Life and Times of Galileo
Special History and Astronomy Class
Galileo was perhaps the first modern scientist. His motto: show me! In this special combo of astronomy and history you will learn to recreate Galileo's best experiments. By dropping things, rolling things, and swinging things you will rewrite the books of physics. Then you will marvel at the heavens and see what he saw through the very first telescopes including the Sun, Moon, and planets.

It's About Time
An Online Class to Put on Your Calendar
Where did the day, week, month and year come from? Why do we have 60 minutes in an hour and 24 hours in a day? It's astronomical (and maybe a little astrological). Astronomer Dean Regas goes back in time to when our ancestors tried to measure time and how their efforts shaped our lives thousands of years later.
