This is an introductory course in which you will develop a basic understanding of the night sky, our position in the Solar System, the Milky Way and the Universe. We will use interactive software and apps to explore our solar system and others throughout the galaxy and look at potential habitable worlds. We will compare and contrast different types of stars and we will glimpse into the future of our star, the Sun. We will take a journey through the Milky Way and beyond and we’ll conclude with a brief discussion on the nature of the Universe and the gaps in our understanding that still need to be filled.
