A Universe of Discovery
We find ourselves in a Universe containing hundreds of billions of galaxies, each containing hundreds of billions of stars. We've observed everything from giant clouds of cold gas harboring stellar nurseries to the titanic explosions produced by the collisions of dead star cores. In this class we'll explore some of these discoveries, the tools and methods scientists use to make these discoveries, and how those same methods can be used to make new discoveries closer to home.
