Great Achievements: Astronomy

There are no scheduled sessions at this time. Sign up to be notified when this course is available.

In the book by Charles Murray titled Human Accomplishments, the author covers different fields, selecting 20 geniuses in each field. This course will focus on the field of Astronomy. It will be a journey from antiquity to the 17th century C.E. In that time frame we will visit some strange and fascinating places and meet some equally strange and fascinating great achievers in astronomy. Some of these individuals will, at least by name, be familiar like Copernicus and Galileo, while others may be complete strangers. They all made important contributions to astronomy but their contributions, environments and personal lives are not very well known. This course will cover those aspects.
