Astronomy 2110 is a general astronomy course at a greater level of detail than is covered in Astronomy 101. ASTR 2110 and 2115 are also the first required ASTR classes for BS Astrophysics majors. This spring course will begin with a review of positional astronomy, celestial motion, and the electromagnetic spectrum. We will then explore the Solar System from its inner to its outer regions, what we know so far about planets around other stars (exoplanets), and life elsewhere. We will use math and physics as we explore the Universe. 

This is a three credit-hour course. Class meets for two 75-minute sessions of direct instruction for fifteen weeks during the Spring 2023 semester.
