What Introduction to Astronomy makes

Topics astronomy, space, education, science, astrophysics

This set of lectures are designed to accompany the OpenStax Astronomy textbook. There are 2-5 lectures for each of the 30 chapters in the textbook. I have broken them down into about 15 minute increments so that the instructor can choose which videos are most appropriate for the level of the class they are teaching. The OpenStax Astronomy textbook can be accessed for free here: https://openstax.org/details/books/astronomy/ I also provide a daily podcast of NASA's Astronomy Picture of the Day through a separate YouTube channel. These are provided daily and are a great additional resource for additional topics and current findings in astronomy that have not yet made it to the textbook. You can access that channel here: https://youtube.com/channel/UCWksELVw1LfYg6TiLQyjByw
