An introductory survey of the science of astronomical objects outside of our solar system. Topics will include the scientific method, how we observe the sky, interactions between light and matter, our sun, the life-cycle of stars, stellar remnants, exoplanets, galaxies, dark matter, and cosmology. Students will learn about the current theories of the processes that govern the universe and hopefully gain a deeper appreciation of the night sky.
