Succeed in Understanding Astronomy

Astronomy is a branch of Physical Science that is concerned with the study of objects and effects in space or regions beyond the Earth's atmosphere. The knowledge of Astronomy is important for an understanding of the Universe and even how the Earth was formed.

There is a great need for people who understand scientific principles and know how to think logically. Your knowledge and skills in these areas can help you excel in school, advance your career or improve your business.

The purpose of these free online lessons is to give you a start at improving your knowledge of Astronomy and help you become a champion in the field. If you have any questions, send us an email.

Note: We now have many lessons in audio, so you can read along the spoken word.

Special thanks to Diego Mastrangelo, who has an engineering background from the University of Buenos Aires in Argentina, for helping to edit many of the Astronomy lessons.

School for Champions

Champion a worthy cause

There are many problems in this world that need people to help in solving them.

If you see an injustice or someone in need and feel strongly about the situation, you can champion it as a cause and work to solve the problem.

Help out

Some can simply give donations to a charity, while others can get involved and participate in the solution.

When you champion a cause, you are making a difference. That is an important purpose of the
School for Champions.

Some causes that need champions include:

Haiti earthquake: How to help - A list of agencies in the Washington Post

Chile Earthquake - How to help and other volunteer opportunities

Doctors without Borders, providing aid to people whose survival is threatened by disasters or violence
