The scientific legacy of many talented individuals created the tapestry we recognize today - a description of the heavens told through moments of eureka, serendipity and monotonous trawling of observational data.   Conveying the facts and spirit of this fascinating story as a course of learning is difficult.

The AstronomyWA committee presents this resource and hopes it will further stimulate the learning of astronomy in your school and all schools throughout Western Australia.
