The ISU Master of Space Studies Program (MSS) is intended for individuals seeking professional development, further academic study, or both, through a one or two-year graduate degree program.
Learn more about the political, economic, legal, commercial, scientific, and technical challenges associated with human exploration in space with an online bachelor’s degree in space studies from American Military University (AMU).
We offer degrees that provide students with the broader background necessary to understand the linkages between engineering, space science, and policy.
Celestial Matters is a science fantasy novel by American writer Richard Garfinkle , set in an alternate universe with different laws of physics. Published by Tor Books in 1996, it is a work of alternate history and elaborated "alternate science", as the physics of this world and its surrounding cosmos are based on the physics of Aristotle and ancient Chinese Taoist alchemy .
Discovering the origin, structure, evolution and destiny of the Universe, and searching for Earth-like planets.
Astrophysics is a branch of space science that applies the laws of physics and chemistry to seek to understand the universe and our place in it.
a branch of astronomy that deals with the condensed matter of the solar system and especially with the planets and their moons… See the full definition
Planetary science or, more rarely, planetology , is the scientific study of planets (including Earth ), moons , and planetary systems (in particular those of the Solar System ) and the processes that form them. It studies objects ranging in size from micrometeoroids to gas giants , aiming to determine their composition, dynamics, formation, interrelations and history. It is a strongly interdisciplinary field, originally growing from astronomy and earth science , but which now incorporates many disciplines, including planetary geology (together with geochemistry and geophysics ), cosmochemistry , atmospheric science , oceanography , hydrology , theoretical planetary science , glaciology , and exoplanetology . Allied disciplines include space physics , when concerned with the effects of the Sun on the bodies of the Solar System, and astrobiology .
