Peter Shull is an associate professor of physics and director of OSU's H.S. Mendenhall Observatory, which is home to Oklahoma's largest optical telescope. He holds degrees in astrophysics from Rice (Ph.D) and Princeton. On campus, he teaches large introductory courses on the solar system, and on stars and galaxies, as well as advising research students working at the observatory.

This book, written with Dr. Brian Monson, contains 24 learning projects in astronomy designed for the popular Voyager 4 "desktop planetarium" program. The projects guide readers through animated simulations that explain a wide range of subjects such as lunar phases, eclipses, flights to Mars, binary stars and the Milky Way Galaxy.
