ASTRONOMY II PROJECTS

The following table gives you your group and the relevant project. I encourage you to surf through the net and find additional sites of your interest. One of the best search engines that allows you to search the web in an extensive way is Google.

Of course, your textbook is a first, good source for you to get acquainted with the material. Your report should be between 15 and 20 pages long and neatly typeset and stapled. Feel free to add any colorful photographs that you may download from the web. You MUST add all references, including all the websites that you have used. On the cover page, make sure that you write the title of your project, date of submission, number of your group, and the names of your group members.

Definitions: M = Monday Lab; T = Tuesday Lab; R = Thursday Lab; F = Friday Lab.

Example: Xi is the ith group of X day lab session.
