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 article from the Royal Astronomical Society's Journal of Astronomy and Geophysics, on Galaxy Evolution by astronomers R. Ellis, R. Abraham, J. Brinchmana and F. Menataau discusses the nature of galaxies and how HST data are providing answers to this and other questions on structure formation. Diagrams and pictures that help readers visualize and better understand galaxy formation.
