motions of the sun, moon, stars, and planets.
