This class will take you on a grand tour of the solar system, from Mercury and the moons of Saturn, to asteroids and comets. How did such a diversity of worlds come to be? Like space detectives, we will follow the clues and try to unravel the secrets of the solar system’s formation and evolution.

This course is a pre-requisite for the Museum’s Science Research Mentoring Program (SRMP), funded by NASA under Grant No. NNX09AL36G. The course is offered free-of-charge under this grant.
