Khan Academy Courses

MIT course of study of physical effects in the vicinity of a black hole as a basis for understanding general relativity, astrophysics, and elements of cosmology.

This Yale University Course focuses on three particularly interesting areas of astronomy that are advancing very rapidly: Extra-Solar Planets, Black Holes, and Dark Energy. Particular attention is paid to current projects that promise to improve our understanding significantly over the next few years. The course explores not just what is known, but what is currently not known, and how astronomers are going about trying to find out.
