Summary:
This course offers you a tour of the night sky and the constellations and other objects we can see in the heavens during each of the four seasons of the year. The goal is to give you a foundation for navigating the sky on your own with a pair of binoculars or a small telescope. Along the way, you will also learn about the sciences of cosmology and astronomy and a bit about the mythology of ancient peoples.
