Abstract |
In this study, we build a database specialized for astronomical education. The database consists of the information that planetarium curators have about astronomy and the stars. We suggest that the database should have a structure based on constellations, mirroring the basic way in which humans perceive the night sky. Furthermore, we develop a web system for astronomy education using Ajax. The web system's interface is based on the planisphere, which is the most basic tool for finding stars. |
