1. Equipment and instruments that explore the universe (telescopes, satellites, probes, rockets, shuttles etc.). 2. Electromagnetic spectrum and its importance in astronomy. 3. Spectroscopes and the spectrums of stars. Include information about a spectroscope, spectrums of different gases, the Doppler Effect with emphases on what a”red shift” is, and how Edwin Hubble used the” red shift” to determine stellar distance and movement. 4. Kepler’s laws of planetary motion. 5. Constellations and how they change daily, nightly, seasonally, and by latitude. 6. Star types and our Sun. 7. Absolute and apparent magnitude. 8. Star properties, life cycle of a star, and the HR diagram. 9. Nuclear processes of a star. 10. Compare and contrast structures of the universe (galaxy types, nova, black holes, neutron stars, etc.) 11. Origin of our solar system. Different viewpoints. 12. Accomplishments and contributions of past and present astronomers (Galileo, Brahe, Keper, Copernicus, Newton, Halley, Hubble, Ptolemy, Lippershey, etc.) 13. Explain the impact of Copernican and Newtonian thinking on our view of the universe. 14. Tycho Brahe and his scientific contributions. 15. Compare and contrast the inner planets and their primary moons. 16. Compare and contrast the outer planets and their primary moons. 17. Space program and the efforts to investigate the possibility of living in space and on other planets. 18. Impact of rotation and revolution on Earth and other notable planets. 19. Issac Newton, gravity, gravity equation, and how gravity governs the universe. 20. Solar and lunar eclipses. 21. Moon phases. 22. Describe and differentiate between comets, asteroids, and meteors.
