Space Science

The Solar System is our local neighborhood in space, comprising our closest star, the Sun, along with the matter and radiation that surround it. The origins of the Solar System, its rich diversity and extreme environments, its dynamic nature and its impact upon the evolution and the fate of life on Earth provide some of the compelling themes of Seminars on Science's newest course.
