PHYS 1201 V11 - Introduction to Astronomy
Summer Session I, May 30 - June 29, 2023
Online: TWTh, 09:00AM - 12:00PM
Includes discussions of the solar system, stars, galaxies and cosmology. Method of making observations. An investigation of physical phenomena including lenses, spectroscopy, and refraction. Direct observation through the telescope of celestial objects depends on their position and weather conditions. Astro photography and film development is also available. he lab is intended for the student with little mathematical background. Note that there will be regular night-time observation labs. (No lab fee).

Classes listed as either Lincoln Center or Rose Hill will meet on-campus only. Classes listed as "Online" during Session I or II will meet synchronously online during their scheduled meeting times. Students in different time zones should plan accordingly. Session III online courses are asynchronous (exceptions are noted in course descriptions).
Hybrid courses will meet in person on campus at the times indicated; additional online work will also be required.
