Methodology/approach – Data were gathered using a questionnaire survey of PhD students and staff of the Department of Physics and Astronomy at University College London; 114 people (47.1 per cent response rate) participated in the survey. Findings – The study reveals differences among subfields of physics and astronomy in terms of information-seeking behaviour‚ highlights the need for and the value of looking at narrower subject communities within disciplines for a deeper

Introduction Galileo Galilei is considered to be the most predominant scientists during the 17th century for the astronomical discoveries that he made using a telescope. He utilized the telescope in the year of 1616. Galileo faced numerous challenges and remarkable discoveries which impacted science forever. The telescope was first invented by a Dutch eyeglass maker named Hans Lippershey in 1608‚ but it was Galileo who first commenced the astronomical discoveries by pointing the telescope towards

scheduled a tour to Nanjing University‚ known as the top university for Astronomy in China‚ to prepare future study about astrophysics. The lectures impressed me an overall prospective about Astrophysics and their enthusiasm strengthened my focus on this research area. Then I participated in a workshop hosted by National Astronomical Observatory of China (NAOC). NAOC complemented my knowledge of Technologies and Methods in Radio Astronomy which I supposed to be necessary professional skills. With the introduction

(Bartusiak). There is a lot of competition for permanent spots on the job and education opportunities and or research at colleges and universities‚ so one has to be the best in the field in order to be successful (“Academics”). The competition in astronomy careers could make it difficult to make a living and technology could become a problem if new advancements are continued. I would rather risk becoming sick or injured and have a job in veterinary medicine than have no job at all because of competition

Brahmagupta (Sanskrit: ब्रह्मगुप्त; listen (help·info)) (597–668 AD) was a Indian mathematician and astronomer who wrote many important works on mathematics and astronomy. His best known work is the Brāhmasphuṭasiddhānta (Correctly Established Doctrine of Brahma)‚ written in 628 in Bhinmal. Its 25 chapters contain several unprecedented mathematical results. Brahmagupta was the first to use zero as a number. He gave rules to compute with zero. Brahmagupta used negative numbers and zero for computing

Space science – study of everything in outer space.[1] This has sometimes been called astronomy‚ but recently astronomy has come to be regarded as a division of broader space science‚ which has grown to include other related fields‚[2] such as studying issues related to space travel and space exploration (including space medicine)‚[3] and science performed in outer space (see space research).

A ground breaking new tool used to study the heavens was introduced in the 17th century. This tool was known as the telescope. It revealed the cosmos in a different way than our naked eye could ever perceive. The telescope opened doors to countless stars‚ nebulae‚ galaxies‚ and a slew of never before seen wonders. With its creation came limitations and caused the need to improve and upgrade the methods in which the telescope functioned and find new ways of viewing the heavens.There are three main
