Astronomy is one of the oldest sciences and is a great hobby that is beautiful, majestic and one that ignites your curiosity. In this class, we will learn some basic concepts in astronomy that will help you get started on a very fulfilling hobby. We will start with some theoretical aspects of astronomy and understand how the night (and even day) sky works. Then, we will have a "simulated" observation session where we will learn how to identify some of the famous constellations, look at some planets and maybe even some nebulae and galaxies!
