Overview
This course introduces the basics of the Hertzsprung-Russell Diagram, a fundamental tool for analyzing the properties of stars. By the end of the course, learners will understand the observational properties of stars, the significance of the H-R Diagram, and the classification of stars based on spectral classes. The teaching method is through a 16-minute video lecture. This course is intended for individuals interested in astronomy and stellar classification.
