Astronomy is a first and introductory lecture of the course on the principles of radiation astronomy.

It is the flagship lecture for the astronomy department of the school of physics and astronomy.

You are free to take this quiz at any time.

Once you’ve read and studied the lecture itself, the links contained within the lecture and listed under See also, External links, you should have adequate background to to get 100 %. Additional information that may be helpful is in the template.

Suggestion: Have the lecture available in a separate window.
