ASTRO 801
Planets, Stars, Galaxies, and the Universe

Summary

PrintPrint

Cosmology is a challenging topic. No single lesson can really do the topic justice, but you should have at least a foundation now that you can use if you do follow-up reading on your own. Discoveries related to dark energy may continue to happen in the next few years, so you may want to keep an eye out for those, in particular.
