Astronomy Courses taught for Montgomery College

Astronomy courses are also offered in the planetarium. Would you like to explore how stars are formed, know what a black hole is and where one might be located, find out what a neutron star is, find out what the sun is composed of, find out how the elements were formed, find out how and when the earth was formed, or learn the names of some of the constellations and the names of the brightest stars in them?  If you would like to find out about these things, maybe you should consider taking T AS101, Introduction to Astronomy at Montgomery College, Takoma Park . Montgomery College at Takoma Park is the only place in the Washington Metro area that you can take a college astronomy course from within a planetarium.  The tuition is very affordable.  It is the best education bargain around. If you do not need this course as a transferable lab science in your curricula consider auditing it for the knowledge that you will learn, the fun that you will have, and the greater appreciation for the universe that you will acquire.  Senior citizens can register for this course for less than the cost of the text book on a space available basis one week before classes start. T AS101 is offered in the planetarium on Tuesday and Thursday from 7-9:45P.M. It is offered beginning in the winter/spring semester in late January through middle of May. What if you want to learn about astronomy, but your job or other activities keep you from attending the Tuesday and Thursday evening 7-9:45P.M. classes. You can take AS101 by taking a distance learning course using the computer and browser that you are using to view this page. You can learn about the universe in a way that will fit your schedule.  All test are taken on-line.  Assignments are turned in via the web, too. See M AS101, Introduction to Astronomy via distance learning course syllabus,  please note this is not a watered down easy telecourse, but a serious college course for people that can prioritize.  This distance learning course is harder than the traditional class that meets twice a week; it is very easy to fall behind in a distance course.
