It literally doesn't matter which of the three PH 20X courses I take; they are not required to be taken in order, and I only need one of the three to hit the last of the sciences for my BS requirements. I have a minor preference for PH 205 Solar System Astronomy, which is why I registered for that one, but the professor who was supposed to be teaching all three has emailed all the students signed up for PH 205 this fall to say it's canceled, pick 206 or 207 in fall or wait till winter for 205. I don't feel like screwing up my nice neat 10-credit-per-term plan, is all, and the only course I can swap out of winter term is WGSS 270 Violence Against Women which is three credits where the three astronomy courses are each four.

But thank fuck the same text is/was assigned for all three courses. I already bought it.

ETA: POLL CLOSED. Stars and Stellar Evolution, here I come. :-D

Sorry, I'm useless in this decision making process. I am thinking "WHY NOT ALL THE THINGS" and facepalming because I know that doesn't work.

I took some astronomy in college to fill a similar gap. It was super fun. The stellar evolution course was definitely the easier A, but the galaxies and quasars course (or rough equivalent thereof) was definitely the more mind-blowing wonder-inducing fun.

...now I have that song in my head.
