From the basics of astronomy and stargazing, to the science behind the birth of a star, 'In the Night Sky: Orion' is a four week course will change the way you see the night sky. You’ll examine one of the most famous constellations, Orion, who the Ancient Greeks believed was a huntsman placed among the stars by Zeus himself.
The course explores the seven brightest stars that make up this constellation, including the supergiants Rigel and Betelgeuse, using high-quality images from telescopes such as the Hubble Space Telescope. It also looks at exoplanets, planets that orbit other stars just as we orbit the Sun, the Milky Way, the galaxy of which our solar system is but one small part, and finally delves into the history of the universe from the Big Bang to the present.
