I have attached the required documents to complete the assignment. You are able to select any topic from the list that is given in the instructions that you believe you can complete to the highest quality. You are expected to research your topic, not just provide a summary of the lecture notes. Astronomy is an expansive area of study, there are volumes of information readily available on the internet and textbooks; so make use of the digital age and find something novel and interesting. Each figure/diagram/table should be numbered clearly as “Figure 1, 2, 3 ...” or “Table 1, 2, 3 ...” in a logical manner with an appropriate caption. Diagrams and figures may be copied from source material, as long as they are suitably referenced.

You can write on any topic of interest related to the course, but some possible topics are listed on p2. If you wish to write on a topic not on the suggested list please email instructor (Dr Draganski) to ensure that the topic is OK. Topics should be properly researched using journals, books or online material. You are expected to be discerning in your choice of sources, i.e. not everything you read on the internet is factual. You MUST reference all sources of information. A standard citation system should be used, which identifies type (book, journal, online, video), title, authors(s), publisher (and edition if relevant) and location, and the page(s) used from your source. Online citations should include the URL. All references must be cited within the text of the essay and NOT merely written into the bibliography. Use footnotes or give references in brackets [Hawking, p37, (1988)] with the full reference in the bibliography.
