The main outcome of this course is to build on the knowledge gained at Level 1 in a more formal and in-depth way. Further exploration of the major themes of astronomy, astrophysics and cosmology will be combined with the very latest astronomy information. During the course you will learn about:
- Astrochemistry, astrobiology and planetary geology: the ‘life’ relationship.
- Observing techniques in astronomy, optical, radio, infra-red and other wavelengths, stellar spectroscopy and spectral shift.
- The universe time scale and eventual fate, missing mass, dark matter and dark energy, black hole controversies.
- Variable stars, supernovae, the behaviour of light, and how do we measure the distances to the stars...?
