Potential new course offering.  Work in progress.

The idea of this course is to teach about observational astronomy rather than astrophysics.  For the physics of the stars and orbits see the astrophysics section of the IGCSE course.  For links to great simulations see the year 9 Gravity and Space section.

There are a few programs that are excellent planetariums for your computer or phone.  The best that I have used is Stellarium​.  It is best to download the full version and use on a computer.  The web based app is not as good.
