We learn the basics of astronomy by exploring our solar system and neighbouring stars and planets. We look at the theories of how stars and planets form and how these change as astronomers discover planets around stars other than our Sun. We also examine some of the basic techniques used to find new planets in our universe. Includes a visit to the Institute of Astronomy (2.4km, c.30 mins walk, or c.20 mins bus/walk).
