The Astronomical League Award Programs

The Astronomical League provides programs for people to complete to get certificates of various types of astronomy.  Here are the ones I am working on

The Local Galaxy Group & Galactic Neighborhood

The Local Galaxy Group is dominated by three large spiral galaxies: Andromeda, the Milky Way, and M33. And there are many dwarf galaxies the orbit these 3 galaxies.  This program will teach about the local groups.
