The Astronomy Center has provided educational resources to introductory astronomy educators since 2003. Over the past 20 years, the rapid pace of discovery has rendered some of our linked resources obsolete. Thus, the Astronomy Center will be decommissioned on March 1, 2022. Our highest quality resources will be retained on ComPADRE.org.

The "Ask an Astrophysicist" service is run by volunteers who work on space-based astronomical observations, including cosmic-ray, gamma-ray, and X-ray astrophysics. Their research subjects include black holes, dark matter, and the origin of the universe. Their archive of past questions and answers is a handy resource for those seeking answers to common astrophysics questions.
