This semester-long elective is comprised of two parts – astronomy and rocketry. In the astronomy component students will observe and record digital images of celestial objects and explore the quest to discover extraterrestrial life. The College‘s two large portable telescopes together with the new robotic observatory telescope will be used by students to probe the wonders of the night sky and undertake observing projects.
