Astronomy Online

The organisers of the Astronomy On-Line invite you to participate in a special programme which will take place in December 1997. It is smaller than last year's event, but will still offer some interesting possibilities.

It includes a number of activities which you may like to join. In most cases, there are some instructions as to what to do which you should read carefully before you begin.

Once you have found the answer(s), you may send them to the email address indicated. Please do so before the Christmas holidays. In early January, summary reports will be published from which you can see what the various groups have done.

You may of course also like to have a look at the many other webpages which are available within Astronomy On-Line. Note, however, that some of the facilities will not be active this time.

Note also that there are plans for a major web-based, follow-up programme which may take place in 1998. More details will be made available in due time.
