I have run an Introduction to Astronomy course for U3AC for the last few years covering the topics listed below. This year I plan to offer a set of 6 talks on miscellaneous astronomy topics. I am a frequent astronomy speaker and am always creating new talks, so I will propose a set at the start of the course and will invite the participants to let me know where their interests lie. The old course topics - Cosmology overview (including origin and evolution of the universe) - Our solar system - Stars - an overview of the life and death of stars - Galaxy types and exo-planets - Human exploration of the universe and the technology being used
