Class Number | Class | Meeting Time | Instructor | Room | Unreserved Enrollment | Reserved Enrollment | Total Enrollment | Wait List |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
6671 | ASTR 100L - 412 Astronomy with Skynet: Our Place in Space | Mo 2:30PM - 4:20PM | DANIEL REICHART, Dylan Dutton, Sydney Jetton | Chapman Hall-Rm 0235 | 21/23 | Seats filled | 24/26 | 0/999 |
Description: Pre- or corequisite, ASTR 100, 101, 102, or 103. Students will use UNC's global network of "Skynet" telescopes to observe planets, moons, and other solar-system objects, star-forming regions and clusters, supernova remnants, and galaxies. Through these observations and others, we will reach a better understanding of our place in the universe, and resolve common misconceptions. Topics include: seasons, the Galilean revolution, the cosmic distance ladder, the Great Debate of 1920, dark matter in our galaxy, Hubble's law, dark energy. Previously offered as ASTR 101L. 1 units. | ||||||||
