This is an introductory course that will concentrate on the origin, life and fate of stars and the universe, the various objects in the universe, the exploration of the universe by astronomers and the understanding of the principles that lie behind the functioning of the universe. An appropriate laboratory program will include real-time telescope observations, field trips and experience with more advanced observing techniques. This is a course for nonscience majors who need a natural science credit or anyone who wants to study the wonders of the universe.
