Welcome to Modern Astrophysics!

Welcome to Modern Astrophysics! During class on Tuesday, we will do a lot of things:

• Discuss the Big Questions and how astronomy attempts to answers some of them.
• Review the syllabus and schedule for PHY 313.
• Use Stellarium to answer the question "What planets are visible tonight?"

If we have time during class, I also will be asking you to fill out a short survey so I can get to know a little bit more about you. If we don't have time, please do this before the next class on Thursday. The survey can be accessed here:
