Observational Astronomy (MOTR ASTR 100L)

Catalog description

Observational Astronomy presents both astronomical viewing and laboratory experimentation. Through direct observation, students will become familiar with constellations, planets, moons, stars, clusters, and nebulae, and will learn how to use small telescopes and other simple equipment. This course may accompany PSI 111 (Introduction to Astronomy I) or may be taken independently. No prior knowledge of astronomy is necessary.
