Introduction to Astronomy and Astrophysics

The lecture is equivalent to the bachelor module parts WPAstro.1+2 during the winter and summer term but requires a higher level of basic physical knowledge. 

Nevertheless, motivated 3^rd semester BSc students are also welcome to participate. 

This lecture is organized as a block course in the time Sep. 23^rd - Oct. 11^th, 2019.
