RFLA 200S 08 - Totally Spaced Out (CRN 11016)


Why does the Earth experience seasons? Do stars really twinkle? What are black holes? Where did we come from? Do aliens really exist? This course serves as a survey of concepts in Astronomy that range from the history of Astronomy to the formation and structure of our Solar System to the origins and eventual fate of the Universe. Students will examine in detail the changing night sky, the nature of light and telescopes, planetary formation and star birth and death. Students will learn how these topics directly influence their daily lives as well as how our current actions will impact our planet’s future.
