A Guided Tour Through the Universe (OLLI)

This five-session course will tour: 1. Our home territory in space: the Sun, the Earth, and the Moon; our origins and our future. 2. Our amazing solar system: new discoveries including oceans on Jupiter's and Saturn's moons, thousands of undiscovered Plutos, Planet X, and trips to Saturn and Mars. 3. Our Milky Way galaxy: star nurseries and graveyards, other Earths, rogue planets, black holes, pulsars, and deadly spiral arms. 4. The realm of the galaxies: clusters, collisions, the cosmic web, and 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. We’ll also see what's visible in Sarasota skies tonight, vignettes of groundbreaking female astronomers, and no math!
