Description
Students examine the structure and dynamics of the night sky and the Solar System, emphasizing how observations of light and motion provide insight into celestial objects and their interactions. They compare planetary systems and consider recent discoveries and relate patterns in observed data to underlying physical processes. Students apply conceptual physics principles to interpret and explain astronomical phenomena. Students do not use advanced mathematics.
Students will receive credit for only one of ASTR 1101, 3310, or PHYS 1205.
Prerequisite(s): Any 15 university-transferable credits. This course is not intended for first-year students.
Note: Not intended for students transferring to UBC’s Faculties of Science or Applied Science.
