 ## Overview
 
-Each tutorial is a [Jupyter notebook](https://jupyter.org/) file. Each notebook is saved in a separate directory within the `tutorials/notebooks` subdirectory in this project. For an example, let's look at the source notebook of the [FITS-header](https://github.com/astropy/astropy-tutorials/tree/main/tutorials/FITS-header/) tutorial. Within `tutorials/notebooks/FITS-header`, there is a single Jupyter notebook file that contains the text and code for the tutorial, and any small data files used in the tutorial (in this case, a single FITS file). The notebook file is automatically run and converted into a static HTML page ([for example](https://learn.astropy.org/tutorials/FITS-header.html)), which is then displayed in the tutorial listing on the main tutorials webpage, http://tutorials.astropy.org. Each tutorial notebook file also contains information such as the author's name, month and year it was written, and any other metadata that should be associated with the tutorial.
