The ability of web applications to provide students the ability to explore and investigate astronomical concepts presented in class in a way which can help student understanding. In this presentation we report on the results of students making use of the computational tools in webMathematicaTM to analyze and investigate a variety of astronomical phenomena, including topics such as the Runge-Lenz vector, descriptions of the orbits of the exo-planets and other topics related to celestial mechanics. Using the exercise described herein, students at the North Carolina A & T State University and Colorado State University investigated via computational simulations the creation and characteristics and the effects of various parameters on these systems being studied.
