HET602 (AST80005) - Exploring the Solar System
This semester, S1-2017, I'm teaching AST80005, Exploring the Solar System. In this subject we'll be introduced to our solar neighbourhood and learn about terrestrial planets, giant planets, minor bodies and the Sun. We'll discuss the principles of celestial motion and planetary astronomy; gain an understanding and appreciation of night sky observing and celestial phenomena; understand our place in the solar neighbourhood; and also touch on the social implications of planetary research.
