The PlanetsPlanets within our Solar System.Celestial bodies such as the Earth which orbit the Sun (and by extension, similar orbiters around distant stars). Counting from the Sun outwards, planets visible to the eye are Mercury, Venus, (Earth), Mars, Jupiter and Saturn. |

CometsComet images by Hampshire Astronomical GroupErratic members of the Solar system, usually of small mass. Luminous bodies, wandering through space, or circulating around the Sun, and visible only when they approach the Sun. They usually consist of three elements: nucleus, envelope, and tail. |

ConstellationsImages of many constellations, some more familiar than others.From the dawn of time, people observed the sky and grouped stars into patterns or constellations. |

NebulaeNebula pictures by Hampshire Astronomical GroupA cloud of glowing gas in space. The gas is either bright because a close star's light is reflecting off it or the powerful emissions from a star are making the nebula glow. Try looking at the Orion Nebula. It's amazing. |

The MoonImages of The Moon by our members.The Moon is Earth's only natural satellite. It has no formal English name other than "the Moon", although it is occasionally called Luna (Latin for "moon") to distinguish it from the generic "moon" (referring to any of the various natural satellites of other planets). |

SpectroscopyThe study of astronomy using the techniques of spectroscopy to measure the spectrum of electromagnetic radiation.Astronomical spectroscopy is the study of astronomy using the techniques of spectroscopy to measure the spectrum of electromagnetic radiation, including visible light, which radiates from stars and other hot celestial objects. Spectroscopy can be used to derive many properties of distant stars and galaxies, such as their chemical composition, temperature, density, mass, distance, luminosity, and relative motion using Doppler shift measurements. |

Star ClustersStar clusters are groups of stars which are gravitationally bound. Two distinct types of star cluster can be distinguished: globular clusters and open clusters.Globular clusters are tight groups of hundreds of thousands of very old stars, while open clusters generally contain less than a few hundred members, and are often very young. |
