3.00 Credits
3 hours lecture Prerequisites: PHY 171 Introduction to the physical nature of the solar system. Characteristics of the planets and major satellites will be examined using lecture and online resources. Topics will include compositions, internal structures, atmospheres, possibilities for biological activity, and the development of geologic surface features. The presentation is non-mathematical and will introduce the use of the observatory and basic astrophotography.
