Discusses areas of modern astronomy that owe their development largely to nonoptical radiation: radio, infrared, ultraviolet, and x-ray radiation. Indicates new observations favor the big-bang" model of the universe, for it is now established that the earth is expanding at a measurable rate. Annotated bibliography. (LS)

Annotates two books dealing with astronomy and one each dealing with automation, genetic engineering, space, and water. (AEA)

Provides examples of astronomical subjects and phenomena in poetry. Includes a list (author/title) of modern poems incorporating astronomical imagery. (JN)

Activities are provided for calculating speeds of celestial bodies. These focus on how fast earth rotates on its axis, how fast planets travel around the sun, and how fast the solar system is traveling with the Milky Way. (JN)

Reviews five books that deal with astronomy, space travel, computers, and robots. (AEA)

Includes the full text on a resolution concerning creationism passed by the Board of Directors of the Astronomical Society of the Pacific. (Author/JN)

Annotates seven books dealing with the following topics: astronomy, environment, geology, and physics. (AEA)

Describes an easy-to-use set of computer programs for the generation of multiple-choice and essay examinations in an introductory astronomy course.

Ten ideas for elementary education science activities are presented. Scientific topics included are: archeology, astronomy, biology, anatomy, nutrition, earth science, and inventions. (CJ)

As interplanetary travel by robot vehicles launched from earth becomes more sophisticated, the solar system neighborhood will be constantly rediscovered. This will lead to the maturation of the science of comparative planetology. This discipline, involved in study of the origin, evolution, and nature of planets, promises significant future…
