Overview
This course explores the process of star formation in the Orion constellation through observations made by space telescopes like Hubble, Spitzer, and Herschel. The learning outcomes include understanding the origins of stars and the role of young stellar objects in our galaxy. The course covers topics such as galaxy dynamics, planetary atmospheres, different types of light observations, and specific objects in the Orion Nebula. The teaching method involves a recorded live session with Dr. Frank Summers at the Space Telescope Science Institute. This course is intended for individuals interested in astronomy, star formation, and space exploration.
