High school courses for Astronomy

A professional research astronomer does not merely appreciate the beauty and wonder of the objects in the sky. This is the daily challenge - to come to some sort of understanding of the basic underlying physics that gave rise to the universe and the objects in it. It is this challenge and the satisfaction gained by solving these puzzles that drew me to astronomy…

College with Astronomy Majors

The Astronomy Major is for students interested in studying astronomy in college, but not intending to go to graduate school in astronomy. This major offers students opportunities to get hands-on experience with telescopes and to work on real research projects in astronomy. Through the physics, math, and astrophysics requirements, the major also develops critical thinking…

World of Astronomy

Astronomy is a unique and cost-effective tool for furthering sustainable global development, because of its technological scientific and cultural dimensions. This plan shows how astronomy can contribute globally to education at the primary, secondary and tertiary levels and can enable less developed, poorer countries to participate in cutting-edge scientific research…

College for Cosmology

This book introduces Einstein’s general theory of relativity. Topics include the geometric formulation of special relativity, the principle of equivalence, the Einstein field equation and its spherical solution, and black holes, as well as cosmology. The subject is presented with an emphasis on physical examples and simple applications without the full tensor apparatus…

Local Observatories

We examine the potential of ICT-enabled citizen observatories to increase eParticipation. We focus in local management processes related to flood risk management. The two case studies highlight divergent roles that authorities conceive for citizens. Citizen observatories do not automatically imply higher levels of participation. Outcomes depend on the role that authorities…

College that major in Astronomy

Home > Astronomy Department The universe is a compelling laboratory. Modern astronomy is concerned with understanding the nature of the universe and the various structures — galaxies, stars, planets, atoms — within it. Astronomy is interested not only in describing these things, but in understanding how they are formed and how they change, and, ultimately…

Vietnam is the most suitable choice for creating a space port

A few years ago, a group of scientists came up with a justification for the feasibility of building an international space center in the Asia-Pacific region in order to achieve advanced innovative development of space activities. At the same time, Vietnam was recognized as the main and most acceptable, from all points of view, location for the construction of such an object, whose residents want not only to wait for the XSMB, xo so mien bac, but also to start studying astronomy from school. All this will help to bring to the country the development of space activities in cooperation with other countries.

This event would make it possible to bring Southeast Asia, including Vietnam, to the forefront of world development, while bringing serious income.

Moreover, the world's leading experts in the space industry today attach great importance to the financial return from space. Space exploration ceases to be a purely costly item of expenditure for humanity, becoming an advanced method of payback. For this reason, businessmen have been actively promoting their near-space projects recently.
