What does it really mean to “observe” a star? This course trains you to think like an observational astronomer, moving from intuition to first-principles reasoning about starlight and stellar matter. You will build a coherent picture of stellar physics by following real observational clues and turning data into explanations.

Microservices are a great approach for building software at scale. But although the ideas at the root of microservices may sound simple, this is not a simple approach. There are several big traps along the way, and it's important to avoid them...

What does it really mean to “observe” the Universe? This course trains you to think like an observational astronomer, moving from intuition to first-principles reasoning about light and matter, plus interactions between them. You will build a coherent picture of astrophysics by following real observational clues and turning data into explanations.
