Topics also studied by theoretical astrophysicists include Solar System formation and evolution; stellar dynamics and evolution; galaxy formation and evolution; magnetohydrodynamics; large-scale structure of matter in the universe; origin of cosmic rays; general relativity and physical cosmology, including string .
Astronomers study planets, stars, galaxies, and other celestial bodies.
They use ground-based equipment, such as radio and optical telescopes, and space-based equipment, such as the Hubble Space Telescope..
Astronomers study the origin and structure of the universe, including its planets, stars, galaxies and black holes..
Astronomy helps us approach the big questions
It is concerned with the evolution, physics, chemistry, meteorology, and motion of celestial objects, as well as the formation and development of the universe.” One of the most important aspects of astronomy is its ability to help us understand our place in the universe..
Topics also studied by theoretical astrophysicists include Solar System formation and evolution; stellar dynamics and evolution; galaxy formation and evolution; magnetohydrodynamics; large-scale structure of matter in the universe; origin of cosmic rays; general relativity and physical cosmology, including string .
Astronomy degrees typically last three or four years at undergraduate level and one or two years at master's level, depending on the location.
Teaching will usually be based around lectures, discussion sessions and practical seminars, including work in observatories..
In RSO Astronomy 1, the major topics include scientific modeling, solar system, space, physics of light, space travel, cosmology, the universe, and gravity..
Astronomy – studies the universe beyond Earth, including its formation and development, and the evolution, physics, chemistry, meteorology, and motion of celestial objects (such as galaxies, planets, etc.) and phenomena that originate outside the atmosphere of Earth (such as the cosmic background radiation)..
