Astronomy |
Astronomy is the study of the vast universe around us. We start on
the earth and sweep outward past the moon to the planets of the solar
system and our sun, one of the billions of stars in our galaxy. On our
journey through the universe, we explore an exciting realm populated by
black holes, quasars, red giants, white dwarfs, and
more.
Astronomy is taught in a modern planetarium which accurately simulates
the nighttime sky, showing the positions and motions of the stars and
planets. The real sky can be viewed through the sixteen-inch reflector
telescope in the N. A. Richardson Astronomical Observatory.
Students planning to transfer to a four-year institution and major in
either physics or astronomy should consult with a counselor regarding
the transfer process and lower division requirements. |
