    Course Programs in Astronomy

    Planets, asteroids, comets, stars, nebulae, star clusters, galaxies and phenomena originating outside Earth's atmosphere are the topics of study in some Astronomy courses. But it's not just theoretical understanding: many Astronomy courses have hands-on elements, showing the practical, technical side to Astronomical research. Whether it’s the creation and operation of space vehicles, the design and construction of high-powered telescopes, or imaging and analysis of celestial objects light-years away from us, Astronomy courses will provide the essential knowledge that is the basis for practical skills.

    The Astronomy courses offered here may last for a range of days to months and concentrate in one or more of the key areas of observational astronomy, which are based on their technical methodology, including radio, infrared, optical, ultraviolet, x-ray or gamma-ray. Astronomy courses may also touch on Theoretical Astronomy, which deals with stellar dynamics, galaxy formation, general relativity and astroparticle physics.
