This course introduces stellar and galactic astronomy. The life cycles of stars are investigated including how stars are formed, evolve over time, and eventually die. Additionally, the nature of the Milky Way galaxy, current concepts in cosmology, and the large-scale structure of the universe are studied.
*It is recommended that students take ASTR 1192 concurrently with the lecture. The lab experience serves to enhance the student’s understanding of the concepts discussed in the lecture.
