Comments:
There will be some extra astronomers and/or time periods left over. These will be lessons that
I will do. However, if you would like to do an optional assignment to boost your grade, you
may do an extra presentation for another 20/20 point assignment. SEE ME AHEAD OF TIME
if you would like to do this. THIS OFFER EXPIRES when those astronomers/time periods come
up in the line-up. You may not do one after I have done the lesson.
