Comets and quasars, black holes and the big bang, pulsars and planets all feature in the media and excite people to find out more - astronomy might be described as the popular face of modern science. In the UK, recent changes in Advanced Level (A-level) physics courses mean that many students have the option of studying astrophysics to a depth beyond the merely descriptive. This option is proving popular with teachers and students, but presents particular challenges shared by few other areas of A-level physics courses.
