This book presents experiments which will teach physics relevant to astronomy. The astronomer, as instructor, frequently faces this need when his college or university has no astronomy department and any astronomy course is taught in the physics department. The physicist, as instructor, will find this intellectually appealing when faced with teaching an introductory astronomy course. From these experiments, the student will acquire important analytical tools, learn physics appropriate to astronomy, and experience instrument calibration and the direct gathering and analysis of data. Experiments that can be performed in one laboratory session as well as semester-long observation projects are included.
This textbook is aimed at undergraduate astronomy students.
Dr. Golden obtained a National Research Council grant and continued interferometric studies of Mercury at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory and as a consultant at the Aerospace Corporation before receiving his academic appointment at the University of Illinois at Chicago.
Writing and public speaking allow Dr. Golden to share his enthusiasm. In addition to numerous technical articles, he was the award winning editor-in-chief of the Cornell Engineer magazine, and won the senior division of the Nicolaus Copernicus 500th Anniversary science-writing competition, the Eric Hoffer-Lili Fabilli Essay Award, and an award in the Griffith Observatory Science Writing Contest.
In demand as an authoritative and entertaining public speaker and lecturer, Dr. Golden, among many
Dr. Golden is one of a handful of individuals who is a member of both Tau Beta Pi, the engineering honorary society, and Phi Beta Kappa, the arts and sciences honorary society. He was also elected to Pi Delta Epsilon, the honorary journalism society.

“This textbook is different from many others in the field. … It was written to help students of astronomy to understand physics concepts in practical lab work. … I fully recommend this book. … The book’s content is suitable for many undergraduate physics courses where the content has reference to astronomy. As such, I recommend the book as very good supplementary material.” (Michael Vollmer, Physics Education, July, 2013)
"...I fully recommend this book. I learned or rediscovered quite a bit of interesting astronomy and I particularly liked the short descriptions of the physics background for the chosen activities." -Michael Volmer, Physics Education July 2013
