What courses should you study to become a space scientist?

Answer 1

There is no certain place to study astronomy. It can be studied from many places in the world. A place that many astronomers go to study is the deserts or places that are not very populated since this causes light pollution and makes it very hard to see anything. The best places on our planet are areas where the atmosphere is thinnest and therefore interferes the least with the observation. Furthermore, as stated earlier, areas away from human population are ideal because of light pollution reduction. An example of an ideal and or popular observing area for scientists would be on the top of a high mountain, such as Mount Palomar, the Keck Observatory on Mauna Kea in Hawaii,etc. This is because the atmosphere is thin and observing is much better than at sea level. These areas are also isolated from human population but still accessible by scientists.

Answer 2

First, you need better English skills because the question should be "what skills are needed to become an astronomer?" This is because you will have to go to university.

okay what you need is your PhD, pass all your course , make sure you know calculus and physics and that you know you are interested in this type of field of work or later in life you think you've wasted your time.

Answer 3

To be an astronomer (as in a career choice) one will need a strong background in science and math, particularily calculus and physics. College courses are usually rigorous and demanding for astronomy. Typical college courses run through the entirety of Calculus (Calc 1, 2, 3, and differential equations), as well as physics classes up to quantum mechanics. Furthermore, you will take astronomy related classes involving tasks specific to astronomy, such as parallax measuring, cosmology, etc. The field is competitive since there are not very many astronomers, and all are competing for observing time. In graduate schools you may be competing for grant money to do research. It also helps to be curious and to think outside the box. In summary: -Strong math and science skills, and a willingness to take some intense college classes -Curiosity of the universe -A passion for science

Answer 4

You should enroll in all of the Math and Physics courses you're allowed to take. Also, if you think

you'll ever have any interest in what goes on inside and on the surface of the stars and planets

themselves, you should also take Chemistry and Geology.

Answer 5

For colleges and universities within the United States and its territories, you can obtain this information by clicking on the related links section (College Board) indicated at the bottom of this answer section and using the College Board site College MatchMaker search engine. You can research colleges and universities by name, or by programs of study, or by geographical location, size, or combinations of part or all of them. The site will provide you with a list of institutions based on your request. It will give you the schools background, accreditation, degree offerings, programs of study (majors), entrance requirements, tuition and fees, financial assistance, room and board, athletic programs, school activities, etc., and a link to each institutions official web page. Practice navigating this site. It will be well worth the time and effort.

WARNING!!!

When choosing a college or university within the United States, make sure the institution has a regional accreditation. With a regional accreditation you can be assured the coursework and degree you complete will be recognized by all other colleges and universities as well as employers. Below I have listed the six regional accrediting agencies and their geographical areas of responsibility. I am disclosing the below so you do not become a victim of educational scams, institutions that are nothing more than diploma mills, or that do not have the best accreditation, and are eager to take your money for a degree that is worthless. Make sure the institution is accredited by one of following responsible agencies.

Regional Accreditation Agencies

· Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools - Educational institutions in New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the US Virgin Islands, as well as schools for American children in Europe, North Africa, and the Middle East.

· New England Association of Schools and Colleges - Educational institutions in the six New England states (Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Vermont).

· North Central Association of Colleges and Schools - Educational institutions in Arkansas, Arizona, Colorado, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, North Dakota, Nebraska, Ohio, Oklahoma, New Mexico, South Dakota, Wisconsin, West Virginia, and Wyoming.

· Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities - Postsecondary institutions (colleges and universities) in Alaska, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, Oregon, Utah, and Washington.

· Western Association of Schools and Colleges - Educational institutions in California, Hawaii, Guam, American Samoa, Micronesia, Palau, and Northern Marianas Islands.

· Southern Association of Colleges and Schools - Educational institutions in Virginia, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Alabama, Tennessee and Texas.

Answer 6

Most of them.

Astronomy used to be a lonely profession, with astronomers hunched over the eyepieces of their telescopes on remote mountaintops. But not any more. Now, nobody EVER (well, HARDLY ever!) actually looks through the telescope; it's all computerized, with digital cameras and controlled by computers. So an astronomer can work from anywhere via the internet, and they often do.

Answer 7

To become an Astronomer, you must pass your mathematics classes and your science classes.

You must find a good university and study astronomy, obviously, and earn a PhD in astronomy.

If you go back to college right after you graduate High School, you can have your PhD by time you're about 25 or 26.

Answer 8

The exact title varies from school to school, but it's usually something like "Astronomy". At most colleges, it's part of, or very closely related to, the Physics department.

If you're talking about what courses you should take in high school to prepare for majoring in astronomy in college: as much science and math as you can possibly cram in. At least Physics, and if your high school offers any math classes you don't take they'd better have names like "Elementary Consumer Mathematics." (They won't actually call a class "the minimum math you can take and still graduate", but those kinds of classes.) You want a minimum of four solid years of math, including at least precalculus.

Answer 9

Modern astronomy is a very mathematical branch of science. To become a professional astronomer you would need a degree from a university in astronomy, mathematics or physics. With a first degree you would then go on to take either a masters degree followed by a PhD or perhaps go straight on to a PhD. In preparation for an astronomy degree you should be studying (and doing well in) mathematics, physics, chemistry and possibly Biology.

Answer 10

A bachelor degree is the minimum education level needed for a career in Astronomy, but most research positions require a master degree or a doctorate. Some fields related to Astronomy include physics, engineering, mathematics, environmental science and computer programming
