1-5-11

Today's agenda:
Reviewed contributions to astronomy of:
Kepler
Gailileo
Copernicus
Ptolemy

Video: Extreme Planets - formation of planets and solar system, characteristics and theories for why planets are different, and how we know what we do know. Good review of topics covered before break, with excellent visual aids - both real and animated.
Tonight's HMWK: Read p. 238-241; p. 241#1-7
Also, review notes from before break - we will have an exam on Astronomy next Wednesday.
Tomorrow we will finish the video, then continue learning about distances in space and do some math involving light speed.
Homework for Friday: p.246#1-20, (skip 2,3,6), 23,26,27,29-34. The answer to #31 is 1/4 of the way through its orbit. (use this to help you with #33).
