Science Fiction with Good Astronomy

An updated and expanded guide to science fiction with reasonable astronomy, compiled by astronomy educator Andrew Fraknoi, is now available free on line. The 23-page guide is organized by topic; so, for example, all the stories that feature reasonable depictions of black holes are in one place.  Some 44 astronomy (and related physics) topics are covered.  

For students (or teachers) on limited budgets, the new version includes 88 links to published stories that are available free on the Web.

I like that you linked to every website that would be helpful to me in developing a science-based lesson plan for my future classroom. Thank you for including the key concepts that were covered in the text above. The fact that the majority of the resources are free is another wonderful feature.
