A survey of the history of astronomy and the current state of this science. A look at the probabilities of, and search for, extraterrestrial life. A study of our solar sys- tem, stars and their evolution, our galaxy and other galaxies, supernovas, pulsars, black holes, quasars.

Are we alone in the Universe Finding the answer to this question would be one of the most important dis- coveries in human history. This course explores how humans go about the search for life on other worlds. Topics include, but are not limited to, the study of the origin and evolution of life on Earth; the search for microbial and intelligent life elsewhere in the universe; the relatively new science of astrobiology; expansion of humans beyond Earth; and the societal and philo- sophical implications of the search for life. Fulfills one math/science core requirement for non-science majors.

Materialism and science have, historically, prospered together since the Enlightenment, but science in itself neither denies nor endorses a materialistic ontology. One danger of modernity is to accept materialism uncrit- ically while at the same time allowing it to coexist with religious faith, unexamined. Students explore the issues that surround investing nature with a spiritual and sacred aspect yet not abandoning a scientific worldview. This course explores how these two outlooks are rooted in the history of Western thought, and how the two world- views might be seen to form a coherent understanding of the world. Does not fulfill science core requirement. Same course as PL322.

A survey of the theories of the solar system starting with Pythagoras and Ptolemy and extending through Copernicus, Galileo, Newton, and Einstein. Explores the modern space program and what it has revealed about our planetary environment. Fulfills one math/sci- ence core requirement for non-science majors. Closed to students who have taken PH120.261

The life of stars is discussed: how they are born, how they mature, how they die-sometimes with a bang and sometimes with a whimper. Pulsars, quasars, and black holes. Galaxies, cluster of galaxies. Cosmology, or how the universe began, if it did, and how it will end, if it will. Fulfills one math/science core requirement for non-sci- ence majors. Closed to students who have taken PH120.

3.00 Credits
An examination of energy sources for the future: nuclear power, breeder reactors, gasoline substitutes, the future of coal, solar and geothermal sources are studied in view of the laws of thermodynamics. Studies the impact of energy use on resource conservation, water resources, air quality, waste disposal, land use.
