  • AST 331: Ast Observation & Analysis

    3.00 Credits
    Western Connecticut State University

    In this course, students are introduced to the theories, instruments and methods such as motion, chemical composition , surface gravity and temperature through which astronomers determine information about stars and planets. A unique and major component of this course will be hands-on work by the students; they will analyze astronomical data which they themselves obtain, using instrumentation at the WCSU Westside and Midtown observatories.
