Astronomy is one of humanity’s oldest sciences, and its greatest discoveries, advancements, and technological developments tell a remarkably compelling story about our universe—and ourselves. Star catalogs, nebulae, cosmic background radiation, supernovae, and black holes. We would know nothing about any of these fascinating cosmological features were it not for the hard work and dedication of men and women from all around the world, each of whom played their own pivotal role in opening our view of the cosmos. This beginner’s astronomy Great Course is taught by Emily Levesque who is an Associate Professor in the Department of Astronomy at the University of Washington and moderated by Don Risi.
