Introduction to fundamental principles in astronomy. Topics include geocentric vs. heliocentric astronomy, the celestial sphere, navigating the night sky, tides and eclipses, and a detailed examination of the planets and other solar system objects. Includes a bi-weekly lab and observing sessions, weather permitting. Observational Astronomy: Observational astronomers use telescopes and other instruments to observe celestial objects and phenomena.

An Astronomy minor is an excellent choice for students interested in exploring the vast and fascinating field of astronomy, which encompasses the study of celestial objects, the universe's origins, and the physical laws that govern cosmic phenomena. Here are key points about the Astronomy minor: Fundamental Concepts: Students in an Astronomy minor delve into fundamental concepts of astronomy, including the structure and evolution of stars, galaxies, planets, and other celestial bodies. They study topics such as planetary systems, stellar formation and evolution, cosmology, and the history of the universe.

The Astronomy Major at Cornell University is designed to be flexible so that it can be customized to the needs of each student. There is a common core set of courses followed by two concentration paths: Astrophysics Concentration is designed for those who intend to go on to graduate school in the physical sciences such as Astronomy, Physics, or Engineering. General Astronomy Concentration is intended for students who do not plan on research careers in astronomy, but may have more broad intellectual interests, and are interested in related career paths, such as education or public outreach. The flexibility offered by the General Astronomy Concentration make it suitable to be elected as second major by a broad group of students.

Smith Astronomy is a part of the Five College Astronomy Department. The consortium offers a rich curriculum in astronomy and astrophysics, taught by astronomers from Smith, Amherst College, Hampshire College, Mount Holyoke College, and Massachusetts.

Are you interested in understanding how atoms can be cooled and trapped using lasers and magnetic fields, investigating fundamental symmetries in particle physics, or studying the evolution of galaxies over cosmic time? Want to perform experiments using X-ray diffraction, lasers, and a Michelson-Morley interferometer? At Colby, you can.

This learning module provides an introduction to modern cosmology and how it explains some experimental facts about our Universe. We start by discussing the homogenous universe described by the FRW spacetime, explain the various components of the matter content, touch on Big Bang Nucleosynthesis, CMB, dark matter, and dark energy. We also discuss motivations for introducing inflation and how it predicts the right kind of fluctuations that lead to the structure formation in our Universe.

Astronomy classes at TMCC support degree programs in the sciences as well as students who wish to complete their general education requirements.

The Solar System and Beyond is a fun and informative course for those fascinated by our solar system's mysteries. The course will feature an exploration of Earth, the solar system, stars, and galaxies.

A significant learning experience in the Atacama Desert, the driest desert in the world. The programs are designed to provide a comprehensive experience, including quality academic learning, activities in the field inserted in the midst of desert landscapes, where visitors can enjoy, share and exchange experiences. AIChile Team will introduce historical and archaeological sites, natural attractions such as Paranal Observatory, Geological Museums, Huanchaca Ruins, the sculpture ‘Mano del Desierto’ among other places, in San Pedro de Atacama you can visit The famous and mitic Moon Valley, Lascar Volcano, Geysers. Our programs are open to any who is interested, students, companies or simply groups of friends who want to acquire this type of experience as a personal goal. Guided tours, accommodation, meals, support material and more are included in these two wonderful weeks.
