Introduction to Astronomy provides a quantitative introduction to the physics of the solar system, stars, the interstellar medium, the galaxy, and the universe, as determined from a variety of astronomical observations and models.

We in Caltech Astro host a monthly free lecture series aimed at the general public, featuring astronomy-related talks by local scientists at a non-technical level.

Understand astronomy principles for studying celestial objects and phenomena. Learn about stars, planets, galaxies, and the universe's structure. Learn from top instructors with graded assignments, videos, and discussion forums. Get in-depth knowledge of a subject by completing a series of courses and projects.

The three major topics that the course will cover are (1) exoplanets–planets around stars other than the Sun, (2) black holes–stars whose gravitational pull is so strong that even their own light rays cannot escape, and (3) cosmology–the study of the Universe as a whole. Class proper begins with a discussion on planetary orbits.

One Friday night a month, we host a free public lecture on astronomy and space science given by a member of our department. These events consist of a 30-minute science lecture, followed by an hour of guided stargazing with telescopes on the adjacent athletic fields.

Meet the Astronomer Lecture Series. Our Meet the Astronomer series features Vanderbilt experts discussing areas of research and topics of general interest. These talks are generally geared for middle school students through adults.
