Description:
Next Steps in astronomy and stargazing
In this course, we take you on from the beginner course continuing your astronomy learning journey and delve a little deeper into the subject of astronomy (we recommend that you have taken our beginner course before booking for the 'next steps').
We cover:- The solar system – the players and their composition, astronomical terms and abbreviations, our star the Sun, exploring what is a sunspot Where do solar flares come from What causes the Northern lights.
Galaxies – Hubble’s law, the basics. We will look at relative velocities (red shifts) of faraway galaxies and how to estimate their distances from the Earth.
We check out using Stellarium and other software and fine tune your observation skills – Some tips and techniques that will make your observing easier and more pleasurable.
You will also have the option to carry on your learning with guided modules and projects if you have really caught the astronomy bug!
