Students of ASTR 1040 from Spring 2006 and of ASTR 1120 from Spring 2005 can find the web-pages of their former classes at the above links.

As a general resource, I've listed some possibly interesting colloquia in different departments at the bottom of the list.

NASA hosts the Astronomy Picture of the Day site (NASA APOD) which regularly features interesting astronomical images and competent writen descriptions by experts in many fields. Many of the images in the observing reports will come from their extensive archives, and they are a good initial resource for exploring astrophysical phenomena.
