Astronomy 161, Introduction to the Solar System, is the first quarter of a 2-quarter introductory Astronomy for non-science majors taught at The Ohio State University. This podcast presents audio recordings of Professor Richard Pogge's lectures from his Autumn Quarter 2007 class. All of the lectures were recorded live in 1000 McPherson Laboratory on the OSU Main Campus in Columbus, Ohio.
Richard Pogge hosts Astronomy 161 - Introduction to Solar System Astronomy - Autumn 2007, a education show with 49 episodes published.
A new podcast, Astronomy 141, Life in the Universe, is available for those interested in continuing an exploration of topics in modern astronomy.
Are we alone in the Universe? This lecture explores the question of how we might go about finding life on planets around other stars. Rather than talking about speculative ideas, like the Drake Equation or SETI, I am ins
Are there planets around other stars? Are there Earth-like planets around other stars? Do any of those harbor life? Intelligent life? We'd like to know the answers to all of these questions, and in recent years we've mad
Comets are chance visitors from the icy reaches of the outer Solar System. In this lecture I describe the properties of comets, their historical importance, and introduce the "dirty snowball" model of a comet nucleus. At
Beyond the orbit of Neptune lies the realm of the icy worlds, ranging in size from Neptune's giant moon Triton and the dwarf planets Pluto and Eris, all the way down to the nuclei of comets a few kilometers across. This
Asteroids are the leftover rocky materials from the formation of the Solar System that reside primarily in a broad belt between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. This lecture reviews the physical and orbital properties of
All Jovian planets have rings. We are most familiar with the bright, spectacular rings of Saturn, but the other Jovian planets have rings systems around them. This lecture describes the different ring systems and their p
Saturn is attended by a system of 60 known moons and bright, beautiful rings. Today we will explore the moons of Saturn. Among the highlights are Saturn's lone giant moon, Titan, the 2nd largest moon in the Solar System
Jupiter has its own personal solar system in miniature of 63 known moons. Most are tiny, irregular bodies that are a combination of captured asteroids and comets, but it is the 4 largest, the giant Galilean Moons: Io, Eu
The Ice Giants Uranus and Neptune are the outermost major planets of our Solar System. Internally they small rocky cores surrounded by deep, slushy ice mantles and shallow hydrogen atmospheres, quite unlike the massive c
The Gas Giants Jupiter and Saturn are the largest planets in the Solar System. Internally they are deep, heavy Hydrogen/Helium atmospheres on top of dense rock/ice cores without solid surfaces. What we see in our telesco
Having completed our tour of the Terrestrial Planets, we want to step back and compare their properties. In particular, we will wi review the processes that drive the evolution of their surfaces, their interiors, and the
Mars is a cold desert planet with a thin, dry carbon-dioxide atmosphere. The geology of Mars, however, shows signs of an active past, with hot-spot volcanism, and tantalizing signs of ancient water flows. While a cold, d
Venus, the second planet from the Sun, is perpetually veiled behind opaque clouds of sulfuric acid droplets atop a hot, heavy, carbon dioxide atmosphere. In size and apparent composition, however, it is a near twin-siste
Mercury, innermost of the planets, is a hot, dead world that has been heavily battered by impacts. In this lecture I review the properties of Mercury, its orbit, rotation, surface, and interior structure. Recorded 2007 N
How did the Solar System form? In this lecture I review the clues for the formation of the solar system in the present-day dynamics (orbital and rotation motions) and compositions of the planets and small bodies. I then
Welcome to the Solar System! We begin our exploration of the Solar System with an overview of the planets, moons, and small bodies that make up our home system. In this lecture I'll introduce many of the themes that will
What physical processes have shaped the Moon? In this lecture, I describe the surface features of the Moon (the Maria and Highlands), how crater density tells us the relative ages of terrains, and what we have learned ab
What is the composition and structure of the Earth's atmosphere? Why is it as warm as it is, and how did it form? Today I will describe the composition and structure of the atmosphere, the Greenhouse Effect, the Primordi
What is the interior structure of the Earth? We will start our exploration of the Solar System with our home planet Earth. This lecture discusses the interior structure of the Earth, introducing the idea of differentiati
