The Astronomy Cafe

"A web site for the astronomically disadvantaged"

Created in 1995 by NASA Astronomer

Dr. Sten Odenwald

I started this website in 1995 as a way to help people get the best information available on the astronomical universe. Beginning with the award - winning 'Ask the Astronomer', during the last 15 years, I have added many other resources based upon suggestions by my visitors. My collection of astronomy education websites now get over 2 million hits per month thanks to your continued interest!

Do you have questions about space that you can't seem to get answers to? Would you like to learn about a career in astronomy, Big Bang cosmology, and many other HOT topics in astronomy?

Sit down with your favorite beverage and have a look around!
