  1. The final is one week from yesterday • Same format as prelims, but longer • 7-9:30pm, Wednesday night, in Baker Lab • Bring #2 pencils, erasers, etc. • Please consider donating your textbook • Thanks for a great semester! • Always feel free to email (or visit) me with any astronomy or planetary science questions

  2. You should review: • Lecture notes • Textbook (assigned reading) • Homework • Prelims • Practice prelims Review sessions: Mon, Tues, 2-3:30, SSB 105

  3. Yes, there is a lecture on Friday • Prof. Squyres talking about life in the Universe • Last chance to hand in Planet Walk extra credit assignment • Also, it’s a scheduled day of class

  7. Part 1: General concepts about the Solar System • Celestial Sphere • Sidereal vs. synodic days • Seasons • Phases of the Moon • Tides • Kepler’s laws • Spectra • Eclipses

  8. Part 2: The inner Solar System • Mercury, Venus, Earth, the Moon, Mars • Interiors (including seismology) • Surfaces (impacts, volcanism, tectonics, erosion) • Atmospheres (including compositions) • Climate and climate change (Earth and Mars) • The Greenhouse Effect

  9. Part 3: Small bodies and the outer Solar System • Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune (sizes, similarities, differences, interiors, atmospheres) • Asteroids, comets, meteorites • Pluto and the trans-Neptunian region • Jovian satellites (including the Galilean satellites) • Ice giants vs. gas giants • Impacts • Rings • Resonance and tidal heating

  10. Part 4: Origins • Solar system formation • Planet formation • The Sun • Exoplanets • Exobiology • Life in the Universe
