Overview
The Athletic Development - A Psychological Perspective programme from The Open University UK encompasses two broad themes of ‘Stars and Galaxies’ and ‘Multiwavelength Astronomy’. Starting from cosmic length scales, learn how astronomers measure the Universe – through spectroscopy, imaging and time-variability.
You’ll learn about the constituents of stars and galaxies, and study their formation, evolution and rebirth through energetic processes.
To finish, revisit the Universe from the perspective of cosmic time scales. Throughout, alongside astronomy, you’ll develop your computing, maths and physics skills.
What's included
We’ll provide the study materials, study guide, activities, assignments, forums, online tutorial rooms and other resources, via a dedicated website.
