About the Course
In this class, we will be studying, quite literally, everything in the universe. We will start with "classical" astronomy, describing the night sky and organizing what we see as was done in ancient times. We will then embark on a journey, starting here on Earth and progressing outward, to study the Solar system, the Milky Way galaxy, and the wonderful and strange objects we observe in deep space, such as black holes, quasars, and supernovae. We will end with some discussion of what scientists know today about the universe as a whole. Along the way we will introduce some of the methods, theoretical and experimental, that have been used to understand all of this, from Newton's laws, through our understanding of light and matter, to Einstein's theory of relativity, and from Galileo's telescope to WMAP.
Suggested Readings
There are a lot of important and interesting facts to learn about astronomy, and lectures are a very inefficient way to learn facts. It would be extremely helpful, but not absolutely necessary, to read any of the many introductory astronomy texts that are out there as you take this class and to have it handy as a reference. The Wikibook http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/General_Astronomy and Wikipedia entries for the topics mentioned in class would be quite sufficient for this purpose, as would the freely available online notes by Nick Strobel at http://www.astronomynotes.com/. In addition, I recommend downloading and installing a planetarium application for your computer. Examples of free downloads sufficient for our purposes include http://www.stellarium.org/ , http://www.astrosurf.com/c2a/ (Windows only) or http://www.ap-i.net/skychart/.
Course Format
There will be video lectures broken up into clips 8-15min. long, about three hours of video per week. There will be quizzes to go with these as well as regular homework assignments.

Galaxies and Cosmology
https://www.coursera.org/#course/cosmo
About the Course
This class is an introduction to the modern extragalactic astronomy and cosmology, i.e., the part of astrophysics that deals with the structure and evolution of the universe as a whole, and its major constituents: dark matter, dark energy, galaxies, quasars, large-scale structure, and intergalactic gas. It will cover the subjects including: relativistic cosmological models and their parameters, extragalactic distance scale, cosmological tests, composition of the universe, dark matter, and dark energy; the hot big bang, cosmic nucleosynthesis, recombination, and cosmic microwave background; formation and evolution of structure in the universe; galaxy clusters, large-scale structure and its evolution; galaxies, their properties and fundamental correlations; formation and evolution of galaxies; star formation history of the universe; quasars and other active galactic nuclei, and their evolution; structure and evolution of the intergalactic medium; diffuse extragalactic backgrounds; the first stars, galaxies, and the reionization era. It corresponds to the Ay 21 class taught at Caltech.
Course Format
The class will consist of lecture videos, which may be 20 to 30 minutes in length, and assigned readings, followed by discussions and Q&A sessions. Mini-quizzes may be embedded in these. On-line materials will be provided on the class website. The videos and the readings must be done before the corresponding discussions, which will be webcast in real time. There will be also an on-line discussion forum for informal discussions. There will be 6 to 8 standalone homeworks, a midterm, and a final exam.
