WELCOME TO YOUR "WINDOW ON THE UNIVERSE" - ASTR 201 for Fall'07 will carry you from terrestrial labs to the origin of the universe 13.7 billion years ago. For now, check out the syllabus below and don't miss the first action-packed class at 1PM on Tuesday, 28 August in Herman Brown Hall Rm. 227.

BOOK UPDATE (09/10/07) The bookstore called and they just got 50 copies of Cosmic Perspective 4th Edition STARS GALAXIES AND COSMOLOGY (with the media update...our course ID is RICEASTR201F07).
