Study astronomy in Ghana during IYA2009
2 July 2009
One way of celebrating IYA2009 is to increase knowledge of the Universe, and education is an excellent method of achieving this. To mark this special year, an opportunity has been created to study astronomy in Cape Coast, Ghana.
Courses include "Great Debates in Astronomy", "Cultural Astronomy", and "The Universe at Your Fingertips: Research in the Survey Age". The intensive University of Arizona programme aims to teach students how to perform cutting-edge astronomy research from anywhere in the world that has an internet connection. Students will also learn about how Africans have traditionally viewed the heavens, and the role the sky has played in their societies through hands-on cultural astronomy research in Cape Coast and the surrounding communities.
