스타트렉 천문학

The Star Trek Universe incorporates many real star systems and constellations from the night sky, including many places they visit, the origins of some alien species, and some key space colonies in the series. This class explores many of these references from the Star Trek shows and movies, while also educating on the science facts of the stars and their constellations.  

For full enjoyment I recommend that learners have seen at least a few episodes of Star Trek first. (Learners who don't have much experience with Star Trek may still enjoy learning about how a fictional universe is related to real life star systems!)

This is a self-paced class. There is no live component. Instead, students explore the concepts at their own pace - and reach out to the instructor with questions and thoughts as needed. We cover 24 constellations and 42 stars in this course, spread out over four lessons (mostly organized by season). For each star, I describe its relationship to Star Trek and some interesting astronomy facts about the star in real life. Videos, pictures, and descriptions for each topic are included in a Prezi slide show format.
