This introductory astronomy course teaches you how to use math and observations to unlock the mysteries of the universe.
What you'll learn
Learn how to calculate the size of the solar system.
Learn how to calculate the size and distance to the moon.
Learn how Newton discovered the Universal Law of Gravity.
Learn how people realized the Earth moved around the Sun.
Requirements
No pre-requisites, but it is helpful to have a basic understanding of multiplication and fractions.
Description
Newton's Universal Law of Gravity was an incredible achievement. But he based his work on Galileo and Kepler, and they based their work on Copernicus. Copernicus based his work on the Ancient Greeks. If you truly want to understand HOW Newton discovered the laws of gravity, and how the moon, not the apple was the key, then this is the perfect course for you. This is a perfect course for people who are interested in astronomy, stargazing, or history.
We take a step by step approach to explain how we got to Newton. Basic Space Science Part I covers astronomy's incredible journey from about 10,000 BC to 0.
This course starts at the beginning with the basic observations all astronomers can see. We then gently add some math to help us unravel, step by step, the key mysteries in the universe.
You'll learn
how to prove:
the shape of the Earth,
the size of the Earth,
the size of the Moon,
the distance to the Moon,
the distance to the Sun, and
and the size of the Sun.
In part II we'll continue our journey by:
Determining the correct order of the planets,
Discovering how planets really move,
Determining the size of the solar system,
and figuring out how the moon unlocked the secret to gravity.
Who this course is for:
People who love science, astronomy, and history.
Parents that want to nurture their children's natural love of space.
