I’ve been asked in the past to teach people about astronomy over the internet, and I do not have the time to do that. I do, however, have the time to upload all of my astronomy notes, various charts and graphs, and one particularly heart wrenching lecture about global warming via my very passionate astrophysics professor, and possibly in the future even lecture slides. All for free. To dropbox. Right here.

The content follows the book The Essential Cosmic Perspective by Bennett, but can be adapted for any intro level course 

The notes include:

1. Developing perspective
   
2. Key concepts for astronomy
   
3. Formation of the solar system, analysis of the planets as well as other small bodies
   
4. Stars, their formation, classification, and death
   
5. Galaxies, their formation, classification, dark matter, dark energy, and the fate of the universe
   
6. The Drake Equation
   

Other content:

1. Graphs
   
2. Charts
   
3. Helpful graphics
   
4. The Most Important Lecture
   
5. The Most Important Lecture Slides

I am also willing to update this as I find more things to add, possibly interesting articles, videos, etc. So if you find something interesting to share, send me a link!
