EVENT DETAILS
Our place in space and how we have come to this understanding, are the foundations on which this course is built. We will explore the tools and laws of nature astronomers use to construct our model and understanding of the cosmos—both its structure and components. From this informed foundation, we will address the fundamental question of are we alone within this context of our place in space.
