Space Telescope Science Institute Symposium
No full textThis timely volume reviews recent progress in our understanding of all aspects of stellar structure and evolution, with special emphasis on currently unsolved problems. It covers every stage in the life of a star, from birth to death, as well as the fundamental processes that affect stellar evolution. Each chapter is written by a leading world expert, based on presentations at an international conference held at the Space Telescope Science Institute. A complete understanding of stellar evolution is important in its own right, constituting a vital piece in the more general puzzle of understanding how galaxies form and evolve. This volume presents the most comprehensive and up-to-date survey available of this crucial topic in astrophysics
From Galileo to Hubble
No full textThis tutorial from the Space Telescope Science Institute covers the development of telescopes from Galileo to the Hubble Space Telescope, using images, animations, and text. Students must answer questions as they progress through the lesson. Telescopes covered include the Hooker, Hale, and Keck. Educational levels: Intermediate elementary, Middle school
Massive stars from Pop III and GRBs to the Milky Way : proceedings of the Space Telescope Science Institute Symposium, held in Baltimore, Maryland May 8-11, 2006
No full textAmazing Space Teaching Tools
No full textThis collection of teaching tools, authored by the Space Telescope Science Institute (U.S.) includes lithographs, fast facts, graphic organizers, question and answer sessions, and online explorations on an array of different general subjects, such as gravity, galaxies, solar system and others. The page features two distinct sections, one for everyone and another specifically for educators and curriculum developers. This is a wonderful resource for instructors looking to either enhance or create new curriculum for either a physics, astronomy or space science class

No full textAmazing Space
No full textThis website is part of the Space Telescope Science Institute, and contains a set of interactive, web-based activities and lessons designed for classroom use. Topics include the Hubble Space Telescope, galaxies, comets, black holes, light, and the solar system. Educational levels: High school, Intermediate elementary, Middle school
Digitized Sky Survey
No full textThe Space Telescope Science Institute (United States) has created this set of all-sky photograph surveys from the ground based telescopes Palomar and UK Schmidt in several colors. Images from any portion of the sky can be acquired either in FITS or GIF format. They can be retrieved by their position or target name. All images on the site are provided free of charge, also links to related external sites are provided. This is a fun and interesting resource for those interested in the more visual aspects of astronomic research
Down to Earth Astronomy
No full textCreated by the Space Telescope Science Institute, this website provides access to fun and engaging learning activities about astronomy, all of which live up to the website's name. The Institute also happens to oversee the grant administration, planning, scheduling, and public outreach activities for the Hubble Space Telescope, so it makes sense that they would have some rather nice materials. While the site has a number of useful areas, perhaps the strongest element of the site is the "Amazing Space" section. Here, visitors can learn about the inner workings of telescopes, read their in-house publication "The Star Witness", and take in sights of black holes, comets, galaxies, and gravity at work. Educators should not overlook the "Teaching Tools" area of the site, as they will want to look through their classroom activities, graphic organizers, and reading guides
