Astronomy is the study of our universe on the largest scales. Physics, chemistry, and even biology meet in this course as we study planets, stars, galaxies, black holes, and more. The curriculum covers the history of astronomy, celestial mechanics, telescopes, the solar system, stars, galaxies, and beyond. Students apply critical thinking and mathematical analysis to understand how basic physics concepts shape the universe around us. Material is presented in a blended learning environment that combines classroom lecture, hands-on labs, and computer-aided activities.
