Week 1
Lesson 1
Intro to Slooh Telescopes
In our first class, we'll learn about the Slooh observatory telescopes and begin using them to capture Live View images of astronomical phenomena. 
Lesson 2
Space Explorer Quest
In this session, we'll learn how to schedule Missions (reserved time on specific telescopes) to capture specific astronomical phenomena of the students' choosing. We'll also work on our first Quest - Space Explorer. 
Lesson 3
Our Closest Star
In session 3, we will learn about our closest star, the sun. The layers of the sun will be explored and we'll use Slooh's special solar telescope to capture close-up images of the sun. 
Lesson 4
Phases of the Moon
In class 4, we will learn about Earth's satellite, our moon. We'll discuss theories of the moon's formation, and create a model of the phases of the moon using Oreo cookies. We'll also start a Quest capturing images of the moon. 
 Week 2
Lesson 5
How Far: Space Distances
In this session, we'll learn about the vast distances of space of how astrophysicists measure these distances using light-years. We'll work on a Quest capturing astronomical objects at various distances from Earth. 
Lesson 6
Solar Triplet
In class 6, we'll explore star classifications and search for stars that our similar to our sun. We'll capture images of these stars.
Lesson 7
Solar System Exploration
In this session, we'll investigate our solar system and capture images of planets in our solar system. We will capture images of planets in our solar system. 
Lesson 8
Discovering Pluto
In class 8, we'll learn about the discovery of Pluto and the debate about whether Pluto qualifies as a planet. We'll capture images of Pluto using the Slooh telescopes. 
 Week 3
Lesson 9
Milky Way Exploration
In class 9, we will learn all about our galaxy, the Milky Way. 
Lesson 10
Star Clusters
In this session, we'll explore the different classifications of star clusters and schedule Missions to capture images of these different types. 
Lesson 11
Nebulae
In session 11, we'll discuss the different types of nebulae and capture beautiful images of the various kinds. 
Lesson 12
Types of Galaxies
In our final class, we'll explore classifications of galaxies and capture images of different types of galaxies.
