Comprehensive and authoritative, 21st Century Astronomy fosters scientific literacy by offering carefully crafted activities that help students apply the process of science to astronomy, the news, and the world. The 21st Century learning package provides the most up-to-date astronomy research, engaging students as they prepare for lecture, perform in-class activities, and complete meaningful homework assignments—both in person and online.
