Course Description
This is an honors level course that challenges students with capstone analysis, evaluation, and creativity. Students are required to complete honors capstone assignments in each semester of the course, involving research, creation, and/or the extensive use of multimedia.


Is it possible to fall into a black hole? Will the Sun ever stop shining? Since the first glimpse of the night sky, humans have been fascinated with the stars and planets that surround us. This course will introduce students to astronomy by building science skills to study the Earth, the solar system, the stars, the Milky Way, and the universe beyond. It is designed to inspire the student's interest in one of the oldest science fields, dating back to ancient times. Additional topics include the Big Bang, the evolution of galaxies, the life cycles of stars, the expanding universe, and the latest technologies of modern astronomy. Ad astra!
