For thousands of years, astronomy has been a focus of scientific interest, and to this day, it remains one of the most intriguing branches of science. During this six-week course, students of any scientific background will learn about the inner workings of the stars and planets that surround us. From the lifecycle of a star to the fate of the universe, there is a lot to cover!

Space is expanding faster than light can travel, meaning that you will never be able to see the entire universe at once
