Course Description

From breath-taking images produced with today’s space telescopes to measurements that infer the presence of black holes, dark matter, and dark energy, the science of astronomy uses light to find the truth about the universe within which we live. In this course, we explore the science of imaging the universe and the technology that makes the images possible. Topics include the night sky, telescopes and cameras, light and color, and the science behind the images.
