A really nice course for someone pursuing astronomy or likes to know more about the cosmos. Really expands one's knowledge of the universe.
Very exciting, strong structured course, The most difficult materials in a simplified and exciting declamation. Great lecturer .
excellent course! at last a teacher that explains the universe in plain English in a way that can be understood by most.
The is the first time I have rated a course with 5 stars, but this one is worth it. I audited and did not take the exams, but I thoroughly enjoyed the lectures and I learned a lot.
