Description

Exoplanets, or extrasolar planets are one of the newest frontiers of planetary science!  

Learners will explore what exoplanets are, how we find them, their fascinating properties, and how the discovery of these strange worlds and their solar systems is changing our understanding of planetary system formation. We will look at the composition, atmospheres, orbits, and many properties of known exoplanets.

I have an MS in Space with a concentration in planetary science.

No live meetings, and maybe some time outside of class.
