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.

This site offers information about the interstellar medium. It discusses what the interstellar medium is, how it has developed, how astronomers know what they know, and interactions with the Solar System. There is both basic and more advanced material. There are also links to other websites with more information.

Please check your compositional percentages. They should be more like 75% hydrogen and 25% helium by mass -- not 90% and 10% as I read during a tour of astronomycenter.org.
