To help you study and learn beyond your notes and perhaps recordings of our micro-lectures, I've put together this list of online versions of my Presentations. They're an excellent source. Astro 25 and Astro 27 are sort of Astro 3,4,5,7 highlights all crammed into one weekend course. A sampler, a potpouri of astro chowder, as it were!
I want you to review these fine images from our very own "Captain Kirk" Bender, long time Cabrillo astronomy voluteer, former student, and my right-hand man for asteroid astronomy too. We can talk about what you saw in terms of planetary processes when I meet you at camp on Friday night Apr 1. There's well over 100 images here. Take your time!
