Meets Mn Transfer Goal 3 - Natural Sciences. This is an introductory astronomy course designed for non-science majors. This course presents astronomy in a cosmic context. The course starts with an overview of the evolving universe that is used during the entire course to develop an integrated understanding of astronomy and an appreciation for science. This course emphasizes key physical concepts that enable students to understand how science can explain the phenomena they see in their daily lives and how these are connected to the processes that govern the cosmos. Topics include our emerging understanding of galaxy evolution, starbursts, quasars, intergalactic clouds and dark matter. In addition, we compare each of the planets to develop a deeper understanding of our solar system, our own world, our relationship to the cosmos and the prospects for life elsewhere in the universe. Prerequisite(s): READ0304, ENGL0304 or Appropriate Accuplacer Score. (3 C: 3 lect/pres, 0 lab, 0 other)
