Extractions: Welcome to the Department of Astronomy's general education class web site. The department currently offers six courses that can be used to satisfy general education degree requirements, NATS 102, ASTR 201, ASTR 202, ASTR 203, ASTR 204, ASTR 206. The University catalog descriptions of each course are given below. Here we provide a brief summary of the offerings and our recommendations. NATS 102 The Physical Universe (3 units) Description: This course presents an introduction to the science of Astronomy placed in the broader context of the physical sciences. Our survey of the Universe will include our current understanding of our Solar System, stars, the Milky Way Galaxy, other galaxies, and the large-scale structure and evolution of the Universe. We will also cover the basic principles of physics, chemistry, and geology needed to interpret astronomical observations. The application of the scientific method will be emphasized throughout the course.

Bad Astronomy and Pseudoscience Lecture Notes Homework and Tutorials Old Exams Past Homework ... Helmer Aslaksen's home page The goal of this course is to study astronomy in a cultural context. We will look at questions like: How is the date of Chinese New Year determined? Why do the Muslim and Chinese months start on different days? Will the Moon ever look like it does on the Singapore flag? What date of the year is the earliest sunrise in Singapore? How did ancient sailors navigate? After taking this course you will become conscious of the motion of the Sun and the Moon and notice and question things you have earlier taken for granted. You will appreciate mankind's struggle through the ages and throughout the world to understand the mathematics of the heavens.

Its legacy may enable scientists to solve some of the most perplexing riddles about the Sun, including the heating of the solar corona, the acceleration of the solar wind, and the physical conditions of the solar interior. It will give solar physicists their first long term, uninterrupted view of the mysterious star that we call the Sun. On-boad instruments.

Give us feedback Sign up for our newsletter: From constellations and planets to galaxies, and comets, Scientific Astronomer helps you determine which objects and events are visible from your location and tells you exactly when and where to look for them. You can even pinpoint the optimal dates and times to get the best naked-eye view of specific objects including stars, low-orbit satellites, and the asteroid Vesta. Scientific Astronomer contains a wealth of searchable information about the properties and movements of over 9000 stars and other objects. You can also add information, such as your own list of stars, comets, asteroids, and satellites, along with the behavior of their orbital paths. With Scientific Astronomer you can produce a comprehensive wall chart of the social calendar of the heavens for the entire year, make detailed star charts of any region of the sky, or even construct a working planisphere. View objects and events from every perspective as you plot the orbits of the Galilean moons of Jupiter, make satellite track plots, and study eclipses and occultations. Render three-dimensional graphics to see how the planets look from a given viewpoint on a given date, and label special features such as Jupiter's Great Red Spot.

Groups at the UNSW and the ANU have deployed experiments at the South Pole, in collaboration with the US Center for Astrophysical Research in Antarctica (CARA). They have led the site testing program at the Pole, and contributed significantly to the infrared program. The UNSW group is also working with the French and Italian national Antarctic programs to develop astronomical facilities at Dome C. They have proposed the 2m Douglas Mawson Telescope for the site. Australia also maintains a neutron and muon telescope at its coastal station of Mawson.

Extractions: One of the best ways to study the interstellar medium and star forming regions in our own and other galaxies has been through observations at millimeter wavelengths. The Laboratory for Millimeter-Wave Astronomy (LMA) is an organization set up within the Department of Astronomy to manage Maryland's 20% participation in the Berkeley Illinois Maryland Array (BIMA) , a millimeter-wave radio array in Hat Creek, California. The LMA group is interested in understanding the basic physical properties of star forming regions in our own and nearby galaxies, the properties of the interstellar medium in general, galactic dynamics and the overall structure of the Milky-Way, and external galaxies. They primarily use millimeter transitions in the low lying levels of simple molecules like CO and the very good spatial resolution available with BIMA (0.5 arcsec) to study the morphology and dynamics of molecular clouds, which are thought to be stellar nurseries and a tracer of the galactic disk. They also develop both hardware and software in support of these observations.
