FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
November 27, 2000 -- The American Association of Amateur Astronomers is pleased to announce updates to its popular astronomy web site.
On the Constellation Home Page, we have created a new page covering the 12 Zodiacal Constellations and added special mythological backgrounds for many of the constellations. The 12 Zodiacal Constellations are associated with the astrological Signs of the Zodiac. Our new page explains the astronomical significance of these constellations and the relationship between astronomy and astrology.

Our Solar System Page is a good place to go when you need information on any of the planets of the solar system. We have a page covering each of the nine planets, plus the Sun and the Moon.

If you are interested in general information about astronomy, be sure to visit our page entitled A Concise History of Astronomy. Here you will get a high-level overview of astronomical principles and the history of astronomy.

We have developed these online resources to answer the many questions about astronomy that come our way. AAAA’s Constellation Home Page, which gets several hundred visits per day, is one of our most popular resources. The Solar System Page and the Concise History of Astronomy are also quite popular. These three pages combined offer a wide range of information to students and observers alike, as well as the general public. We may not be able to cast your horoscope, but there is still a lot to explore here.

The American Association of Amateur Astronomers has had an active presence in the amateur astronomy community since 1996. As the AAAA continues to grow and expand, it is having a wider and wider influence among amateur astronomers, and continues to refine the use of the internet as a tool to promote amateur astronomy to the widest possible audience. Through the medium of its own web page, an online store devoted to carefully chosen astronomy merchandise, our own quarterly newsletter, reciprocal links with other astronomy web sites, the creative use of online resources such as eGroups, Listbot and banner advertising, affiliate programs such as Amazon.com, and partnerships with well recognized astronomy organizations such as Sky Publishing, Kalmbach Publishing, Bushnell Sports Optics and the Astronomical League, the American Association of Amateur Astronomers has become an important source of astronomy information on the World Wide Web.
