Astro 25: Spring '20

As you know, our class has been ordered to be strictly 'on-line'. This page contains good YouTube material for you to learn about the San Andreas Fault, which is also involved in our Astro 27 class so there is some overlap here. Please enjoy these links and we can discuss them at our next on-line session.
