5 courses with the subject ASTR, each shown exactly as we captured it from the college's catalog, with every element we hold. Where the wording looks broken, that is our reading of the catalog, not the college's text.
ASTR 1000Descriptive
Astronomy (3CR) (3L) [E] Designed to give a general understanding of modern astronomy. A background in historical astronomy will open the course. From there, a survey of the solar system and the objects in it will be discussed. An overview of the life and death of a star will follow. Finally, a description of the galaxy will be covered along with a study on the various theories of the origin of the 172 universe. (Taken with ASTR 1015, equivalent to ASTR 1050 [SE].)
Laboratory (1CR) (2LB) [E] An optional supplement to ASTR 1000 and designed to familiarize the student with tools and procedures of fundamental astronomical observations. (Taken with ASTR 1000, equivalent to ASTR 1050 [SE].)
Astronomy (4CR) (3L, 2LB) [E] A survey of astronomy and the universe. Topics will include astronomical concepts, terms and history, as well as a study of stellar evolution, galaxies, cosmology, and the solar system. The lab is an exercise into the concepts and methods used by astronomers in their study of the universe.
Around Stars (4CR) (3L, 2LB) A survey of the planets and moons of our solar system; the physical laws governing their motions; the theory of their formation and evolution to the present time. Includes comparative studies of the interiors, surfaces, and atmospheres of the planets, and comparison of our solar system to recently discovered extrasolar planets. better in MATH 0920.
