Astrophysics

Introduction to Astronomy covers an introductory astronomy textbook, from solar system motions, through stellar evolution and galaxies, to relativity and cosmology.
Astronomy (at least at Siena) is very Carl Sagan-centric, with "Cosmos" videos almost every day, and various quotes repeated over and over, such as...
- "In order to make apple pie from scratch, you must first create the universe."
- "Crumbly, but good."
- "He had a...zest for experimentation."
- "Our planet, our society, everything around us is star stuff."
