Description
Class Experience
Since the discovery of the first exoplanet PSR B1257+12, the search for planets outside of our Solar System has yielded thousands of incredible alien worlds. While it’s still unknown if any are suitable for life, detection methods and chemical analyses have allowed astronomers to better understand extrasolar systems. In this 4 week class, students will learn about current detection methods, the different types of exoplanets, and how scientists determine the atmospheric chemical composition....
