Website Detail Page

written by the HiRes at UU

This website provides an interactive tutorial on the evolution of stars. It integrates activities, graphs, quizzes, and animations to aid student learning. It begins with proto-stars, then provides information about main-sequence stars, hydrostatic equilibrium, helium burning, and the H-R diagram.

Hello Gareth,

This is a browser setting and is not something that can be handled by Astronomy Center.

Here is an article that goes over how to enable this for Firefox:  http://reviews.cnet.com/4520-10165_7-6212515-1.html

And here is how to have new windows default to tabs in IE7:

      1. Click Tools
      2. Click Internet Options
      3. Click Settings
      4. Select Always open pop-ups in new tab
      5. Click OK until you are back in your browser
