God, you're just trying to make me say Im alcoholic or whatever. Been told that before
lol

 

Buy on AliExpress.com

[gray]

Finally she gets the point!

 

[Dragon]

You make me feel I'm a slow thinker! that always happens to me :down:

lol

 

[Zizou]

Blame that on the music

You can see Mars every night. It's the brightest 'star' next to the moon.

 

[Dragon]

Lol, maybe it is the music.

Here you can see Venus pretty easily, I really wish I could remember about Mars though..

haha! maybe it is.... Mars was pretty good, even from a really crappy telescope. Although, maybe being drunk made it even better to you....if you had been going on te amount of media exposure it received, it would have been as big as the full moon!!. I just noticed that you hate biology-I couldn't agree more!!! It is an absolutely horrendous subject!!
anyway, I sure hope I will see a solar eclipse!! do you do any astrophotography by any chance?

 

[Layce Erayce]

awski man you ask too much of her

 

[Dragon]

What do you mean, Josh?

Yay! Im all about scientific stuff BUT biology! I dont take any photographs because I dont even have a telescope. When I was little I always asked my parents for one but they never wanted to buy it... I will get one someday though.

 

[sallyinzaghi]

the only astronomy i did was looking through a telescope and saw the moon up close. beautiful, simply beautiful.

i didnt see mars, it was too cloudy over here in KL. darn.

 

[gray]

Wow, i'm suprised nobody's made any uranus jokes yet... i won't start

 

[Zizou]

Don't worry gray, we won't make any jokes about your anus.

You really should! My parents got me an extremelly cheap one-the main optics are good, but the mount and the eyepieces are crap, but it is still great to have. I've tried astrophotography, but didn't have the time or the equipment, unfortunately.....

 

[Dragon]

I have a question. Since you live in the USA is there any college carreer that has to do with astronomy? If so, where can I study that and whats the name? Thanks!!

 

[Henry]

Do you mean degrees, courses, or what? are you trying to figure what college you want to go to, or do you just want to take a course?

 

[Dragon]

A major I think thats the name for it. A carreer. 5 years at least

 

[Henry]

hmmmmmmm there are lots of different "career courses" you could take here.....I'll look around and post them in a sec

 

[Dragon]

Thanks a lot!!

 

[Henry]

no problem!

a student planning to go on to graduate school in astronomy should have had physics courses covering electricity and magnetism, atomic and nuclear physics, thermodynamics, statistical mechanics, and quantum theory. For some astronomy specialties, however, studies in geology or chemisty may be more appropriate.

there are the Ivy League Universities such as Cornell, Princeton, Harvard, Yale. If a university has a department of astronomy with more than 2 astronomers, it is probably a good enough school for an undergraduate program in physics and astronomy.

You need to take everything that physics majors take in college. Only in graduate school does your program look different. Undergraduate courses must be selected from the advanced courses in physics and mathematics. You also need advanced statistics under your belt. You probably do not have to take any of the topology courses in the math department, but all of the calculus and advanced math courses for physicists and engineers should be taken, and in physics..well...there is no such thing as not taking enough physics. You must also do at least B-level work or better in all of the courses you take.

:down::frown: I'll never get into any of that. Its how I knew it, math and physics all over the carreer.
It looks so cool, though. I should investigate more about it because I'd love to study that

 

[Henry]

yeah-it's all so bloody interesting!! unfortunately, I don't have much time for astronomy because of violin but I still think that if I manage to get in a good academic school, I will try and study astronomy anyway
