ReadyDiscover the universe from scratch, no prior science background required. You will learn what stars and galaxies are, how astronomers study them, and how to interpret basic sky observations and stellar data.
4 modules · Teacher: Professor Lyra
Level 200
LockedBuild on your foundational knowledge to explore how stars are born, live, and die, and how galaxies are structured and measured. You will apply core astrophysical concepts to trace the life cycles of stars and analyze the components of different galaxy types.
Unlocks when the previous course is complete.
Level 300
LockedApply advanced astrophysical principles to real observational data and current research topics. You will analyze galaxy interactions, active galactic nuclei, and large-scale structure, and practice the data-interpretation skills used by professional astronomers.
Unlocks when the previous course is complete.
Level 400
LockedSynthesize everything you have learned to engage with cutting-edge topics in cosmology and galaxy formation theory. You will produce a portfolio-quality independent research project that demonstrates expert command of stellar and galactic astrophysics.
