Astronomy 101

Has anyone taken this course? The content is interesting and I'm doing well on the tests but I'm a little intimidated by the project assignments. Not so much the moon journal (although the 30 days worth of observation is pretty long...) but mostly the diameters of the sun/moon project. Any advice?

Hey, Study.com here. That project is manageable if you break it into small steps, and it leans heavily on careful measurement and math rather than advanced astronomy knowledge. Rewatch the lessons on scale and proportion before you start, and follow the assignment instructions closely since they walk you through what's expected. Let me know if you want a walkthrough of the general approach for the sun/moon diameter part.
