this sound very simple, but know both km and miles for everything... it was tested more than you would think. values for speed of light, AU, and Parsecs were all important.

don't be extremely concerned about your font. Just be sure to use a sans serif font, and condense the text.Point 6 is readable. Most important for notes sheets are charts and tables

Here is a link to old astronomy tests from Wake Forest's Physics 109 class. Test Columns 1 and 2 cover Solar System topics, Column 3 tests cover the sun and stellar evolution. Column 4 tests are the final and are probably 1/3 SS topics and 2/3 RFS topics.

Enjoy.

Does anyone know if I can use a TI-30XS calucuator? It's non-programmable, but I would call it a bit more than "basic..."

As long as it is non-programmable and not scientific, you can use it.

That calculator would definitely be scientific - but there's nothing that bans scientific calculators as far as I know - check back to page 1 or 2 of the thread.

Alright. I guess it really gets down to how the event coordinator interprets "basic calcuator". I'll bring my my TI-30XS and a normal calucuator just to be safe.

Im brand new to this event and was studying wiki and came across the dwarf planets it had pluto on there... Didnt scientists finally conclude it wasnt a planet?

It's a dwarf planet. Not to be confused with a "regular" planet.

Thank you. Also I am studying the atronomers. Do you only need to know their achievements?
