Apply physical laws to the working of the cosmos, and work in the largest laboratory there is: the universe itself. Through the study of astrophysics, researchers learn about the origin, structure, ...

Galileo Galilei, the first modern scientist, was a lone wolf. With his tiny refractor telescope and many nights of solo observations, Galileo dramatically altered the trajectory of human culture. But ...

Special Electives must be courses from outside the Physics Department. Courses below the lowest-level required course in the Physics major cannot be used as Special Electives. For example, no MATH ...

The B.S. in astronomy & astrophysics at UW offers students an adventurous course of study in astronomical objects—from stars to black holes to solar systems—and their properties and functions. The ...

There is a way out of this trap, but it requires a fundamental shift in how NASA thinks about astrophysics procurement. It is time to stop buying hardware and start subscribing to outcomes. It is time ...

Scientists at the University of Chicago have been unraveling the secrets of the far-flung universe for more than a century, but starting in 2018-19, undergraduates will be able to formally declare a ...

In the leading model of cosmology, most of the universe is invisible: a combined 95% is made of dark matter and dark energy.

An immensely powerful flash detected earlier this year was created by a massive star exploding when the universe was just ...

There is an important and unresolved tension in cosmology regarding the rate at which the universe is expanding, and ...
