Development of a Planisphere Type Astronomy Education Web System Based on a Constellation Database Using Ajax

Abstract

In this study, we build a knowledge database that consists of topics planetarium curators have about astronomy and the stars. We suggest that the database should have a structure based on constellations and that mirrors the basic way in which humans perceive the night sky. Furthermore, we developed a web system for astronomy education using Ajax. The web system’s interface is based on the planisphere, which is most basic tool for finding stars.
