Welcome to Dr. Halverson's Web Page, which has...
----- Information for Halverson’s Astronomy students.
----- My resume, my publications and other information about myself..
----- Information for my old students at Stern MASS, a fabulous high school on the campus of Cal State LA.

I am now teaching Astro 5 (Introduxtory Astronomy) at Mount San Antonio College, aka Mt SAC.

Mt SAC’s Earth Sciences and Astronomy, Physics and Engineering departments are GREAT!
Students get a solid academic foundation in, do projects and succesfully apply their skills as transfer students to CSU and UC school or go straight to good jobs.

Update: The Stern MASS Engineering Club telescope WORKS! This picture of the moon was taken by Adrian De La Torre using his phone, pointing through the telescope’s eyepiece. We’re working on a handy phone holder to make it easy to take pictures like this. I personally want good pictures of Jupiter and Saturn.

Picture from my Physics class, Fall 2014. How often do you see students hammering their teacher?
My head was protected by inertia. Newton's 1st Law.
