What is the probability that life exists elsewhere in the universe? What evidence do we currently have, and why should we care? In this class, we will explore recent findings that point to a high prevalence of exoplanet Earth analogs, and the implications for the scientific community and general population.

What if you wanted to build your own planet? What kinds of materials would you need? What type of conditions would be best? And, if you wanted to live on it, how could you make it habitable? In this class, we'll explore these questions, and design planets of our own!

Science and art may seem to have little in common, but lots of scientific phenomena are beautiful, and undeniably a kind of art. We will talk about fractals, particle physics, the left brain-right brain dichotomy, and much more! Students will also have a chance to create some art of their own.

Did you know that there is a supermassive black hole (SMBH) at the center of our galaxy? In fact, we now have evidence that they are at the center of most galaxies in the universe. This class will be focused on a subclass of SMBH, specifically active galactic nuclei (AGN) that possess bright accretion disks. We will discuss the fascinating types of AGN, and some of the most interesting AGN research currently being conducted.
