Astronomy 1010 provides a historical introduction to the science of astronomy, with an emphasis on the nature and evolution of models of the solar system. We spend time on the fundamentals of modern astronomy, including motion, forces, gravity, and the nature of light. We focus on the dynamics and physical properties of solar system objects, including planets, moons, asteroids, and comets. Finally, our study culminates with an investigation of the origin of the solar system. Additional topics may include recent advances in astronomical research and findings from current solar system exploration by automated spacecraft. Astronomy 1010 is a course designed for students having little or no background in astronomy or physics. The course focuses on interpretation of the nature of the solar system based on modern observational techniques and the properties of light and matter.
Prerequisite:
Reading and Writing Skills 2

This is an optional laboratory course for the exploration of the principles and phenomena discussed in the Introduction to Solar System Astronomy lecture course. This course includes laboratory activities (indoor and outdoor) investigating the properties of the objects within our Solar System in addition to an analysis of Solar System phenomena. Topics include measuring the properties of Solar System objects (their sizes, distances, etc.), analyzing their motions, developing an understanding of the observational effects of Earth's own motion, and an introduction to the methods employed by astronomers to make new discoveries.*A working knowledge of basic algebra will be useful in this course.

Stars, galaxies, and the structure of the universe are explored in this descriptive course. Starting with a review of the fundamentals of astronomy, the course then moves on to the formation, evolution, and death of stars. The course then continues with the nature of galaxies, galaxy evolution, current concepts in cosmology, and the large scale structure of the universe. Astronomy 1110 is a course designed for students having little or no background in astronomy or physics. The course focuses on interpretation of the nature of the universe based on modern observational techniques and the properties of light and matter.
