  <pre>Take a journey through fascinating outer worlds that lay beyond the earth's sphere. Course Overview: * Look at the broad picture of our surroundings and place Earth and our planetary system in context with the Universe. * Learn why we need the stars to know our location and time of day, even in our modern world. * Find out why the Sun appears to go around the Earth along a steady path through the constellations of the Zodiac; learn that the changing seasons are caused by the tilt of the Earth&#915;&#199;&#214;s axis and the rate at which the Sun heats the ground. * Investigate the history of the constellations and star names and how it reflects the history of the western world, and brings us into closer touch with our forebearers. * Consider the depth of the Moon&#915;&#199;&#214;s contribution to life and culture on Earth&#915;&#199;&#246;a profound part of our folklore and our means to count the days. * Consider the seven moving bodies of the sky (Sun, Moon, and five &#915;&#199;&#163;ancient&#915;&#199;&#165; planets) and how they are reflected in the seven days of the week, the seven colors of the rainbow, and the Seven Sisters of Taurus. * Understand the importance of gravity in the Universe. Learn how Newton&#915;&#199;&#214;s formulations help us predict planetary positions, launch spacecraft, and find the masses of everything from the Earth to distant galaxies. * Discover why energy in the Universe is transmitted mostly by radiation, which warms the day, cools the night, and allows us to see the stars. * Understand physical astronomy: the science in which we reach out to learn the real natures of the planets. * Ponder Earth as the paradigm for all the other inner planets. * Voyage to the two giant planets of the Solar System, Jupiter and Saturn. * Explore Uranus and Neptune&#915;&#199;&#246;close twins with the distinct exception of their axial tilts. * Investigate the Solar System&#915;&#199;&#214;s leftovers of planetary formation -- comets and asteroids. * Understand how the accumulated data on the Solar System provides profound information on how the planets were created from the dust of outer space.
