Using Astropy for Astronomy With Python

This course covers two problems from introductory astronomy to help you play with some Python libraries. You’ll use Astropy, NumPy, Matplotlib, and pandas to find planet conjunctions, and graph the best viewing times for a star.

In this course you’ll learn about:

• Astronomy concepts of conjunction and optimal viewing
• The Python package Astropy
• Using pandas to process data
• Building graphs with Matplotlib
• Python’s warning module
