Astronomy 162Stars, Galaxies, andCosmologyIn our first semester of astronomy we were concerned primarily with our ownSolar System. In this semester we broaden our perspective and consider theentire Universe.Much of thematerial for this semester is already on the Web at theViolence in theCosmos site, but it is arranged in a different order than it will be when the followingsequence is completed.
