Students explore the night sky and the Solar System, examining the motions and properties of celestial objects and how they are observed. They investigate planetary orbits, compare planets and moons, and consider recent discoveries. Students also examine how telescopes and light are used to study space and apply basic physics ideas to interpret astronomical phenomena.

Students will receive credit for only one of ASTR 1101, 3311, or PHYS 1205.

Note: Math 10 is strongly recommended.
