Introduction to Stars and Galaxies

Students explore the nature of the Universe and our place within it by examining the life cycles of stars and the structure of galaxies. They investigate how stars form, evolve, and end their lives, and consider phenomena such as black holes, cosmic expansion, and the search for extraterrestrial life. Students apply basic physics ideas to interpret modern astronomical discoveries.

Students will receive credit for only one of ASTR 1102 or 3311.

Note: Math 10 is strongly recommended.
