About

Hello! We'll be exploring the surface of astronomy via ten classes and become astronomers soon enough! from the science behind stars to black holes; we'll be travelling throughout the universe and exploring its intricate nature!

there are no prerequisites (except math ~ algebra) only a passion for learning!

I'll be reteaching this class sometime during December so stay tuned <3
