Was cleaning out my PM inbox and outbox----sometimes miss messages because the boxes overflow----and saw that back in August I sent someone a link to a good "history of astronomy" webpage which I then forgot about. Where to put good astro links?
So here is a thread for useful general astronomy links:
Ned Wright should be here, and Lineweaver, and the Wendy Freedman/Michael Turner survey, and Siobahn Morgan's astronomy course homework exercises, and something like an online textbook at U. Rochester where Jay Pasachoff is but there is a different name on the lecturenotes. In short the great online wellsprings of general astro info.
My contribution is Barbara Becker's history page, simply because I have it in hand and nowhere else to put it. She teaches at UC Irvine in the history department and this is a series of lecturenotes that make a kind of book called "Exploring the Cosmos".
