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.
