First week of classes

Greetings everyone!

What a great first week of class. I am really enjoying all of your critical questions and the thinking that comes with such questions. We went through some basic fasts about astronomy, the Earth (e.g., time, seasons, etc.) and distance. We have begun to explore a simple question: How did the Solar System form. We will spend a few weeks on this topic. I will be posting another assignment in the next day or two, so please return to the blog.
