Astronomical Phenomena   -   Videotapes for Educators and Producers

It is difficult to expose students to the wonder of astronomy and the night sky when their classes are limited to the daytime hours. These videotapes were assembled to bring the night sky and views through a telescope into the classroom. They were produced to help them feel the wonder of observing the sky.

Slides can not convey the sense of discovery experienced at a telescope as the atmospheric turbulence settles down to allow fine details to be seen. See celestial objects through a telescope as amateur astronomers view them.

Thousands of people contribute to the design, construction and testing of a satellite. Canada's Radarsat I is the most detailed video documentation of space hardware readily available to the public.
