June and July Live Sessions

We'd like to continue holding live sessions, for at least 2 or 3 months, but the instructional team is doing a lot of traveling during the summer months, so we'll only have about 2 live sessions per month. We will definitely be having one tomorrow at 11AM MST/PDT (in 21.5 hours!), and we've tentatively picked some days for June and July.

These dates and times are tentative and may change! But here they are—dates for the next live sessions:
Thursday May 23rd, 11AM MST/PDT (6PM GMT/UTC)
Monday June 3rd, 11AM MST/PDT (6PM GMT/UTC)
Wednesday June 26th, 11AM MST/PDT (6PM GMT/UTC)
Thursday July 19th, 11AM MST/PDT (6PM GMT/UTC)
Some day the last week of July/first week of August

If you miss a live session, post your questions on Udemy. Chris will continue to answer questions posted to our Udemy page.

LHC on The Daily Show

One of our lectures from Section 7, the section on Cosmology, featured a clip from The Daily Show with Jon Stewart. Watch the whole segment here.


And if you enjoyed that, you'd probably also enjoy this segment about the size of the Andromeda Galaxy from the Colbert Report.
