This course aims at helping students to review the major concepts and methods of selected topics in the NSS Physics Elective: "Astronomy and Space Science". Topics include oribital motion and gravity, observation and studies of stars, Doppler effect and its application in modern astronomy. Students will gain hands-on experience of solving problems related to these topics as well as gaining new perspectives in modern astronomy beyond those covered the NSS syllabus.
本課程旨在協助學生重溫新高中物理選修部分:「天文學與太空科學」之部分課題。主要課題包括引力軌道運動、恆星的觀測和研究,多普勒效應及其在現在天文學的應用等。學生將會嘗試解決相關問題,進而了解一些在新高中課程以外的現代天文知識,以開拓視野。
