Why is astronomy a good career?

Why work in the astronomy field? The field of astronomy offers unique opportunities related to a variety of fascinating subjects, like the elements of deep space or the ever-present question of extraterrestrial life. Professionals within astronomy have the ability to conduct research and test out their theories.

Is an astronomy lab hard?

Not hard. What you probably will learn probably won’t help you much with harder physics and astronomy classes later. But it may fill a few holes in your knowledge.

Why should Astronomy be taught in schools?

Astronomy, if properly taught, can promote rational thinking, and an understanding of the nature of science, through examples drawn from the history of science, and from present issues such as pseudo-science. Astronomy can be used to illustrate many concepts of physics, such as gravitation, light, and spectra.

What is it like to work as an astrophysicist?

One of the really nice things about working in astrophysics rather than other areas of the physical sciences is that there are lots of people who are interested in what you do just because of natural curiosity.

Why don’t people take time to think about big galaxies?

I will list the reasons why most people don’t usually take some of their time to think about up there: People aren’t familiar with the measures of distance or quantity of space. The closest big galaxy to us is Andromeda and it is more than 2 million light years away. The problem is that we can’t put that in any meaningful perspective.

Could physics and astronomy be taught together in school?

I like to think that it could. Astronomy is usually taught in the first years of school when kids are too young to have a good understanding about the subject. First of all, Astronomy and Physics go together. You can’t study the first without the second.

Why do people forget to look up in space?

People forget to look up. I will list the reasons why most people don’t usually take some of their time to think about up there: People aren’t familiar with the measures of distance or quantity of space. The closest big galaxy to us is Andromeda and it is more than 2 million light years away.
