We’re excited to share that we’ve moved the long-running physics paper “Introduction to Astronomy” from summer school to semester 2 for 2024. The paper, now coded ASTR 101 Introduction to Astronomy, covers the history and cutting edge of astronomy and astrophysics, including ancient astronomy and indigenous knowledge, the birth and death of stars, planetary systems, galaxies and cosmology, and searches for extraterrestrial life.
The paper is designed to be accessible to anyone, including non-science majors, and involves almost no maths. We hope that this move into semester 2 will make it more accessible for interested students to learn about the wonders of the Universe!
