Welcome aboard the USS Kepler! During the next eight weeks, we will be exploring this big, beautiful universe of ours! The itinerary of our voyage allows, after a brief look at a few key physical principles and the history of their development, a look at the cosmos on an increasingly large scale. Our journey will begin with a detailed study of our solar system as well as a discussion of planetary systems around other stars that are being discovered almost daily. From there, we'll examine the nature of stars how they are born, live, and die, and how they constitute the fundamental building blocks of one of the most important cosmic structures, the galaxy. This study of galaxy formation and evolution will lead us into a brief exploration of the current research in cosmology, including the as-of-yet undiscovered nature of dark energy and dark matter. We've reserved you a seat aboard our shuttle, so let's prepare to launch!
