Using secular textbooks, students DEFINE, EXPLAIN, and ILLUSTRATE the major vocabulary words in each of the ten divisions of Astronomy. They then use religious writings or their scriptures of choice to study the spiritual existence of the universe.
An excellent introductory section to this guidebook is an article by J. Reuben Clark, Jr., called “Who Was This Jesus?” In his remarks made to Brigham Young University students in 1951, President Clark shows how Jesus is the great “Creator and Destroyer of Universes.” His marvelous power is demonstrated in this testimony-building report.
The ten divisions and the major vocabulary words in this guidebook are:
- The Universe
- Nebulae
- Galaxies
- Constellations
- Stars
- The Solar System
- Comets
- Meteors
- Moons
- Planets
