"## Learning Goals\n",
"* Learn how to instantiate `astropy.units.Quantity` objects\n",
"* Use `Quantity` objects to estimate a hypothetical galaxy's mass\n",
"* Take advantage of constants in the `astropy.constants` library\n",
"* Print formatted unit strings\n",
"* Plot `Quantity` objects with unit labels, using `astropy.visualization.quantity_support`\n",
"* Do math with `Quantity` objects\n",
"* Convert quantities with `astropy.units`\n",
"* Convert between wavelength and energy with `astropy.units.spectral` equivalencies\n",
"* Use the small angle approximation with `astropy.units.dimensionless_angles` equivalencies\n",
"* Write functions with explicit units to prevent your Mars orbiter from crashing\n",
"* Write functions that take `Quantity` objects instead of numpy arrays\n",
"* Make synthetic radio observations\n",
"* Use `Quantity` objects such as data cubes to facilitate a full derivation of the total mass of a molecular cloud\n",
