PROJECT CLEA (Contemporary Laboratory Experiences in Astronomy) develops laboratory exercises that
illustrate modern astronomical techniques using digital
data and color images. They are suitable for high-
school and college classes at all levels, but come with
defaults set for use in introductory astronomy classes
for non-science majors. Each CLEA laboratory exercise
includes a dedicated computer program, a student
manual, and a technical guide for the instructor. The
technical guides describe file formats, user-settable
options, and algorithms used in the programs. The most
advanced CLEA labs run under Windows on PC's, or on
color-capable Macintosh computers. Black and white Mac
programs (labeled b/w Mac in the descriptions below)
are also available for some of the programs but please
note that these do not have all the features of their
Windows counterparts, although they share their basic
functionality. Some exercises that use public-domain
programs running under DOS are also available.
Clicking on the Software icon on the left of your screen will take you to the page where
you can view all available software. Clicking on any of the lab icons on that page allows you to view the lab description, download software, and much
more. Manuals, questionnare forms and lab software are readily available
throughout the site. Please feel free to browse around. Any questions or
comments can be directed to
clea@gettysburg.edu through our evaluation forms
, our memo forms or one
of many direct e-mail links throughout our site. Please note, Manuals
may not be available for some non-Windows software and for some recently-
released software.
PROJECT CLEA is supported by Gettysburg College and the National Science Foundation
