The sky, though it looks static, is in constant motion along multiple circular paths. It's as though we live on a cosmic, tilted Tea Cup Ride. In this course we will explore many of these sky motions: the day (and night), the month, the year, precession of the Equinoxes and changes in Earth's orbit.
Aileen O'Donoghue has been in love with the sky all her life, teaching astronomy (and physics) at SLU for over 35 years, plus appearing monthly on North Country Public Radio to discuss the sky, and serving on the board of trustees of the Adirondack Sky Center and Observatory
