Lesson 1 - Lecture 1 - Astronomy and Science - OpenStax Astronomy 2e

In this lecture, we will look at astronomy and science in general. We will take a brief look at some of the objects student and discuss the concept of scientific thought and the scientific method.

These lecture videos are designed to complement the content in the OpenStax Astronomy 2e textbook. The book can be downloaded free of charge at: https://openstax.org/details/books/as...

I can be reached with comments at [email protected]. However, classes I am teaching receive priority so I will try to respond as I can to questions.

Note: Lesson 0 materials are specific for the classes that I teach. Lesson 1 will start with Chapter 1 of the textbook.
