Astro 101

I really like to study about universe ,Thank you Coursera Excellent course, gives a lot of knowledge and understanding about space, could have included a little more math Good course, it introduced me to the black hole theory in a easy way.

Course covers all the bases, both from the very basic notions, with suitable introductory material on things like how one determines the composition of a star from spectra, to the physics that allows one to understand the recent image of a black hole(without this course one might think photographing a black hole to be impossible.We now understand the time dilation effects of approaching a black hole and how one can do so safely.Fascinating stuff I have just completed one module and besides black holes I have also learned other concepts for my general knowledge as to refresh concepts before proceeding to black hole.

:) Keep it up Very good content and helpful in understanding the concepts of black hole without any confusion.

With professors who can shrink astronomical distances and explain concepts in time, space and cosmology with such lucidity and more importantly joy, this course was bound to be one ,which in literal sense, has transformed the black hole into a living vibrant entity.

Very simple course, but in not mathematical words explain, how to born, live and died Black Holes.

Excellent course providing a great high level overview of the current science of black hole physics.

All of you have guided me wonderfully to understand and pass the course on Black Holes.

Great lectures, amazing science about the mysterious and fascinating black holes and not too impossible quizzes (unlike other Astronomy courses here in Coursera that have impossible quizzes).

Black holes are amazing and wonderful things to contemplate.

Great work by a great team, the Black Holes 101 course makes me want to learn more.

The complex almost irrational circumstances around black holes brought in a manner that is surprisingly clear and digestible.

The world of black holes is after the course even more intriguing and fascinating.

Suitable for people aged 18 to 24 who want to learn about black holes (at an introductory level).Suitable for first year University students who took courses in Mathematics, Physics or Astronomy.Suitable for amateur astronomers who want to gain knowledge about black holes and the life cycles of stars.The lectures are enthusiastic and the course format is easy to follow.

Learned a lot about black holes which weren't even mentioned in my astronomy books when I first started being interested in astronomy when I was a boy as my dad (a former RAF navigator taught me to find my way round the sky) Interestingly enough the clip of the train demonstrating the Doppler effect was shot at Brandon - one of his "targets" during his training a Rivers Manitoba in 1942!A great course which really stimulated the old grey cells and as far as I can say to be highly recommended!John H Almost perfect.

I've always wanted to learn about black holes and this was a great opportunity to get up to date knowledge from the top experts in the field, presented in an interactive and easily understand way for non-scientists One of the best courses on Coursera about Astronomy.

Pretty technical, though An engaging and highly entertaining course with excellent animation and presentation I am truly delighted for a very high quality course about black holes.

It's gotten me developing my own theory about black holes and I am so sad that it's over.
