| This course presents, in a largely nonmathematical way, the modern Western model of the universe and explains how the components relate to each other. It emphasizes the processes that are currently thought to drive the evolution of the universe and the evidence that support the standard model. The question of how life on Earth fits into the physical universe and the requirements for the existence of life other than on Earth are also explored. At the end of the course, students should be able to interpret and critique current astronomical research as presented in the popular media. | |
