Introductory Astronomy Curriculum
With Slooh Quests, Astronomy 101 students grasp core concepts while following in the footsteps of astronomy’s most famous discoverers. They then advance to Advanced Missions, where they design and conduct their own investigations—choosing telescopes by date, time, catalog, or coordinates, exploring a variety of image processing options, and working with FITS data to uncover real cosmic phenomena.
Career Opportunities in Space
Space isn't just for rocket scientists and astronauts. With partners the Space Foundation and Space Workforce for Tomorrow, Slooh's industry certification program inspires, prepares, and ultimately employs the future space workforce. Students accumulating Slooh Badges and Gravity Points will earn space industry workforce certification in 2025.
Leading institutions like Purdue, Cornell, Princeton, Bucknell, the University of New Hampshire, Windward Community College, Austin Peay, the Weizmann Institute, UAE University, the University of Oldenburg and so many more are are using Slooh to inspire curiosity, engage students, and make astronomy hands-on.
Explore the tool colleges worldwide are using to bring the universe into the classroom.
Case Studies
Slooh’s Astronomy Major accounts provide access to Advanced Missions (choosing
telescope, date, time, by catalog or coordinates), 18 of Slooh’s astronomical
catalogs, and advanced processing options including luminance filter-only.
They include five standard and one advanced mission scheduled at any one time.
This enables students to conduct basic astrometry and photometry (using standard filters).
Astronomy Major Accounts
Slooh’s Graduate Research accounts provide access to Advanced Missions (choosing
telescope, date, time, by catalog or coordinates), 18 astronomical catalogs,
and advanced processing options including luminance filter-only and photometric
filter options. The advanced mission quota is increased to five at any one time.
This enables students to conduct advanced astrometry and photometry.
Low-resolution spectroscopy will be added in 2025.
