Science Right Arrow 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.
