  • ASTRO-3 Solar System Astronomy (3 Credits)

    Presents a survey of the sun, planets, asteroids, comets, and the growing list of new solar systems around other stars for non-science majors. Additional topics include principles of scientific reasoning, applications to the structure and evolution of planetary systems, and methods astronomers use to discover and study other solar systems.

  • ASTRO-4 Stars, Galaxies, and Universe (3 Credits)

    Surveys the lives of stars and galaxies and the relationship of life to the origin of universes for non-science majors. Describes how astronomers use science to arrive at our current ideas on the evolution of stars and galaxies. Investigates how the nature of life relates to the origin of our universe and possible parallel universes. Includes optional star party at Cabrillo Observatory.
