Second week of classes

Greetings everyone!  On Monday I lectured on basic issues needed for the course. These issues included how astronomers measure scale, the units that are used, the seasons on Earth, what defines a year on Earth and other planets, and phases of the moon.  

In lab on Monday we performed a lab on the metric system.  I was very pleased to see you all working so hard and cooperating with each other so well.

Tomorrow we will begin our exploration of how the Solar System formed. This will take a few weeks of lecture.

See you all soon!
