    Description
    Overview of the universe beyond our solar system. Understand progressively larger structures in Astronomy, such as stars, galaxies, and extra-galactic structures by understanding the processes that shape them. Use the scientific method, basic physical concepts, and observations (from telescopes, spacecraft, neutrino and gravity wave detectors, etc.) Briefly consider relativity, black holes, spacetime, and the history and fate of the universe.
