PHYS 130 - Astronomy PHYS 130 - Astronomy (3,2) 4 Credits General Education Course: Science (lab) This is an introductory course in astronomy that tells a scientific story of the universe.

Topics include the origin and evolution of the solar system, the birth and death of stars, black holes, galaxies, and the structure, properties, and expansion of the universe as a whole. The course has a lab component. It may be used to fulfill one semester of a laboratory science requirement for non-science majors, or as an elective for science majors. Course link
