These lecture videos are designed to complement the content in the OpenStax Astronomy 2e textbook. The book can be downloaded free of charge at: https://openstax.org/details/books/astronomy-2e

I can be reached with comments at wagnerastronomy@gmail.com. However, classes I am teaching receive priority so I will try to respond as I can to questions.

Note: Lesson 0 materials are specific for the classes that I teach. Lesson 1 will start with Chapter 1 of the textbook.
