This course takes you onto an exciting journey into the last frontier, space, and to explore the universe. The course covers the formation of the universe, galaxies, stars and planets including mysterious black holes, dark matter and the fate of the universe.

The most recent discoveries made by satellites, the Hubble Space Telescope and Webb Telescope are all a part of the course.
