Astronomy Interview

Astronomy, is for me, why we are even here at all. As humans [and wizards], we owe our lives to discovering our own universe and beyond, it is our utmost dedication that we discover facts and information on everything around us. People have dedicated months, years, to discovering what truly makes us part of the universe, we have achieved and advanced so much just by studying our stars, our solar system and our neighbouring planets.

Over the last 50 years of bettering the space exploration, inventing technology, and detecting unique artifacts, we have acknowledged the importance of NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration). Therefore, in this letter I want to express why I believe this space administration is worth the cost. We have come to a point where there is a major enjoyment in seeing astronauts with unknown minerals. Based on such interest, people has found Sciene entertaining. And we have found those particular people in school striving to master a Science degree. All and all, NASA is worth the cost because it is an addition to scientific knowledge, keeps people employed, and allows students to stay in school.

As humans, we are born with a natural desire to learn and discover. With space exploration, we are able to do just that. In an online essay called “Is Space Exploration Worth the Cost”, Dr. Joan Vernikos,

Astronomy is probably the most ancient natural science in the history of the world. It is the study of celestial objects, such as planets, moons, stars, galaxies, and comets; in terms of mathematics, psychics, and chemistry. Earlier civilization studied astronomy by observations, whereas, now the focus is more on the physics and chemistry of the celestial bodies.

Our new understanding of the solar system and the technology we’ve developed through conducting missions has benefitted our society by helping us understand things about other planets, space, and most importantly help us understand more things about our home, planet Earth.

My personal quest for knowledge has been ongoing since the first day I picked up a science book. I have never been more interested in any subject. It truly spoke to me. At a college level, there is a magnitude of opportunities. I had the opportunity to participate in the Student Dissector program on campus in the Spring of 2015, I visited the Stanford Cadaver Lab with Biology Club this semester, and I traveled to see a talk by the world renowned American astrophysicist, cosmologist, author, and science communicator, Neil deGrasse Tyson.

To me, astronomy means understanding more about the universe we live in. We often get short sighted living on Earth, and we fail to realise just how much more there really is out there, not only in our Solar System but in the Milky Way and beyond! Learning about different planets and other celestial bodies opens up a whole new world (pardon the pun) of learning, and can teach us about past events such as the creation of our Solar System or even the universe. And by learning more about these foreign bodies, we are also learning more about the forces that govern Earth, how Earth came to be, and what may lie in store for us. Overall I think it is a very interesting subject, and while more down-to-Earth people (again, pardon the pun) may scoff

    “We find them smaller and fainter, in constantly increasing numbers, and we know that we are reaching into space, farther and farther, until, with the faintest nebulae that can be detected with the greatest telescopes, we arrive at the frontier of the known universe.”- Edwin Hubble. Edwin Hubble was a man known for his immaculate discoveries leading to better understanding the universe. The telescope built in honor of him did not fail to carry on his legacy. This essay will take you through Hubble’s life story, the Hubble space telescope’s description, the telescope's discoveries, and the implications of the telescope to our understanding of the universe.

As a lover for science, I fled with joy when I found out that I was born on the same month the dwarf planet “Pluto” was discovered. I have always been an enthusiast for art and science, especially Astronomy; it is a study that I was fascinated with. I believe that determination and perfectionism is important, and I am not the type of person who gives up on what they want easily so I was hard to satisfy, however, I learned to embrace that aspect of me and since then have always been trying my best to succeed and learn from my mistakes.

The night sky is full of mystery. That is what has always drawn me to studying astronomy. It all really started when I was in first grade, after visiting the planetarium at University Wisconsin Stevens Point. It was always as fascinating to me as a kid to find out what was going on, and what was out in the vast empties of space. So I have my heart set on being an astronomer. The question that I have to find out what should I aspect when I become astronomer and while am studying astronomy?

I honestly believe that amateur astronomers can really contribute to astronomy as suggested in "Seeing in the Dark". Due to the fact that they help make discoveries as well. Many amateur astronomers work with professional

Science photographers help people to understand the world around them. They capture horrific weather, natural disasters, planets unseen to the naked eye, and problems faced by the human race. Learning through science, photography is a step in the right direction. In order to become a successful science photographer, it is essential to use photography to highlight the wonders of the planet, to show how photography can help the world, and understand the career opportunities available, so that a photographer can make a positive impact on the world.

I am so easily captivated with the information gathered within the depths of the universe. In other words, I absolutely love reading articles and watching informational videos about astronomy. Every time I see an article space related, whether it be two stars converging, or an exoplanet has been discovered, I can’t wait to read it. I also enjoy looking at the many images captured by the Hubble Telescope, and researching the many future projects space organizations are working on. I am simply thirsty for knowledge, especially with astronomy. The continued growth of astronomy makes me become more curious and causes me to deeply think about astronomy.

Science has and always will play a constant important role in my daily life, maybe more so than others. Science for me has not always been my strong subject in school and I very easily tend to get intimidated. But when I look at my daily life and realize how much science plays a role in it, I cannot help but smile. Science is not at all bad, it has allowed me to do many things every day, even if I do not take the time to stop and think about it, it is there. From the way the microwave heats up the water for my coffee every morning or the way my body digests the food I eat every meal and makes

Finding out how and why things work and discovering how products are made has always my passion. I regularly watch engineering and science shows on the television. From my childhood, I have always been a very curious person who would not believe just because someone told me, but I had to know the reason behind it. Science always fascinated me, and I always wondered how we remained on the ground and never fell off something that is spherical. In school I was more interested in maths and science rather than History or Arts and this made me choose Chemistry, maths and physics as my Higher subjects. This has helped me appreciate how Science has been utilised to improve man’s life and make it easier. It is because of this that I would like to
