Astronomy: Observations & Theories

This series is actually a 20-episode telecourse (video-based course) produced between 2005 and 2006 by the Coast Learning Systems division of Coastline Community College, an award-winning producer of instructional media since 1973. This course supersedes their 1994 production of "Universe: The Infinite Frontier" which won an Emmy and a Finalist Award at The New York Festivals. As with all of their courses, it was developed under the supervision of a National Academic Advisory Team representing community colleges and universities from all over the United States.

These twenty 28-minute episodes (lessons) are most often viewed on college-run public television stations. College credit for courses associated with this series can be earned through enrollment at these colleges. Many college bookstores may sell the DVD set to students as required or suggested course materials.
