The Astronomy Academy courses are broken into two parts: Science
and Observation. Because the vast majority of our users live in
the Northern Hemisphere, the observation portion of the courses
is geared towards them. While you can enjoy the science, you
will not be able to enjoy finding the suggested objects in each
packet. Go to http://www.skymaps.com to print yourself a free
sky map. Make sure you print the one labeled "Southern
Hemisphere." When you come to the portion of an Astronomy Packet
that asks you to find a particular item, choose another similar
item of your own. Example: If the packet asks you to find a
constellation such as Orion, you could instead look for another
constellation such as the Southern Cross. If the packet asks you
to find a star, find a different but similar star. Use the sky
map as a guide. If you find a replacement item for each
suggested object, give yourself credit. (We will develop a class
for Southern Hemisphere students in the future) Any Southern
