PH 141 - The Stellar Universe

(3.00 cr.)

The life of stars is discussed: how they are born, how they mature, how they die-sometimes with a bang and sometimes with a whimper. Pulsars, quasars, and black holes. Galaxies, cluster of galaxies. Cosmology, or how the universe began, if it did, and how it will end, if it will. Fulfills one math/science core requirement. Closed to students who have taken PH 120 or PH 140 .
