Transfers ToUC and CSUCal-GETC Area 5A · IGETC Area 5A · CSU GE Area B1DescriptionThis introductory course focuses on observational astronomy. Students attending in-person classes on the Pleasant Hill campus will visit the planetarium to identify constellations, discover how the rotation and orbit of the Earth affects our view of the night sky, distinguish the causes of Moon phases, and predict eclipses. Students attending online classes will view a simulated sky on their computers to identify the same motions and phenomena. Students will be introduced to light and energy output from the cosmos and use planetary orbits to find planets outside of our Solar System.Usually HeldMon Wed 11:10am–12:35pm, Mon Wed 9:35am–11:00am
