PHS 113 - Astronomy - Exploring the Universe

Institution:

Broome Community College

Subject:

Physical Science

Description:

Exploring the universe is an exciting challenge as you are led away from earth on a journey through the cosmos and back again. Starting with a look at the historical origin of the constellations and a basic knowledge of the sky, you are taken into the realm of the stars, galaxies, and the universe at large. Current theories of the birth, life, and death of stars will show you the possibilities of extraterrestrial life. Theories of the origin of the universe will give you an informed opinion of the nature of existence itself. The return trip to earth brings you a look at our solar system with the NASA provided knowledge of the planets. Extensive hands-on experience is generated in the laboratory, which makes full use of the off-campus Link Planetarium and Kopernik Observatory.
