Astronomy and Astrophysics - YEAR 10 (a semester elective unit) Subject Description Astronomy and Astrophysics have, and continue to, play an important part in human life. From the earliest civilisations Astronomy was used as a way to predict seasons and to measure the passage of time. In modern times Astrophysics is being used to probe the origins of the universe and extra terrestrial life in addition to helping us understand our place in the universe. The Astronomy and Astrophysics course will cover the history of Astronomy with an emphasis on the development of scientific theories of the universe, how new observations have challenged previous scientific theories and led to our current understanding of the structure of the universe. The course will also cover: Astronomical coordinates and distances, using star maps to find objects in the night sky, the lifecycle of stars and the formation of solar systems, galaxies, the expanding universe and redshift, Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation and recent research in the area of Astrophysics.

In his Theogony he attempts to explain creation, and all that surrounds us, using myth. Hesiod anthropomorphizes the cosmos. He tells of “Chaos” being the first to come into being, then he goes on to describe how each of the gods of the cosmos comes in to being.

Historically, astronomy has included disciplines as diverse as astrometry, celestial navigation, observational astronomy and the making of calendars, but professional astronomy is nowadays often considered to be synonymous with astrophysics. During the 20th century, the field of professional astronomy split into observational and theoretical branches. Observational astronomy is focused on acquiring data from observations of astronomical objects, which is then analyzed using basic principles of physics. Theoretical astronomy is oriented toward the development of computer or analytical models to describe astronomical objects and phenomena.
"Not only the day but the hour too," Sri Prahlada said.
