Do you need an astronomy tool that does more than just show you pictures?
Something that will actually help you with your school work? The Wolfram
Astronomy Course Assistant provides a suite of useful tools for helping you in
your introductory computational astronomy course. From fact checking to
formulas, this app provides a convenient resource to help you complete your
homework and study for tests. Answers are computed on the fly using input
values you specify.
- Get an overview of constellations, including the effects of proper motion
- Learn the celestial reference points and their location in your sky
- Explore solar system objects, properties, and dynamics
- Study Moon phases, eclipses, and tides
- Examine properties of over 100,000 stars, including distance, parallax,
luminosity, and position on the Hertzsprung–Russell diagram
- Learn about the seasons and when meteor showers occur
- Access formulas such as Newton's and Kepler's laws, escape velocity,
moments of inertia, angular momentum, and Einstein's famous E=mc^2
- Convert between wavelength and frequency, or find the energy of a photon
- Understand the cosmological effects of universal expansion on light and the
gravitational effects of black holes
- Determine the probability of intelligent life on other worlds
