This course is to introduce various phenomena in astronomy with brief and comprehensive descriptions.  Through the semester, we will cover basic concepts about structures on large and small scales related to galaxies, including Milky Way and galaxies, and the solar system as well as the origin of planetary systems and exoplanet.  Students must have basic skills in Physics and Mathematics at high school level.  This course is cross-listed as a breath requirement course.

這門課是入門且易於理解的方式介紹天文學中的各種現象。在這一個學期內，我們將涵蓋一些極大尺度與小尺度的結構如本銀河系與其他星系、太陽系與系外行星系統。學生須具備高中程度的物理與數學基礎才能選修。這門課也並列為通識課程。
