Back Yard Astronomy - Learn Observe Build - Huge - On Cd - K2ne Web Store on 2040-parts.com

From the very beginning, Man has been fascinated by what was seen in the sky. From the basic stuff - the behavior of the Sun in the daytime sky - to the advances over the centuries beginning with ancient Greece and Egypt, through the Renaissance and onward to the present day.

You absolutely will not need a degree in Quantum Physics, or very much math beyond trigonometry at the high school level in order to get full use and knowledge from the vast storehouse of material you will be receiving. A total of four complete books are augmented by the two best planetarium software packages currently available in the free-ware 'world.' Additionally you will find a section on the CD devoted to building your own telescope. Great stuff and all this for less than the cost of a decent lunch!!

If you are an Astronomy major, a high school student looking for "the killer science fair project," or a hobbiest wanting to enhance your knowledge this is the perfect item for you - and at an unbeatable price!

What You Will Need

1. A PDF File utility such as Acrobat Reader.
2. A DOC file reader - Microsoft Word, or Open Office work just fine.
3. A Graphics File reader for the small collection of GIF and JPG files.
4. Microsoft Windows 98SE or newer running on the computer on which you desire to use the two Planetarium utilities. And yes, they should run just fine on Windows 8/8.1 and most likely on Windows 10 when it is released.

Do not spend money for any of those three items since they're all available on the Internet for free download and free use.
