This course will focus on the most important astronomical discoveries from ancient times into the 21st century. This will be light on technical details, while still explaining the science, and focusing on the people who made these amazing discoveries. We’ll provide the significant background of the individual’s life and the interesting stories of what they learned, leading us to our current understanding of the universe. A few of the super stars of astronomy such as: Aristotle, Claudius Ptolemy, Tycho Brahe, Nicolaus Copernicus, Galileo Galilei, Johannes Kepler, Isaac Newton, Edwin Hubble, Albert Einstein, Stephen Hawking plus more. This course is a follow up to the more technical “Astronomy 101” class from past semesters but is not a prerequisite. It is suggested you take both in no specific order. Astronomy 101 will return in the spring.
