PHY 116 - Cosmos

3 Cr.

An introductory, interdisciplinary course which studies the essence of astronomical knowledge as a product of man’s application of the ‘Copernican Principle.’ The interplay between science and cultural beliefs and how philosophical and religious beliefs have enhanced or conflicted with scientific principles is discussed. Human activity on Earth and its implication on ecology are compared to other planetary ecologies. Stellar evolution including star birth, Main Sequence stage and stellar demise is discussed with sun as a model star. Recent astronomical findings by many space probes including the Hubble Space Telescope are discussed. Meets SUNY General Education requirement for Natural Sciences (N) (Usually offered Fall and Spring semesters.)
