Course number : SI123   

« back to classes page
This six-session course will tour: 1. Our home territory: the Sun, Earth, and Moon. What’s our past, and our future? 2. Our amazing Solar System: planets, Jupiter’s and Saturn’s ocean moons, undiscovered Plutos, Planet X, a trip to Mars. 3. Our Milky Way Galaxy: star nurseries and graveyards, other Earths, rogue planets, black holes, pulsars, deadly spiral arms. 4. The realm of the galaxies: clusters, collisions, the cosmic web, the James Webb Telescope’s journey to the beginning of time. 5. The great beyond: the expanding universe, dark matter, dark energy, parallel universes, other dimensions, and the end of everything. 6. A surprise! Each class will describe Sarasota’s sky that night, and present a vignette of a groundbreaking female astronomer. There’s no math, but there are BIG NUMBERS.
