PTYS 206 emphasizes the part of the universe that is within reach of direct human experience and exploration.
We will review current understanding of the contents of our Solar System and emphasize the processes that unite all of the planets and smaller bodies, such as tectonics, weathering, cratering, differentiation, and the evolution of oceans and atmospheres. The course will build on this knowledge to understand humankind=s motivation to explore beyond our Solar System, especially to search for planets around distant stars and to look or listen for evidence of life elsewhere in the Universe.
PtyS 206 is a Tier II Natural Science course in the University's general education curriculum.
All sections meet in Space Sciences 308 (map available).
