The magazine Astronomie + Raumfahrt im Studium has been a specialist magazine for the subject of astronomy and for teaching astronomical topics in other subjects as well as in adult education , which has been published since 1964 .
It was founded in 1964 by Helmut Bernhard under the title “ Astronomy in School ” and was published by Volk und Wissen Verlag until 1990 . In 1991 Friedrich Verlag took over the magazine. Since 1996 it has been published under the title Astronomy + Space Travel in Classes .
concept
Astronomy + Space Travel in Classes is the only German-language magazine that deals with astronomy-didactic and technical issues relating to astronomy and space travel. It is their concern to accompany the lessons in astronomy (both as a subject as well as in the course and elective areas within the physics, mathematics and geography lessons) in a professional and didactic manner.
The authors include renowned specialist astronomers as well as teachers and amateur astronomers. The content orientation is based on a combination of specialist articles and contributions to the design of the lesson with information on current observation possibilities in the sky. Each issue has a main topic, such as “Technical work in astronomy lessons”, “Non-optical astronomy”, “The newly discovered moon”, “Ancient astronomy”, “Orientation to the starry sky”, “How big is the cosmos”.
A didactically prepared projection film for the lesson is enclosed with each booklet. Once a year there is a poster “The sky run in the school year”. All important dates for astronomical observations with students are summarized on it in a calendar overview; this makes long-term planning of such observations much easier.
