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.

Variable Star Astronomy, formerly published as Hands-On Astrophysics, was developed for anyone interested in astronomy and in learning more about the behaviors and properties of stars. It contains a flexible set of hands-on educational materials, activities, and investigations based on the AAVSO's unique electronic database of variable star measurements. Students will be able to experience the excitement of doing real science with real data--making new measurements and new discoveries. By carrying out all aspects of the research process, they can develop and integrate skills in science, math, computing, and other areas.
