The Study of Astronomical Questions with an Emphasis on Principles of Modern Physics

The word “astronomy” comes from two Greek words — one that means “star” and the other that means “to arrange.” Thus, very literally, the word astronomy means “to arrange stars.”

Understand the nature of astronomy and astrophysics, focusing on the history of the Universe, from Earth to the furthest star
Discover details about our solar system, including the sun, the terrestrial and Jovian planets, as well as the small solar system bodies
Develop a creationist perspective regarding astrophysics

"The study of the planets and stars has a powerful purpose – its purpose is to bring us closer to God. Psalm 19:1 tells us that the heavens above declare God’s glory. Psalm 8:2-8 goes further in pointing out that even though we are very tiny compared to the universe, we are very special in God’s sight. Romans 1:18-20 builds upon this, arguing that the world around us demonstrates that God exists, and is very powerful so that men are without excuse." –Dr. Danny Faulkner (from Astrophysics: An Introduction)
