Top Physics Undergraduate

Over a quarter of a million students take the GMAT every year, and no two have exactly the same background. However, we used GMAC data to show the highest and lowest mean GMAT scores by undergraduate major. The graph below shows the mean scores by major, ranging from a 608 (Physics) to a 486 (Statistics). Test-takers are asked to select their major among 42 listed…

Best Physics Schools in the World

Seeking a degree in physics can mean that you are on the cutting edge of the very latest in technology and research. Physics is the study of matter and energy and how the two interact. Physicists often work in pure research and ponder big questions like the origin of the universe, the decay of the universe, and the building blocks of matter. However, physicists do…

What is Astronomy about?

Welcome to my 365 Days of Astronomy page for the April 14th, 2010 episode called “What is Astronomy?” This month I am exploring what astronomy is and how it interconnects with sciences such as physics, chemistry, geology, and biology. Of course, we all kinda know what astronomy is — that study of the planets, stars, galaxies — and so forth. If you take an astronomy…

Astronomy in London

The course extends over two academic years, starting in late September each year. First-year lectures will be given by the Department of Physics and Astronomy, at University College London in Gower Street (The exact location will depend on central booking of lecture spaces which cannot be confirmed until the start of September.) This is a convenient central London…

Space exploration photos

On the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, which began its operations on October 1, 1958, we offer this list of the 50 most memorable images from NASA’s history (see all 50 in the photo gallery below). We recognize that any such ranking is inherently subjective. The rationale for why any one image ranked two slots…

Majors at SDSU

A major is an area of specialized intensive study (as opposed to General Education - a broad area of study). You cannot graduate without fulfilling the requirements for a major. Students must meet the major requirements that are in effect at the time they declare the major, assuming continuous enrollment at SDSU. Based on your specific major and the type of degree…

Astronomy and mythology

Astronomy and Mythology in Ancient Japan Stars that played a significant role in the lives of common citizens in Japan were often given the distinction of being called Yowatashi Boshi or passing the night stars. This phrase was applied to prominent star groups which would appear in the East at sunset and set with the dawning sun. Orion is certainly one of the most…

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.
