PHYS 10400 - Astronomy of the Solar System

Course Credit: 1
ASTRONOMY OF THE SOLAR SYSTEM: In just one generation, space exploration has revolutionized our understanding of the solar system. Planets, moons, asteroids and comets have been transformed from obscure and remote objects with mythical names to remarkable and detailed real worlds. In this course, we will study the surprising new solar system that the Space Age continues to reveal. Knowledge of high school algebra and trigonometry is expected. Three hours per week. [MNS]
