Mar 2026 · 2nd Semester

This course will provide the student with an introduction to the phenomenon (energy and materials) outside of the earth’s atmosphere, including the earth/moon system, the solar system and star systems, the Milky Way and galactic systems, and the universe as a whole. Concepts of modern astronomy, the origin and history of the Universe and the formation of the Earth and the solar system will also be studied. Students will compare the Earth’s properties with those of the other plants and explore how the heavens have influenced human thought and action. Although largely descriptive, the course will occasionally require the use of sophomore-high level mathematics.
