Introduction to astrophysical objects and phenomena beyond the solar system, and the governing basic physical principles; galaxies, quasars, and structure of the universe; cosmology; the Milky Way; the interstellar medium and the birth of stars; distances, motions, radiation, structure, evolution, and death of stars, including neutron stars and black holes. Emphasis will be placed on problem-solving and scientific methods. Two lectures and one discussion each week, and observing sessions during the term. Not intended for physical science majors; students with credit in PHYS 211 are encouraged to take ASTR 210. Course Information: Credit is not given to students with credit in ASTR 100, ASTR 210, or PHYS 212. Class Schedule Information: ASTR 121 and ASTR 122 cover the same topics as ASTR 100, but the material and topics are covered in much more depth over two semesters instead of one. ASTR 121 and ASTR 122 are independent offerings and can be taken in any order. While ASTR 121 and ASTR 122 are for non-science majors, problems solving with basic algebra is required. Science and astronomy majors should take ASTR 210.
