P123 Investigating the Universe

3 credit(s)
This general education level course covers topics similar in nature to P121  Astronomy: The Stars and Beyond but in somewhat more depth and without the observational laboratory component. It focuses on three broad areas in astronomy and cosmology: gathering information about the universe (science and its methods; models of motion of celestial objects [including distance scales and gravitation]; light, spectra, and atomic structure); the nature of stars and galaxies (stellar formation, evolution, and death; the expanding universe); and cosmology (the Big Bang theories of the early universe). Credit will not be granted for both P121  and P123. Prerequisite: mathematics competency.
